Joyce Apsel is a professor in the Global/Liberal Studies Program at New York University and was a recipient of the 2009 NYU Distinguished Teaching Award. She is a board member of the International Network of Museums for Peace and President of the Institute for the Study of Genocide.
This volume examines peace museums, a small and important (but often overlooked) series of museums whose numbers have multiplied internationally since the 1970s. It introduces the history and significance of peace museums and their different approaches through a selected series of peace museum sites. It attempts to categorize and distinguish between different types of museums that are linked to peace in name, theme or purpose and to urge a "critical peace museums studies" in examining their varied emphasis and content.
