Religion, Cultural Politics, and Public Knowledge
Educational Policy, v36 n7 p1929-1938 Nov 2022
Almost all of the discussions surrounding educational policy focus their attention on particular places, especially various kinds of formal schooling. While this focus is of course crucial, it tends to ignore other educational sites where acts of teaching go on and where challenges to accepted understandings are waged. These include libraries and the topic of this essay, museums. "Creating the Creation Museum" clearly documents why such sites are worthy of our most serious attention. The book is a substantive contribution in a number of ways. It offers important critical insights about the Museum and its overt role in "advancing a long standing movement goal: advancing the cultural authority of creation science." It also provides us with an expanded set of methodological tools for engaging in such work.
