[Nhcoll-l] Who teaches courses focused on the subject of collections for undergraduates?

[Schultz, Eric]

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?
