Chan Screven

Chandler Screven is widely regarded as the great elder statesman of museum visitor studies. A contemporary of B. F. Skinner, with whom he sustained a heated debate on the importance of motivation as a modulating variable of behaviour, he was a pioneer in the study of visitor behaviour in museums. Professor at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee, he began his work at the Milwaukee Public Museum, and later in life taught museum design at the Illinois Institute of Technology, applying his expertise at Chicago museums such as the Field Museum and the Museum of Science and Industry, as well as on new projects across the country. His influence is particularly notable in the training of new generations of professionals and in the field’s publishing landscape, with his journal ILVS, the influential 1993 dossier on ‘visitor studies’ in the ICOM journal, and the publication of the first bibliographical compilations on visitor studies and exhibition evaluation. He was recognised by the Visitor Studies Association, which presented him with its first professional award in Birmingham, AL., in 1997.
