Books by Margaret Kadoyama

Examining the key components of the museum-community relationship, Authentic Connections looks at both the impact of museums on the cultural and civic lives of local communities, and the impact of local communities on the programs, collections and organisational culture of museums. Advocating an accessible and inclusive approach to museum management, Kadoyama focuses in particular on the role of museum leadership in fostering community relationships. The result offers insights into how relationships between communities and museums can be forged in practice, and how community engagement strategies can be developed, implimented and evaluated successfully.
