What should inclusion mean for museum staff and leaders as they envision new ways of being a museum in an emergent future? Museum workers and lovers can use this book as a tool for engaging with inclusion anew, and as a terrain for collaborative inquiry and world-building that can help us imagine and realize new potential for museums in the future.
