Richard Sandell does a podcast for DEMOS!
Demos, The Thinktank for everyday democracy, are doing a series of podcasts, one of the first starring Richard Sandell talking about his new book Museums, Prejudice and the Reframing of distance.
"Dr. Richard Sandell is Deputy Head of the Department of Museum Studies at the University of Leicester. He has just published a book called'Museums, Prejudice and the Reframing of Difference' (Routledge). While trust in our neighbours, the police and political parties declines, museums and galleries enjoy high levels of trust and respect from the public - as Richard says in this cast, they are perceived to “tell it like it is”. In this light, Richard looks at the capacity to of museums to change the way we perceive other cultures, minorities and interest groups, and the legitimacy of cultural institutions to actively shape those perceptions."
