The City of Toronto History Museums have implemented a new strategic plan to diversify the stories they present beyond conventional mainstream narratives. How do visitors experience the museums’ e>orts in diversifying stories? What can we learn about “diversity” from these visitor experiences? Students in ANT465: Ethnographic Practicum – Toronto Tours explore these questions by conducting participant observations and ethnographic interviews at the Spadina Museum and the Fort York National Historic Site. Come hear what the students discovered and join the discussion.
