Abstract
Edward T. Hall introduced the theory of high context and low context cultures to the fields of anthropology and communication studies. In doing so, he offered a lense for understanding the ways that dialogue is framed within specific cultures. While many college students understand this theory quickly, the application of the theory to daily communication may take a little effort. Leading students through a series of museum related activities focused on analysis of art and artifacts can help students engage in critical thinking and practice the application of theory, like Hall’s. This paper will highlight and offer suggestions for embedding museums into college curriculum.
