- Morales takes part in competitive summer Latino Museum Studies Program
For the past month, Alberto Morales, anthropology graduate student, has been working
behind the scenes of Smithsonian museums and collections in Washington, D.C. as part
of the Latino Museum Studies Program. Sponsored by the Smithsonian Latino Center, the competitive summer research and leadership program allows graduate students
to develop their museum practices within a Latino framework under professional curators,
researchers, historians, archivists and professors. The program includes a two-week
leadership seminar designed to enhance research and creative skills through a series
of panel discussions, hands-on workshops, interactive discussions and tours of Smithsonian
museums. The second component is a four-week practicum.
Morales is one of fifteen students selected from a nationwide pool to participate
in the program.
