This talk was developed by Nina Simon for the Our Museums convening in June 2014 in partnership with the Paul Hamlyn Foundation. The focus is on mechanisms for scaling up inclusive and participatory practice in museums and cultural institutions.
This session was presented at the 2012 American Association of Museum’s annual meeting by Nina Simon (Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History), Ellen Rosenthal (Conner Prairie), and Eric Siegel (New York Hall of Science). These short presentations were followed by an extensive dialogue about museums, financial models, and budgeting.

An exploration of institutional transformation to make the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History a more community-driven, dynamic, successful organization. Honest successes and challenges along the way.
What does it take to truly transform how an arts organization engages with its community? This is the story of how the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History dramatically increased its attendance, revenue, and public impact through a "revolution" in active participation and social bridging. Presented by Nina Simon at the Theater Communications Group national conference in June 2013.
Nina Simon wants to change museums by making them more open and engaged with their communities. She believes museums should be thriving gathering places where community members are actively involved in co-creating exhibits and content. Nina provides examples of how the Santa Cruz Museum of Art and History engaged community members in helping plan an exhibit, which led to more specific and thoughtful feedback. She also gives examples of other museums that treat content as a social object and have become institutions that truly matter to their communities by being more participatory and open.
Radical Collaboration: Tools for Partnering with Community MembersNina Simon
This document discusses tools and strategies for collaborating with community members, including putting partnership first, being clear about goals and transparent about process, being open to possibilities, recognizing five kinds of partners, and using workshops to identify community needs, assets, potential projects, and collaborators.

The document discusses expressing components of a rotation operator in terms of Euler angles using coordinate transformations. It defines the rotation operator components in terms of intrinsic and extrinsic Euler angles. The operator components can be expressed as derivatives of the extrinsic Euler angles with respect to the intrinsic angles. This allows one to calculate how the components of the rotation operator transform under rotations defined by the Euler angles. It provides equations for calculating the partial derivatives of the operator components with respect to the Euler angles.

This document discusses research on how news is reported and shared on Twitter. It addresses two main topics:
1. News values on #Egypt - A frequency analysis of 1.5 million tweets found that established news values like recency and relevance guided Twitter use. Events were instantly turned into stories through affective storytelling practices.
2. Form of news on Twitter - News, facts, drama, opinions and emotions blended together into "affective news". Collaborative news feeds exposed tensions between live tweeting and traditional reporting. Affect and storytelling, as well as affect and mobilization, shaped information dissemination.

affective news streams and networked publics: mediality and engagement on #egyptZizi Papacharissi
The document discusses how news values and storytelling took place on Twitter during the 2011 Egyptian uprising. It finds that:
1) Established news values like immediacy and relevance guided Twitter use, but new values like ambient news environments and collective production also emerged.
2) News storytelling on Twitter combined oral and print traditions, with a rhythmic and affective style where facts, drama, and emotions blended together instantly.
3) The form of news on Twitter challenges traditional distinctions between media and audiences, as collaborative and leaderless networks collectively framed the events in real-time.
This document summarizes a meeting about creating an exhibition called "Lost Childhoods" that ignites community action around foster youth. It outlines the project timeline and defines the key elements of stories, objects, art, design, programs and labels.

A presentation for staff and friends at the Wild Center in Tupper Lake on the complexities of building relationships between humans and institutions. First shared by Nina Simon of Museum 2.0 on 15 March, 2011
This document discusses three ideas for supporting social interaction with multitouch tables. First, social interaction should not be assumed to happen spontaneously but must be intentionally designed for. Second, designs should maximize flexibility so groups are not disrupted. Third and most importantly, if promoting social interaction is a goal, it must be a core part of the design rather than an optional feature.
A project to engage users as participants only works if people are sufficiently motivated to show up and get involved. This presentation covers three aspects of motivating participants: addressing their core desires, inviting them clearly, and responding to/celebrating their work. Presented by Nina Simon of Museum 2.0 for a MIDEA webinar on December 7, 2010.
Three Things I've Learned about Design for ParticipationNina Simon
This document discusses Nina Simon's views on participatory museum design based on her experiences. It shares three lessons she learned: 1) More scaffolding and constraints lead to better participation. For example, providing specific prompts for posters at Denver Art Museum increased engagement. 2) Different prompts and input mechanisms elicit different contributions from users. 3) Responsiveness is the most important factor, as feedback encourages continued participation. The document asks how users can help improve various projects and institutions.
This document discusses ways for museums to engage visitors, participants, and staff. It provides examples of techniques used by different museums, including showcasing visitor photos, hosting workshops for participants, and highlighting staff members. The document emphasizes that museums should choose engagement techniques aligned with their mission, such as inspiring learning, advancing knowledge, and strengthening communities.

33. I'm closer to the stodgy traditional museum
supporter than to the audiences you are
currently trying to reach, but I strongly support
your outreach and attempts to involve new
communities. It is precisely because of that
outreach that I finally became a museum
member last year. There was no reason to do
so before, since the museum was doing
nothing. I still have little occasion to go to the
museum, but I'm willing to support it as an
important community resource.
64. The average scientist, so far as I can make out,
spends almost all his time working on problems which
he believes will not be important and he also doesn't
believe that they will lead to important problems.
