About the Author

Aletheia Wittman co-founded The Incluseum in 2012 and currently acts as co-director. Wittman is also a consultant supporting organizations in the midst of navigating inclusive transformation. From 2017-2020 Wittman worked at the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture in Seattle, the first to hold the position of Interpretation Programs Manager and part of the team that launched the redesigned museum in October 2019. From 2012-2016 she managed exhibits as well as youth and family programming for the Seattle Architecture Foundation (SAF). Aletheia holds an MA Museology from the University of Washington where she researched emerging curatorial practice in art museums and how those practices engage with social justice issues.

Rose Paquet co-founded, coordinates and dreams with the Incluseum. She was born and raised in French- speaking Belgium and has worked for a host of museums, including art and natural history museums, community- based museums, and a museum without walls in Alaska. Rose currently lives in Savannah, GA where she is working on her dissertation and learning about the unique challenges that cultural heritage organizations in the Deep South face in terms of truth, justice, and reconciliation. She is part of the Chatham County Community Remembrance Project Coalition in partnership with Equal Justice Initiative to memorialize documented victims of racial violence and foster meaningful dialogue about race and justice.

Formerly Consulting Curator and Inclusion Catalyst at the Columbia Museum of Art, Moore presents regularly at museum conferences such as AAM, MCN, Museums and the Web, AAAM, and others. Moore coined the phrase, "The Inclusive Museum Movement" and has served as one of the original architects of Museums and Race, advisor to Museums as Site for Social Action, and is the co-creator of The Visitors of Color project. Dr. Moore holds a doctorate in Library and Information Science and a graduate certificate in Museum Management from the University of South Carolina and the McKissick Museum.

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
