Abstract

Many African American museums face financial constraints and need resources to preserve their collections, create exhibits, and offer educational programs. Grant funding is crucial for the sustainability of these museums. Black anthropologists are essential in grant writing because they provide their extensive knowledge of African American history and culture to help museums develop compelling narratives that resonate with grant funders. Additionally, Black anthropologists are needed as reviewers of grant proposals. By leveraging their unique insights from professional training and personal experiences, Black anthropologists can champion the cause of these museums in the grant-making process. Their expertise allows them to assess proposals from a culturally sensitive perspective, considering the unique needs, goals, and challenges African American museums face. This essay highlights the significant contributions of Black anthropologists who have advocated for and strengthened grant applications from African American museums, ensuring that they align with the mission and vision of the grant-making institutions. By helping African American museums secure grant support, Black anthropologists also convey the significance and value of other African American museums.

增强非裔美国人博物馆的能力:黑人博物馆人类学家在捐赠中的重要作用
许多非裔美国人博物馆面临财政困难,需要资源来保存藏品、制作展品和提供教育项目。拨款对于这些博物馆的可持续发展至关重要。黑人人类学家在撰写赠款申请时至关重要,因为他们可以提供有关非裔美国人历史和文化的广泛知识,帮助博物馆编写引人入胜的叙事,引起赠款资助者的共鸣。此外,还需要黑人人类学家担任赠款提案的评审员。黑人人类学家可以利用他们从专业培训和个人经历中获得的独特见解,在拨款过程中为这些博物馆的事业提供支持。他们的专业知识使他们能够从文化敏感的角度评估提案,考虑非裔美国人博物馆的独特需求、目标和面临的挑战。这篇文章重点介绍了黑人人类学家的重大贡献,他们为非裔美国人博物馆的赠款申请提供了支持和帮助,确保这些申请符合赠款机构的使命和愿景。通过帮助非裔美国人博物馆获得拨款支持,黑人人类学家还传达了其他非裔美国人博物馆的意义和价值。

期刊介绍: Museum Anthropology seeks to be a leading voice for scholarly research on the collection, interpretation, and representation of the material world. Through critical articles, provocative commentaries, and thoughtful reviews, this peer-reviewed journal aspires to cultivate vibrant dialogues that reflect the global and transdisciplinary work of museums. Situated at the intersection of practice and theory, Museum Anthropology advances our knowledge of the ways in which material objects are intertwined with living histories of cultural display, economics, socio-politics, law, memory, ethics, colonialism, conservation, and public education.
