Stein will discuss the new Burke Museum, which “reveals Burke research and collections in a radically transparent and accessible way, and connects visitors to staff and volunteers who use them. This process is called ‘turning the museum inside out’ and establishes the Burke as a new kind of museum,” according to a press release.

Stein, who previously served as the museum’s curator of archaeology, maintains a professor position in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Washington, and was divisional dean of Research, Computing, and Facilities for the College of Arts and Sciences.
