This week we're in Washington, D.C. at the American Alliance of Museums 2016 Annual Meeting. We love getting together with other museum professionals from around the country to discuss the opportunities, challenges and responsibilities we all have in common. Museums are vital community assets! #AAM2016

Where to find us at #AAM2016

the Museums & Civic Discourse Project

invites you to participate in an open meeting & discussion

 Sunday, May 29, 2016  10:30 a.m. – noon

Walter E. Washington Convention Center

Level 2, East Overlook

What is this? An open, engaged research project begun at the 2016 National Council on Public History conference that is still in its formative stages. One product of our work will be a digital-first publication. As collaborators and scholars working in and with museums, our goal is to bring historical and interdisciplinary perspectives to bear on museums’ work in the areas of civic discourse. How do we define “civic discourse”?  Why is this project necessary? And, why do we hope you’ll join us and others in thinking, talking and writing about these issues? Read on for details  http://bit.ly/1SOhSdV
