The Maguire Ethics Center is proud to announce Mark A. Roglán Director of the Custard Institute for Spanish Art and Culture P. Gregory Warden, Ph.D., will give the 2023 Maguire Public Scholar Lecture. 

Lecture Excerpt: The role of museums as impartial arbiters is being challenged, in an increasingly political and polarized age, through social media and stakeholder activism. What does the concept of museum neutrality actually mean? How can this concept be applied to the vast variety of museums, an estimated 35,000 in the US alone, that run the gamut from fine arts, historical places, science, archaeology, sports, religion, entertainment, and even highly specialized thematic displays? How can museums negotiate the ethical challenges that result from widely disparate expectations as they consider their fundamental duty to serve the Public Good?
