SUMMARY:Tactics for the Anthropocene: Not an Alternative
DESCRIPTION:Location:  Michigan Theater (603 E. Liberty Street in downtown Ann Arbor) \nNot An Alternative is a NY-based collective that works at the intersection of art\, activism\, and critical theory. Its mission is to affect popular understandings of histories\, symbols\, and institutions through the occupation and redeployment of popular vernacular\, semiotics\, and memes. Named in The New York Times and ArtNet’s “Best in Art in 2015” round-ups\, the group’s work has been widely exhibited nationally and internationally. Their latest project\, The Natural History Museum\, is a mobile and pop-up museum that highlights the socio-political forces that shape nature\, yet are excluded from traditional natural history museums. \nPresenting for the group\, co-founder Beka Economopoulos is the VP at Fission Strategy\, a consultancy specializing in new media communications. She is also a senior trainer and Advisory Board member at the New Organizing Institute. \nSupported by the University of Michigan Museum of Natural Historyand the University of Michigan Museum Studies Program.

SUMMARY:Taking a Look in the Mirror: Transformative Change within Museums
DESCRIPTION:Location:  University of Michigan Museum of Art\, Helmut Stern Auditorium \nMuseums do not exist in a vacuum. The external environment around museums is in a state of constant change. Yet\, it seems as though museums continue to approach diversity and inclusion work through community outreach and programs. It is time for museums to transform. We must look internally at organizational culture and traditional work practices in order to spark transformative change across the field. This talk focuses on concepts and practices to shift work culture to help museums evolve into inclusive institutions. \nChris Taylor blends passion for history\, diversity\, and inclusion work in his job as the Chief Inclusion Officer at the Minnesota Historical Society (MNHS). As part of the Executive Leadership Team of the organization\, he is responsible for creating and implementing a strategic vision to create an inclusive work culture and help staff develop inclusive work practices. In addition\, he works to build healthy\, sustainable relationships with the many diverse communities of Minnesota. \nChris Taylor lecture anouncement

SUMMARY:2016 Museum Studies Visiting Scholar presentation: The Challenges of Pursing Intentionality
DESCRIPTION:The Cycle of Intentional Practice requires that museums clarify the impact they would like to achieve on their publics and realign all practices and resources to achieve that impact.  Clarifying impact\, though\, requires a knowledge of the museum’s organizational self and the public.  Given that most museum work is mission driven\, achieving impact may require that a museum shift how it thinks about and does its work so energies and attention are towards achieving intended results among audiences.  Achieving impact necessitates purposeful and intentional actions\, including: \n\nClarifying impact and identifying supporting measurable outcomes\,\nAligning resources (e.g.\, staff and dollars) to support achieving impact\,\nStudying results among audiences through research and evaluation\, and\nReflecting on one’s practice and evidence from visitor studies with the goal of organizational learning and improving practice.\n\nMuseums that are intentional promote inclusivity and internal and external collaboration; they value only doing work that will achieve intended results\, study the effect of the museum on people’s lives\, and are passionate about continuous professional and organizational learning. \nRandi Korn is the founding director of Randi Korn & Associates\, an organization with specialized knowledge and expertise to assist professionals in cultural organizations and the cultural sector at large.  Randi founded RK&A in 1989 after working in a variety of cultural organizations including art\, history\, science\, botanical gardens\, and natural history museums.  She has held positions such as executive director\, exhibit designer\, interpretive planner\, and evaluator. With a passion for learning and desire to strengthen the relationship between cultural organizations and people\, Randi is dedicated to using evaluation as a learning tool to improve personal and organizational practice.  Over the last several years\, she has focused on creating new services to help museums and other cultural organizations excel so they can achieve impact for the public good.  RK&A maintains a commitment to helping cultural organizations\, and museums in particular\, become more intentional and purposeful in their planning and daily work.  Ultimately the firm strives to use impact-driven planning and rigorous evaluation to help cultural organizations demonstrate\, with evidence\, the ways in which they contribute to the public good and make a difference in people’s lives and communities. \nKorn lecture announcement

SUMMARY:Crisistunity: Re-imagining Historic Sites at the National Trust
DESCRIPTION:Global Heritage at Risk\nUniversity of Michigan Museum Studies Program\nFall 2015 Lecture Series\nSpeaker: Katherine Malone-France\, Vice President for Historic Sites\, National Trust for Historic Preservation \nTerrorism. Looting. Financial crisis. Political factionalism. Unregulated development. Neglect. \nThe news is full of ongoing threats to heritage sites and museums around the globe. In this series\, speakers representing diverse countries examine contemporary threats to museums\, collections\, and historic sites in the Middle East\, Greece\, India\, and the United States. Series speakers will document the many factors fueling the ongoing loss of objects\, monuments\, and historical places and will explore why heritage destruction in distant regions should matter to those of us thousands of miles removed from the most horrific ongoing threats. We also focus closer to home to consider the challenges to heritage preservation in our own backyard. \nBut this is not solely an exercise in despair\, as speakers also examine the ways that international organizations\, national and local governments\, NGOs\, communities\, and individuals are responding to the challenges facing countless museums and heritage sites. The results are new ways of defining the meaning and significance of heritage for local communities\, new strategies for heritage documentation and care\, and new opportunities for us all to become engaged in caring for our own and our world’s irreplaceable cultural heritage. \nThis event will be held in the U-M Museum of Art\, Helmut Stern Auditorium at 6:30 pm. \nKatherine Malone-France is the Vice President for Historic Sites at the National Trust for Historic Preservation\, leading its portfolio of 27 historic sites around the country to provide expansive and sustainable public benefit as they model exemplary preservation\, collections management\, and interpretation.  Prior to her appointment\, she served as the Senior Director of Outreach\, Education and Support at the National Trust.  Her leadership has also included a diverse range of collaborations with contemporary artists creating new works at National Trust Historic Sites and a revision of the National Trust’s collections management policy that has been hailed as a national model for its inclusion of historic structures by the American Alliance of Museums and the American Association for State and Local History.   Katherine also served as the Executive Director of the Burwell School Historic Site in Hillsborough\, North Carolina\, and the Assistant Director at the Decatur House\, a National Trust Historic Site and National Historic Landmark in Washington\, DC.

SUMMARY:The "Calculated Frightfulness" of ISIS: Threats to Middle Eastern Cultural Heritage in Historical Perspective - Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:The so-called “Islamic State” (also known as ISIS\, ISIL\, or Daesh) proclaimed itself a caliphate in June 2014. Like any new state whose continued existence may be in doubt\, this group has advanced its ideology through varied relationships to tangible material heritage. This talk will contextualize the horrifying destruction of monuments and looting of sites and museums within regional histories of “calculated frightfulness” (as one historian characterized a strategy of the ancient Assyrian empire)\, iconoclasm\, and other episodes of looting. It will also examine western responses to these actions\, from government silence\, to mobilization of archaeologists\, and uneven media coverage. \nPresented by Geoff Emberling – Kelsey Museum/Near Eastern Studies \nPanelists:\nGottfried Hagen – Near Eastern Studies\nPiotr Michalowski – Near Eastern Studies\nCarla Sinopoli – Museum Studies/Anthropology \nEmberling NES Lecture Series
