How can museums make opportunities for safe, open dialogue on immigration accessible to all stakeholders including both new immigrants and receiving communities? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eInterpreting Immigration includes strategies for the design, implementation, marketing and sustaining of programs that help visitors use the lens of history to address contemporary immigration issues and provides: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase studies from eight regionally diverse institutions including ethnic identity museums, immigration museums and local history sites\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePiloted and evaluated immigration program designs including models for exhibit development, art-based interpretation, school programs, adult programs and neighborhood walking tours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudience building strategies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA tested evaluation toolkit for measuring institutional success\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLessons learned through the National Dialogues on Immigration Project, a cross-regional series of public programs designed to spark a national conversation on critical immigration topics like citizenship, American identity, border control, freedom of movement, and civil liberties.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dina A.
