This research project studies the relationship between educational practices and a sense of belonging for marginalized visitors and museum staff. The multi-site project involves collaboration with Fred Rogers Institute, Madison Children’s Museum, and the University of Wisconsin. Each participating museum is using a participatory design research approach to identify and reinvent educational practices that support or hinder a sense of belonging and develop a framework of learning practices focused on belonging. The project team will disseminate a toolkit of research activities that other sites can use to create collaboratively defined learning practices that enable more learners to thrive.
