Why donate to MER?
Historical Scholarly Record & Future Innovations
The Museum Education Roundtable has preserved a rich historical record spanning 50 years of museum education scholarship, trends, and critical issues through the Journal of Museum Education. This invaluable peer-reviewed archive continues to serve as a cornerstone for understanding the evolution of the field of museum education from impactful leaders, scholars, and practitioners. The journal provides grounding in both theory and practice to support and spur innovative transformations from current and future generations of professionals.
Modeling and Promoting DEAI within the Profession
The Museum Education Roundtable’s commitment to Diversity, Equity, Accessibility, and Inclusion (DEAI) reform has significantly shaped the board and the field. Notably, the Board of Directors have restructured the board and its processes to model the reflexive work required of effective DEAI. The Journal of Museum Education (JME) is a testament to this change and its impact, representing a platform for leaders, scholars, and practitioners to have thought-provoking dialogue and demonstrative change within museum education.
Unapologetically Taking a Stand
The Museum Education Roundtable has been a vocal advocate for important social and political issues. From Black Lives Matter to civic education erosion, MER isn’t afraid to use its platform to situate the field of museum education within broader societal issues to encourage action, positioning itself as a driving force for change in the museum landscape.
Donations to MER support the publication of the Journal of Museum Education and continued research in the field, encourages advocacy and leadership, and fosters community among museum educators.
