This podcast investigates the ways in which public programs from museum spaces can successfully foster community engagement. It discusses my personal experiences with the museum and reviews various case studies and the research associated with them on the effects different programs and projects had on visitors. Special thanks to Jessica Nicoll, Charlene Miller, Abril Navarro, and Travis Grandy for their help on this project.
