How The Pandemic Affects Museums And Heritage, Grace J. Bowling
How The Pandemic Affects Museums And Heritage, Grace J. Bowling
Ideas: Exhibit Catalog for the Honors College Visiting Scholars Series
Heritage is a dynamic concept up to interpretation by individuals and communities. It is shaped by the culture we engage with. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, museums shifted to a much more virtual format and in-person attendance dropped. Virtual engagement with a museum bypasses any spatial and temporal restraints from physically going to a museum. This can both increase accessibility in heritage and remove vital context and importance from the object. The changes in how we engage with museums resulting from the pandemic fundamentally affect the way we engage with and interpret heritage.

Many systems in society are set up to disadvantage various disabled communities, leading to an inherently ableist society. The Disability Justice Movement seeks to change the way the world views disabled people through the restructuring of cognitive models surrounding disability. Dr. Shoshana Magnet highlights an example of a need for the Disability Justice Movement in her recent book about biometrics. I hope to explain how biometrics disadvantage disabled people in a similar way to other systems, and present the need for a new social disability model.
