Consideration of how natural history collections play vital role in research, learning, and engagement. Topics include history of museum collections; history of naming species; collection curation; collections-based research; decolonization and diversity, equity, accessibility, and inclusion practices; and education and outreach using museum collections. Students learn to curate collections and gain understanding of how collections are used for education, outreach, and research. Culminates in final project, where students synthesize and implement their knowledge to produce educational, outreach, or research product using specimens from museum.
