While existing literature has described scientists' views on public outreach and engagement, less is known about this particular setting and how bringing the public into what is normally a private workspace may differ both in terms of logistics and scientists' perceptions. Through survey (<i>n</i> = 44) and interview (<i>n</i> = 19) data, there was overwhelming evidence that researchers believed behind-the-scenes tours of their collections to be valuable to the public and to furthering the museum's mission. Their primary motivation for wanting to engage the public stemmed from a desire to contribute to society. Researchers also identified several barriers to leading tours in their collections including time constraints, safety or security concerns, accessibility, and ethical considerations. However, they also provided several suggestions for how to overcome these obstacles as the value of offering tours was seen as outweighing the barriers.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":10791,"journal":{"name":"Curator: The Museum Journal","volume":"69 2","pages":"186-197"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2026-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147715176","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, when their stories are inadequately or inaccurately represented, it can reinforce misconceptions and hinder public understanding of disability. While tools and frameworks exist to guide conversations about people with disabilities, there are no equivalent resources for discussing animals with disabilities. This gap poses a challenge for zoos and aquariums, where staff may work closely with animals who have disabilities but lack inclusive language and approaches to share their stories. To address this, a team of disability scholars and zoo professionals in the US, many of whom have lived experience with congenital or acquired physical or cognitive disabilities, collaborated to develop best practices for framing these conversations based on recommendations from the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The adoption of this guide can enhance positive perceptions of animals and people with disabilities. Future work needs to assess how this tool could be used or modified to be more inclusive of an international audience.</p>","PeriodicalId":10791,"journal":{"name":"Curator: The Museum Journal","volume":"69 1","pages":"117-121"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/cura.70007","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145983937","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Twenty graduate students and alumni from New Media programs, chosen for their expertise in digital platforms, provided written responses regarding their experiences. Thematic analysis was employed to identify the benefits and limitations of virtual art engagement. Participants highlighted the freedom and accessibility offered by digital platforms but also pointed to significant technical shortcomings, including inadequate image resolution, cumbersome navigation, and lack of immersive features. Enhancing user engagement in virtual art tours requires a multifaceted approach that addresses both technological and experiential aspects. In this regard, recommendations include improving visual quality, incorporating interactive elements, and designing more socially engaging environments to enrich virtual museum experiences.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":10791,"journal":{"name":"Curator: The Museum Journal","volume":"69 1","pages":"103-116"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145964299","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Cultural Rights and Social Inclusion: Reflections on the Engagement of Refugee Communities in Egyptian Museums","authors":"Nevine Nizar Zakaria, Heba Alders","doi":"10.1111/cura.70002","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1111/cura.70002","url":null,"abstract":"<p>In recent decades, Egypt has been a place of refuge for many individuals fleeing political upheaval, including Sudanese, Syrian, Yemeni, Iraqi, and Palestinian communities. The influx of Sudanese refugees since 2023 has further increased the country's refugee population. Yet, despite their growing presence, Egyptian museums have largely overlooked the stories, heritage, and experiences of refugees in their exhibitions and programs. This paper addresses this gap by exploring how Egyptian museums could advance social inclusion of refugee communities and support their cultural rights. Grounded in human rights frameworks and informed by museum practices from both the Global North and the Global South, the study employs a qualitative approach, drawing on in-depth interviews with museum professionals from the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities and individuals from refugee communities. It examines perceptions of the current lack of tailored initiatives and investigates how museums can foster intercultural understanding, promote social engagement, and help reduce inequalities in refugees' participation in cultural life. The findings reveal critical barriers rooted in institutional priorities, limited resources, and broader sociopolitical dynamics that often hinder their cultural inclusion, but also highlight emerging awareness among museum professionals of the need to engage marginalized groups. The paper proposes practical strategies for Egyptian museums to move beyond their traditional agendas by developing sustainable initiatives—such as co-created exhibitions, intercultural workshops, and collaborations with refugee organizations—that amplify refugees' voices and promote shared values of diversity and inclusion.</p>","PeriodicalId":10791,"journal":{"name":"Curator: The Museum Journal","volume":"69 1","pages":"57-79"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/cura.70002","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145970051","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
