Museums & culture heritage orgs have a long history of integrating new media w/in their onsite interpretation & in 1950s, began using handheld devices. 1st audio tour was a radio broadcast @ Stedelijk Museum (NED). Visitors listened to a tour w/small receivers. #NCPH2020 #s59 2/
In the US, 1st portable interpretative audio tour, was the Guide-a-Phone dev’d for American Museum of Nature of History @AMNH in 1954 [IMG: Rota, Alex J. (photographer), “Guide-a-phone, 1954,” AMNH Research Library] #NCPH2020 #s59 3/

(8/15) Research Justice stands in contrast to a colonial model of knowledge extraction – documenting grassroots information for university based archival collections, scholarly research, and mainstream audiences. #NCPH2020 #s49 #humanitiestruck Image of Colonial Model of OH/PH Practice: Knowledge Extraction.  Big red arrow flowing from Grassroots Community that says “Collect” pointing to Academia, Classroom, Archives.  Thinner arrows point from there to The Outside Audiences: Imagined NPR “Public” (podcasts, books, websites, exhibits) and Scholars (Conferences, Articles, Books). Lower right says, “Shout Out to Helen Lewis.”
(9/15) Historical Society of Washington DC crafted an exhibit on the “official history” of the building that focused on the its preservation as an unqualified success. They also assisted with our project, providing images and information. #NCPH2020 #s49 #humanitiestruck Description: Image titled “Historical Society of Washington DC, exhibition of Carnegie Library” that traces the narrative arc of the “Official” History of the Carnegie Library.  Red arrows signal the rise, decline, and rise again of the library from its construction, abandonment, and renovation.
(10/15) Our historical interpretation arose from workshops with survivors of homelessness who identified the themes that shaped our research and exhibit creation. They defined what the Carnegie Library and its renovation meant for them. #NCPH2020 #s49 #humanitiestruck Image titled, “Generating Themes: What is the Meaning of the Carnegie Library?”  Two photos of a workshop with themes listed as: “Bad News for the Poor,” “False Promises,” “Not for Us,” and “Hidden Plans.”

(1/15) Community Engaged History in the Midst of Community Displacement.
The Humanities Truck exhibit “Downtown Displaced” evolved from a five-month long collaboration with Homeless Filmmakers Co-op (HFC) in Washington, DC. #NCPH2020 #s49 #humanitiestruck
(2/15) The project embraced a model of research justice. HFC defined the topic, the research questions, and the project themes. Through workshops, they co-interpreted the research, co-created the exhibit, and solely authored a performance. #NCPH2020 #s49 #humanitiestruck
(3/15) Community Based Research depends on fluidity, an ability to change course, ditch preconceptions, and explore new directions that have yet to be conceptualized. Be comfortable with perplexity and be prepared to be patient and flexible. #NCPH2020 #s49 #humanitiestruck

I got hired into a TT job while I was pregnant w/ a due date 45 days into my appointment. I'll never forget the enthusiasm of the dean who hired me when I told her. She worked hard on the negotiation process to try to find the most humane solutions possible for me #ncph2020 #wg5
In the end, I worked from home for my first semester. We didn't move to Texas until baby was 3 months old. This was great because our families could help us out for a few months.

I had a modified 1:1 teaching load my first year because I was hired to build a PH MA #wg5 #ncph2020
They shifted it to a 0:2 load. I didn't have access to FMLA since I was brand new but they figured out how to get me short term disability for 6 weeks and mostly let me be for the next 4-6 weeks as I prepared to move. #wg5 #ncph2020

Hi, I’m David of @fordstheatre, along w Braden of @SitesConscience. We’re talking about the interp planning process we did together and internal work needed to plan at a site of political violence. @KateHG4 led process, cooperative btwn @fordstheatre & @FordsTheatreNPS. #NCPH2020
This session is a virtual version of our pop-up "Doing the Internal Work for the External Work: Interpretive Planning at Ford's Theatre." Session descrip here: f4c207.m.attendify.com/app/sessions/9…

This is an experiment in tweeting, so would love feedback! Will thread gradually. #ncph2020
We did the process over 8 months in 2018. We’d had inconsistent messaging in other interpretive projects, and needed a baseline for future exhibit and program planning. Lots of meetings—timeline shows how many meetings and checkpoints we had. #NCPH2020 Timeline showing months between May and December 2018, describing meetings and checkpoints of Ford’s Theatre interpretive planning process. Includes Meeting 1 in May, training in early June, Meeting 2 in late June, two staff surveys in July and August, discussion with scholars in early September, Meeting 3 in early October, Meeting 4 in late October, finished plan in December.
