Getting ready for the panel: Empathy: Silver Bullet or Kryptonite at #AASLH2020. Will collect my tweets from this session here.
Fundamental question - is this a super power or a fundamental weakness of public historians. Welcome to @1Facilitateher @ameliawig @KayleighBinDC @sarahjencks @smanny Can't wait! #AASLH2020
"What role does empathy play within your own organization & professional practice?" #AASLH2020
.@1Facilitateher - we can't just use the words of inclusivity, we need to do the work to build the infrastructure where we can make change. Importance of thinking about the role that whiteness places in our structures #AASLH2020
Here's the article on the screen in this panel right now: medium.com/viewfinder-ref…

#AASLH2020
@ameliawig talking about Developing focus groups to assess current exhibits; testing language by testing them on different groups - asking who are we serving? #AASLH2020
@1Facilitateher - yass! asking whose voices are we privileging in our text, assessing and adjusting the language we use in our exhibits. Assures we remain relevant to our local communities if they see themselves a part of this work. #AASLH2020
.@ameliawig - this is a painful process too as we address racism in museum spaces #AASLH2020
Next up, @KayleighBinDC @sarahjencks talking about @fordstheatre.

Sarah starting by talking about realization that things needs to change. Unique circumstances of Fords with a blend of history people and actors/theater people.
.@sarahjencks - why is this site still here? how can we make it relevant? how do we prepare our staff to have these conversations?
...not just public-facing jobs, but development team, etc. so that everyone is on the same page in promoting equity, relevance, etc. #AASLH2020
.@sarahjencks Want guests to do MORE than just taking a picture of the box and leaving. How can we use this horrific act to try to promote understanding of horrific acts today? What did Lincoln's assassination mean to our country? He was criticized for his empathy #AASLH2020

So true in this moment.

#AASLH2020
Museums cannot be community centers, but they can be at the center of their community. - Felicia Bell referring to recent words by @SmithsonianSec. #AASLH2020

Excited to kick off #AASLH2020 day 2 with another great panel on community engagement!
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
@OEatonMartinez reminds us to get in good trouble, necessary trouble, along with taking time to #saytheirnames. Especially poignant this morning after the #BreonnaTaylor decision last night. #AASLH2020
Only 4% of museum leadership is women of color!! @HistoryGonWrong sharing statistics about the very low number of women of color in museum fields.

I've been working on creating a digital version of the Old Spanish Trail auto highway travel guide from 1929. Some analysis to come soon, but excited to share this product with y'all! Happy for any feedback!

Many thanks to @ajennyh, @hangryhistorian, and @GloryTurnbull for their advice and for enduring me bombarding them with all sorts of excerpts of the travelog from my deep ride. They are excellent colleagues and pals.
Also, thanks to @KWaldenPhD for helping me problem solve a technical piece of this!
