Museums, and museum professionals, engage in a significant role within society. This dissertation is a qualitative exploratory
study of the ways in which museum professionals promote or hinder the social inclusivity of museums through curatorial voice. Through a
series of exhibit evaluations and intensive interviews, the researcher investigates the mechanisms used to craft curatorial voice within
museums that handle contested subject material. This research seeks to broaden the understanding of curatorial voice, as viewed through
the theoretical lenses of gatekeeper theory and co-creation of identity, with the explicit purpose of aiding in the development of
professional guidance to help make museums more socially inclusive. / A Dissertation submitted to the School of Information in partial fulfillment of the requirements for
