Global Flyers studying museums in the UK and Ireland had a big day today! They met with Zandra Yeaman to talk about the anti racist project (Curating Discomfort) transforming the Hunterian Museum; then Sr. Kneeland led students in an exercise looking at Empire and Slavery at the Kelvingrove Museum. More adventures tomorrow!
