Representing Race Responsibly: A case study of the social responsibility paradigm in Colorado museums __________ A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of Social Sciences University of Denver __________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts __________ by Angela Rueda November 2014 Advisor: Dr. Christina Kreps ©Copyright by Angela Rueda 2014 All Rights Reserved ! Author: Angela Rueda Title: Representing Race Responsibly: A case study of the social responsibility movement in Colorado museums Advisor: Dr. Christina Kreps Degree Date: November 2014 ABSTRACT Although museums have moved towards more reflexive practice, misrepresentation continues to be a concern. How then can museums successfully represent racial and ethnic groups that have historically been marginalized or misrepresented? In this thesis I argue that with greater integration of the social responsibility paradigm—which argues that museums can be agents of social change— museums may be able to improve representation. During the summer of 2013, I conducted field research that explored how the social responsibility paradigm was or was not being enacted at The History Colorado Center and Museo de las Americas. This thesis offers a critical analysis of these institutions’ philosophies, exhibitions, and related programs. Analysis reveals that the social responsibility paradigm is being adapted into museum work, but often to varying degrees. Moving past surface portrayals of racial and ethnic heritage through a greater acknowledgement and incorporation of the social responsibility paradigm may help to transform museums into more collaborative spaces. ii !

CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION Museums and galleries of all kinds have both the potential to contribute towards the combating of social inequality and a responsibility to do so (Sandell 2002:3). In March 2010 the Colorado History Museum in Denver closed its doors and began the process of moving, renovating, and reinventing itself. Entrusted with the task of cultivating a new institution, museum staff viewed the opening of the History Colorado Center (History Colorado) as an opportunity to transform what some considered a static, forgotten history museum into something fresh and dynamic (Bill Convery, interview with the author, The History Colorado Center, July 3, 2013). With the hope of breathing new life into the past, History Colorado sought to present Colorado heritage in an innovative,

    Photo: VISIT DENVER MPMA Regional Museum Conference 64th Annual MPMA Conference October 15 - October 19 | Denver, CO Photo: ToddPowell Photo Credit VISITDENVER 2017 Preliminary Conference Program Photo: VISIT DENVER Western Altitude / Western Attitude Photo: VISIT DENVER Photo: VISIT DENVER/Steve Crecelius Western Altitude / Western Attitude Join in the conversation: #MPMA2017 Why Museums Are Needed Now More Than Ever Photo: VISIT DENVER/Steve Crecelius Invitation from the MPMA Conference Chairs Dear Colleagues and Friends: Join us this fall in Denver, Colorado…where the Rocky Mountains meet the Great Plains. What an appropriate place for the 2017 annual meeting of the Mountain-Plains Museums Association (MPMA), an organization where the museums of the mountains and plains come together. And MPMA even had its origins in this area. Here you will discover Western Altitudes and Western Attitude at our museums, historic sites, and within our people. John Deutschendorf was so impressed by Denver that he took it as his last name, becoming one of Colorado’s beloved balladeers, singing about our altitudes and our attitudes. John Denver wasn’t alone in his attraction to the area; millions have been rushing to the state since gold was discovered in 1859. What you will discover during our conference is that Denver is not just a single city but an entire region offering many great cultural resources as well as great scenic beauty. Our evening events will capitalize on the best that the Denver area has to offer. The opening event will be hosted in the heart of Denver by History Colorado, site of exhibits about Colorado’s history (including “Backstory: Western American Art in Context,” an exciting collaboration with the Denver Art Museum), and by the Clyfford Still Museum, where the works and life of one of the fathers of abstract expressionism are exhibited.

Despite the uncertainty, we continue to work together with our colleagues, donors, funders, staff, and elected officials to create plans that serve the needs of our communities. Information about the pandemic changes and evolves daily and we, as a Denver community, want to understand what is important to our guests as we work to re-open the doors to our institutions and organizations. While there are no concrete answers in a time like this, the Department of Community Research & Engagement Strategies at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science developed this pan-institutional study focused on our arts and culture community to create a shared, empirical picture around which our Denver cultural community could come together. We hope that these results support your continued re-opening efforts. It has been our honor to offer this small gesture of fellowship.
