Hi,

The Institute of Museum Ethics http://www.museumethics.org/ was launched in 2008 with a conference that addressed the themes you are asking about. There is a quite extensive overview of the program including video of the presentations at:

Hello all:

For a class that Preeti Gupta and I are teaching at NYU called "museums community and identity", we are looking for articles, books, bibliographies addressing museums and social activism.  
We'd be grateful for any pointers you all have.

Thanks!
