as portals for discovery. Thanks for the detailed response!<br>

<div dir="ltr">Hi Eric - There are two courses offered at UC Berkeley aimed at teaching students about collections and museums. One is a freshman seminar taught by Dr. Eileen Lacey and focused on the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology. The other is a higher level
course (IB/ESPM 105, "Natural History Museums and Biodiversity Science") that <span style="float:none; display:inline">
is a broad collaboration between a number of faculty and staff affiliated with the different Berkeley Natural History Museums (co-led by Drs. Brent Mishler and Rosemary Gillespie). I am copying them all here in case you have more questions about the courses.</span>
<div><span style="float:none; display:inline"><br>

<div>In the MVZ, we also have an Undergraduate Program that engages students in museum science through the UC Berkeley Undergraduate Research Apprentice Program (URAP). Here is a

<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">With a colleague at the University of Connecticut's Benton Art Museum, I am preparing a multidisciplinary course for freshman Honors students on collections and museums. The topics covered will include the history of
collecting, the taxonomy of collections (e.g. art, natural history), how collections promote knowledge production and discovery, the practice of collecting and its ethics. I am interested in connecting with others who teach courses focused on collections,
be they similarly multidisciplinary or confined to natural history collections--and especially if they are undergraduate courses-- what readings on these topics have you found engaging and informative?<br>
