Journey back Inside The Blanket Fort this week as we take a closer look at the new SIU Press book we previewed in last week’s episode: Engaging Museums: Rhetorical Education and Social Justice by Lauren E. Obermark. This book examines rhetorical engagement with difficult topics, focusing on three case studies of museums that have undertaken the complex task of representing traumatic events: the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center, the National World War I Museum, and the Oklahoma City National Memorial Museum.
