Professionals and scholars work best when they work together, but to what end? What fundamental research questions must we investigate to better understand beer’s historical and cultural significance? What narratives and stories are the most important to convey via exhibits and public programming? This panel brings cutting edge scholars, museum professionals, and archivists to the table to consider what questions and goals should drive our field of study.

 With Liz Garibay (Chicago Brewseum), Dr. Jennifer Jordan (University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee), Dr. Theresa McCulla, Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History, and Michael Morgan (Queen City History and Education).

In-person at the Field Museum.
