Every fall, my grad Intro to #publichistory class takes to Twitter to share PH resources and reflect. This semester they'll each be choosing an area of expertise to develop and share here. Here they are if you'd like to follow them and learn more! /Thread
Museums cannot be community centers, but they can be at the center of their community. - Felicia Bell referring to recent words by @SmithsonianSec. #AASLH2020
I LOVE when people start by telling us how their thinking about their panel has shifted. Because let's be real - this always happens. I love when people lean into this. #AASLH2020
Goal of panel: to radically re-think what it is museums have to offer communities; how can organizations better support communities. Hoping that audience will feel inspired and empowered to take a risk to make change #AASLH2020
Excited to learn from some amazing women during the first #aaslh2020 panel: #MeToo, and #BlackLivesMatter: Black Women Leaders Overcoming the Double Burden
Only 4% of museum leadership is women of color!! @HistoryGonWrong sharing statistics about the very low number of women of color in museum fields. #AASLH2020
