Laura A. Macaluso researches and writes about museums, monuments, and material culture. She has a Ph.D. from the Humanities/Cultural & Historic Preservation Departments at Salve Regina University in Newport, Rhode Island and in 2018 the narrative portion of her dissertation titled The Public Artscape of New Haven: Themes in the Creation of a City Image, was published. In 2019 Historic Virginia: A Tour of the State’s National Historic Landmarks will be published. She lives in Lynchburg, Virginia.

Ultimately, Monument Culture makes a strong intervention on the growing scholarly literature and media coverage related to monuments. This intervention is particularly welcome as the approach is truly international in scope, emphasizing the global nature of this culture and its complexities in diverse contexts across seven continents. This volume will therefore be of interest to scholars and students of cultural heritage studies, museum studies, library and information science, history, art and architecture. It should also be of value to individuals concerned with or working in public policy arenas, particularly policies pertaining to public space and culture.
