An Exploration of Self-Identity Oriented Teen Programming within the Museum

Sarber, Jessica B

Abstract Details

2015, Master of Arts, Ohio State University, Arts Policy and Administration.
This research addresses the question: How can museums utilize identity theory in the creation and implementation of teen programming? In doing so, I investigate the current climate of teen writing programming within two Greater Columbus area institutions: Thurber House and the Wexner Center for the Arts. Interviewing administrative representatives from both institutions and analyzing documentation, including program evaluations, website content, and social media content, I aim to understand the goals of teen programming through its creation, implementation, and evaluation. I use these goals and cases to demonstrate how identity theory is prevalent within existent museum programming and to suggest how it can be used further within museum settings.
