Do you love what museums do and think you'd like to work in one? Or are you already working there and ready to take your career to the next level?
Watch our recent online open house to learn more about the Museum Studies specialization in the School of Library and Information Science (SLIS) at Kent State University: http://bit.ly/MuseumStudies-LINK.
SLIS Assistant Professor Kiersten F. Latham, Ph.D., and Jason Crabill, M.L.I.S. (Kent State), Manager, Curatorial Services, Ohio Historical Society, explore such topics as:

*       What is museum studies?

*       What makes Kent State's program unique?

*       What can you do with this specialization?

*       How will earning the M.L.I.S. with a museum studies specialization help advance my career?

*       What courses are offered - when and where?

*       And more ...


The museum studies specialization at Kent State SLIS is led by Kiersten F. Latham, Ph.D. She received her doctorate in library and information management from Emporia State University, Kansas; a master's in historical administration and museum studies from the University of Kansas; and a bachelor's in anthropology from the University of Michigan. Before coming to Kent State in 2010, she taught at the University of Kansas, Lawrence; Bowling Green State University, Bowling Green, Ohio; and Michigan State University, East Lansing, as well as online courses for the Northern States Conservation Center.
Latham has more than 20 years' experience working in museums in various capacities - as curator, collection manager, director, volunteer, program coordinator, archivist, historic interpreter, board member, exhibit designer and consultant. Her research interests center on the relationship between physical objects and humans, especially the role of affect and lived experience; document theory; and convergence issues surrounding libraries, archives and museums.
