Nurturing Engagement
The document discusses how the Dallas Museum of Art is changing its approach to promote more participation and engagement from community members. It notes that while the metro Dallas area has over 6.5 million residents, the museum only attracts around 500,000 annual visitors. To address this, the museum has implemented a "badges" program to encourage new forms of visitor participation and engagement through activities. It also listens to social media to understand online engagement and use that as a mirror to the community. The goal is for the museum to become a more integral civic platform for the community.
Feel Good History
The document summarizes a debate between Mary Lefkowitz and Martin Bernal over Afrocentrism. Afrocentrism argues that traditional history undervalues Black Africa's contributions to ancient Greek and Western thought. Lefkowitz believes Afrocentrism promotes "feel good history" while Bernal argues it is important for correcting past wrongs and addressing racism in modern society. The debate attracted over 500 people and addressed issues of identity, culture, and whose version of history society deems right and just. Both scholars agreed the interaction of cultures can be fruitful but disagreed on whether rewriting history is necessary.

The American Red Cross began with meetings organized by Clara Barton and her contacts. Over time, the Red Cross expanded its supporter engagement through posters, newsletters, email, social media, and text giving. As new technologies like mobile TV and internet-enabled smartphones emerge, the Red Cross will likely continue adapting how it communicates with supporters to encourage donations and volunteerism.
The Mythical Millenial in Museums - Susan Evans McClure, Director, Smithsonia...
The document discusses millennials and how museums engage with them. It notes that in 2015 there were 83 million millennials in the US, 44% of which were minority racial or ethnic groups. By 2017, millennials were projected to spend $200 billion annually. Some common stereotypes about millennials are debunked, such as that they only like parties or want drinks. Comments from a millennial event praise the interactivity of a science class and panel discussion, along with complimenting the beer.

This document provides an overview of the book "Women Ethnographers and Native Women Storytellers" by Susan Berry Brill de Ramírez. The book focuses on the collaborative work between female ethnographers and Native American women storytellers. It argues that the intersubjective relationships between these women produced more accurate and culturally authentic autobiographies compared to male ethnographers who took a more objective scientific approach. The book provides an analysis of works from ethnographers like Franc Johnson Newcomb and Native storytellers like Grandma Klah to show how respect and collaboration led to greater informational accuracy in their accounts.

This document discusses the importance of verifying facts from reliable sources when conducting historical research. It outlines the difference between primary and secondary sources. Primary sources include original documents, artifacts, and first-hand accounts from the time being studied. Secondary sources interpret and analyze primary sources and include books, newspapers, websites, and other modern publications. The document stresses the need to always doubt the source and get information from reliable primary sources where possible to establish accurate facts.

Vicki Callahan C&W 2012
Presentation for Computers and Writing, 2012 for the panel: Hacking the Academy. Here I examine the notion of "Hacking Narratives" through the collaborative storytelling project. A number of narratives are hacked from historical to authorial with displacement of time and authority producing new possibilities.
Vicki Callahan: Hacking the Classroom
This document discusses collaborative storytelling and how it can challenge traditional narratives by blurring fictional and non-fictional worlds. It explores how counter narratives and alternative voices through techniques like ethno-fiction, ethno-performatives, serious play, remixing and social media can provide alternative perspectives on history and give voice to those who have been marginalized. The document also mentions courses on these topics taught by Vicki Callahan at the USC Institute for Multimedia Literacy.
The Yale Historical Review Fall 2020 Issue
This document summarizes and critiques various theories about the identity and origins of the ancient Sherden people. The author argues that the Sherden likely emerged from northern Egypt's Delta region, rather than being foreign invaders or part of a larger Sea Peoples confederation as commonly believed. The paper reviews the evidence used to link the Sherden to places like Sardinia, the Aegean, and Syria. It aims to determine whether the Sherden had a distinct cultural identity or if their name was simply a label applied by Egyptians. Revealing the Sherden's identity could provide broader context about interconnectedness and interactions in the ancient Mediterranean world during the Late Bronze Age collapse.
New Women’s History Program at the Library Company of Philadelphia
The Library Company of Philadelphia is launching a new Women's History Program on April 9, 2014 to raise awareness of women's impact on American culture throughout history.

An anonymous donor funded the new program.
American museum of_women
The Congressional Commission will present a report to Congress in November 2016 addressing whether a museum dedicated to women's history is needed in America, what its content might be, where it could be located, and how it could be financed. The report will incorporate input from leading women's history authorities and museum professionals. A National Women's History Museum could help fill the void of women's contributions being overlooked in mainstream culture by showcasing women's history alongside other historical exhibitions, rather than rewriting current exhibits or omitting content elsewhere. The objective is to promote scholarship and expand knowledge of American history.

