- 6. What is the role and responsibility of the museum in reflecting and responding to issues affecting our communities locally and globally? MASS Action Museum as Site for Social Action How do museums’ internal practices need to change in order to align with, and better inform, their public practice? What would it look like if museums were radically transformed from the inside out – and are they capable of such change?
- 7. MASS Action Year 1 50 practitioners convened in 2016 to discuss most urgent topics of equity and justice within the museum field and work collaboratively to aggregate resources and develop a toolkit. Year 2 Staff teams from museums who intend to use the toolkit and are committed to embedding strategies of inclusion into their institutions gather for 2017 Convening. Year 3 Participating museums will build on strategies to create more inclusive practices in their own institutions and the field at large. Participants meet to share project learning at 2018 Convening.

- 17. Convening October 11-13, 2017 Museum practitioners from around the country are invited to come together to discuss how we can build our capacity to create more equity in our institutions, and to respond to issues affecting our global and local communities. For this work to take root and be effective, it is important that it be embedded across the institution in every department, and at all levels of staff. It must also move beyond discussion towards an actionable practice. We are therefore suggesting the following criteria to maximize your time at the 2017 convening: 1. Send a cross-departmental team of two (or more) staff, with at least one of the team members representing your museum's senior leadership. 2. Come with a specific project or challenge in mind (related to inclusion, equity, etc.) as well as topic(s) you are interested in exploring further.
