<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; color:black">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?</span></p>