Aprons release final
The National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame will display the traveling exhibit "Apron Chronicles: A Patchwork of American Recollections" from January 7th to April 3rd. The exhibit tells the stories of over three dozen men and women through photographs and their recollections of the women in their lives who wore aprons. It explores the people behind the aprons and their meaning through over 100 vintage aprons. Additionally, select restaurants have donated autographed aprons that will be raffled off to raise funds for the museum's education programs.
Holocaust museum politicized
Scholars push back on the Holocaust Museum's rejection of historical analogies to the Holocaust. Nearly 600 scholars signed an open letter asking the museum to retract its statement condemning all analogies to the Holocaust. The scholars argue that the museum's position is ahistorical and undermines Holocaust education, which relies on drawing connections across time. They believe the museum should allow for thoughtful historical analysis and comparison, which is standard in academic research on genocide.

This document summarizes Jonathan Dresner's work on transnational immigrant patterns and the relationship between diaspora, modernity, and nationalism. It discusses how chain and return migration lead to concentration in sending and receiving areas. Immigrant communities invest in their home countries through remittances and local institutions. Assimilation occurs across generations as ethnic nationalism develops. Modern infrastructure like travel, communication, and media help maintain connections across borders while invented traditions form new identities. Migration must be understood in the context of modernity and the systems that structure the globalized world.

This document discusses the relationship between universities and cultural festivals. It notes that universities are increasingly partnering with festivals as part of their public engagement and knowledge exchange agendas. However, universities are also facing budget pressures that make them more exclusive and corporate. The document considers different perspectives on what festivals represent, from temporary spaces of freedom to opportunities for resistance or commercial recuperation. It raises questions about the role of universities in festivals and how collaborations might enable public cultural programming or risk being co-opted by market forces.
Museums are Places that are Quietly Subversive
Has your museum ever tried to engage audiences in controversial topics, moderate discussions about social movements, or introduce inclusive practices only to be stymied by your board or director? Does it feel impossible for your museum to be an advocate for social justice issues? This session is informed by the growing movement of museums and museum professionals working to dispel the myth of institutional neutrality or nonpartisanship, the reality of museum professionals who can’t overtly address controversial topics, and a belief that “museums are places that are quietly subversive.”
Open Monuments Project at GLAM Wiki Conference 2015
How GLAM WIKI could be helpful or inspirational for social projects or change is more commons questions than what is there still missed. In order to reconsider idea for GLAM WIKI and make some improvements we would like to take a closer look at situations where and how GLAM WIKI has some limitations. When it could not be a good solution and why?
Why didn’t we decided to base our project on Wikipedia? How are the other examples of such projects? Is it only the example of monuments? What should be done in order to make Wikipedia more universal way of opening GLAM?

Music scoring on Wikipedia
Children's songs are universal. They are part of our cultural heritage. As you might know, there are a melodies that are sung in different languages. Sometimes with the same meaning, but sometimes they have total different lyrics and meaning. They illustrate how we are globally connected to each other. In a time where copyright dominates the music industry, we think it is important that the knowledge about songs like these is accessible. Not only the lyrics and their meaning, but also what they sound like. The wikis are a great place to collect this knowledge, just like the way these songs are taught to children around the world.
This presentation was used for a music scoring workshop. This workshop was an assignment for the Training for Trainers program at Wikimedia UK in August 2014.

Improving the troubled relationship between Scientists and Wikipedia
This document discusses improving the relationship between scientists and Wikipedia. It notes that Wikipedia often lacks basic biographical information about notable scientists. A Wikipedian in Residence program was established at the Royal Society to address this issue through edit-a-thons and releasing portraits and data under open licenses. This led to improved coverage of Fellows of the Royal Society on Wikipedia. The document advocates for expanding such programs to other scientific organizations to increase representation of scientists on Wikipedia.

Closing the Gender Gap on Wikimedia
The document summarizes efforts to close the gender gap on Wikipedia by increasing representation of women as editors and subjects of articles. It discusses initiatives like Art+Feminism edit-a-thons held globally in partnership with cultural institutions to generate content about women and encourage more female editors. It also describes programs run by Wikimedia UK, the national charity, including events with libraries, museums, and universities in the UK to recruit editors and improve coverage of topics related to women's history and contributions. The goal is for Wikipedia to better reflect society by addressing systemic bias and a lack of diversity among its editors.
Creating history in the digital age
A crowd-sourced history project shows us how 'ordinary' stories are just as fascinating as the famous ones - and everyone can join in.
Sept. 19 Comment front
A 2014 study by Safa Motesharrei found that unequal wealth distribution and unsustainable resource exploitation could lead to the collapse of global civilization. The study developed a model showing that the rise and fall of civilizations has occurred throughout history. Two key factors that contributed to past collapses were stretching resources due to strain on ecological carrying capacity and economic stratification between elites and masses. If left unaddressed, issues like resource depletion and income disparity today also threaten global civilization. However, the study notes collapse may be avoided if elites acknowledge these problems and help restore balance with nature through sharing wealth.

