Two prior reviews of this exhibit criticize an effort to conciliate patrons and avoid controversy, a charge that is, in part, substantiated by an accompanying plaque disclaiming any inherent conflict between “scientific explorations into the material world and a spiritual search for the meaning of human existence.” Written plaques are reinforced by three scientists on continuous loop, two of whom are professed Christians whose views might be faulted for abstracting humans from the animal kingdom, granting to religious metaphysics what has been explained by evolution, and implying a purposeful teleology where none exists. Eschewing these points of criticism, this paper pursues the divide between the exhibit’s conciliation and scientific opinion. Inclusion of two prominent theistic evolutionists implicitly biases public perception, as previous authors charge. Here, criticism might rest, except for decades of evolutionary explanations of human brains and behaviors. With advances in behavioral ecology, evolutionary psychology, and evolutionary biology, there are compelling reasons to understand religion itself to be a product of evolution, as do the majority of life scientists. Unfortunately, this museum video, operating without reference to sociobiological explanation, continues, like Stephen Jay Gould, to parse religion and science into independent magesteria.","PeriodicalId":29738,"journal":{"name":"Museums & Social Issues-A Journal of Reflective Discourse","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15596893.2017.1375446","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45261761","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Over 500 students from 20 universities worked together to stimulate a national dialog focused on how mass incarceration has shaped the social definitions of citizenship, criminality, confinement, and economy. As each university investigated a local example of one of these themes and its effect on their nearby community, 16 graduate students from Indiana University-Purdue University, Indianapolis (IUPUI), supported by Indiana Humanities and the IUPUI Arts and Humanities Institute, used a wide variety of research methods to study the history of confinement and mental illness in Indianapolis, Indiana. Through site visits, theoretical studies, interviews with people involved in the criminal justice and mental healthcare systems, archival research, and community partnerships, our research question, asking why prisons have become the nation’s mental healthcare facilities, began to take shape.","PeriodicalId":29738,"journal":{"name":"Museums & Social Issues-A Journal of Reflective Discourse","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15596893.2017.1292102","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43196046","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Architecture also shapes peoples’ experiences of places and institutions, and provides a unique source of evidence of historical change. This article describes how students from the School of Architecture and the Humanities at the University of Texas at Austin researched the spaces of migrant detention in Texas, which is a critical part of America’s larger story of mass incarceration. Students mapped the physical locations, architectural forms, and building histories of Texas’ detention centers, and worked with migrants who had been detained to create visual stories of their migration journeys and experiences in detention. These methods support the argument that the spaces of immigrant detention – the material forms, geographic locations, institutional structures, and nested experiences – are critical to understanding a disjuncture between detention policy and detention practice. The US government asserts that immigrant detention is civil in nature, yet detention centers owned by private prison corporations and located in unpopulated rural localities with limited public access replicate US prisons, and are experienced by migrants as punitive environments. These methods also contribute to a more robust and expansive public “spatial imagination” regarding the relationship between immigrant detention and the environment, which is necessary to envisioning alternative systems of (and to) immigrant detention.","PeriodicalId":29738,"journal":{"name":"Museums & Social Issues-A Journal of Reflective Discourse","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15596893.2017.1292101","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47519221","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While mass incarceration has garnered increased media and scholarly attention in recent years, mainstream analyses overlook the role of gender, even as women are the fastest-growing segment of the incarcerated population in the United States. This article argues that women’s incarceration and the gendered aspects of the carceral state need to become more prominent in the national narrative, and that museums and public history institutions, in partnership with local communities, have the potential to lead this effort. Archival research and oral history interviews with community activists on the ground shed light on the gendered aspects of incarceration in the United States while, at the same time, amplifying the voices of community members and activists. Doing so provides a model for how museums and public history professionals can become active participants in promoting social change.","PeriodicalId":29738,"journal":{"name":"Museums & Social Issues-A Journal of Reflective Discourse","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15596893.2017.1292104","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48125972","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