Madeline Ocampo Portfolio
Madeline Ocampo's graphic design portfolio from 2015 includes a poster she designed that won a national art contest. The poster visually depicts plagiarism by showing a paper in the middle made up of pieces stolen from uniquely colored original papers surrounding it. In her description, Ocampo explains that the poster aims to communicate that plagiarism means stealing others' original work and passing it off as your own. She believes being original is part of being a responsible creator and that plagiarizing degrades both the plagiarizer and the person whose work was stolen.

The Watermelon Woman
We've seen that queer aesthetics are the materials, methods, techniques, and effects that support queer
poesis – queer self making and queer social making.
What techniques do the films Watermelon Woman and Nitrate Kisses use in order to dramatize queer
poesis, and to what ends?
1. Intermediality: relations between media as meaningful as content within medium.
2. montage: construction requires active viewers putting together the pieces.
3. Self-naming: “I am a Black, lesbian filmmaker.” Hammer's reflection in mirror.
4. embodied performance: performing as “Cheryl” in front of camera; musical
performances included in the film.
5. creation of “historical material” (mockumentary AND mock-autobiography)
6. use of mu ...

A presentation from Prof Gina Wisker (University of Brighton). Presented as part of the CWWSkills programme (AHRC collaborative skills development). Liverpool, January 2014cyberfeminism
This document discusses the history and concepts of cyberfeminism. It began in the early 1990s as a movement focused on women's empowerment through technology. Early proponents like Sadie Plant and VNS Matrix argued that women are naturally suited to computers and the internet in the same way they are suited to making connections. The document outlines some of the origins and goals of cyberfeminism, as well as examples of contemporary digital feminist activism in India including hashtags like #MeToo, #WhyLoiter, and campaigns against acid attacks and menstrual taxes. It concludes that cyberfeminism must work to avoid universalizing all women's experiences and should strive for more diversity and inclusion of marginalized groups online.
Thoughts on the Internet's Founding Myths
The document discusses two perceived myths about the internet: 1) That the implicit wisdom of online crowds guarantees the emergence of truth, and 2) That greater access to information online equates to progress. It argues that most internet users lack expertise, and the low barriers to publishing online allow misinformation to spread widely. While vast amounts of information are available, many users are "cultural savages" unable to make good use of it or distinguish fact from fiction. This relativism risks ushering in a new "Dark Age" of declining education and the dominance of irrationality over reason.

Language, Discourse, and Power in African American Culture
This document discusses the origins and significance of African American English (AAE) within the context of the African American speech community. It begins by recounting a personal experience the author had while driving through Mississippi that highlighted the dangers black people faced in the past. The author notes that for many northern African Americans, the South represents a cultural homeland, and stories from elders about the past often referenced both Africa and the American South. The development of AAE is tied to the first encounters between Africans and Europeans during the slave trade and plantation slavery, which was a violent contact situation that transformed African American culture and spurred the development of a distinct language variety. Analyzing the origins and history of AAE is important for contesting oppressive
Thoughts on the Internet's Founding Myths
The document discusses two perceived myths about the internet: 1) That the implicit wisdom of online crowds guarantees the emergence of truth, and 2) That increased access to information online constitutes progress. However, the author argues that most internet users lack expertise in many topics and are unable to properly evaluate information. Consequently, falsities and poor quality content are widespread online. While isolated high-quality communities exist, they are overwhelmed by a "tsunami" of low-quality user-generated content. The author believes increased access online has not led to greater understanding and that anti-intellectualism has spread as people rely more on entertainment and reject expertise.

While some high-quality academic discussions exist, they are small compared to the large amount of false or low-quality user-generated content. Increased access to information does not guarantee people will make good use of it or understand what they find. This has led to a decline in education and critical thinking skills.

- 1. Weinvitepeopleofall genderidentitiesexpressions transgendercisgender andgendernonconforming women Wikimedia Foundation found that less than 10% of its contributors identify as female. While the reasons for the gender gap are up for debate, the practical effect of this disparity is not. Content is skewed by the lack of female participation. This represents an alarming absence in an increasingly important repository of shared knowledge. Librarians will provide training and reference sources to assist contributors in adding and improving the Wikipedia entries for women in history. Please bring your own laptops or check one out on the Library first floor. Light refreshments will be provided. In partnership with the Cross Cultural Gender Center. Free event. Open to the public.
