SUMMARY:"History Compels Us to be Daring": Sites of Conscience in Action Around the World
DESCRIPTION:The International Coalition of Sites of Conscience was founded in 1999 with the radical idea that historic sites had an obligation to draw a connection between the history of their sites and their contemporary implications. Today\, we are more than 200 museums\, historic sites\, parks\, memory projects\, archives\, documentation centers\, and memorials around the world.  Whether remembering an era centuries or decades ago\, Sites of Conscience begin by facing all aspects of our history: stories of great cruelty\, great courage\, or everyday life. But we go a step further\, activating the historical perspective with public dialogue on related issues we face today and what we can do about them. I will explore what it means to be a Site of Conscience in practice today\, sharing a few of the ways that Sites of Conscience pick up the unfinished work of societies\, serve as safe spaces to tell multiple stories in contentious environments\, and provide a platform for individuals to share their stories. \nJulieta Cuéllar is the Global Networks Program Manager at the International Coalition of Sites of Conscience where she supports global exchange and learning as well as the development and implementation of global programs for the Coalition’s members around the world.  Julieta is a graduate of the University of Texas at Austin\, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in political science and Eastern European studies.  She also attended the Institut d’études politiques de Paris and the School of International Training.  Julieta’s studies and research have focused on the politics of memory in Serbia and the Balkans.

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:Building Collections\, Building Knowledge\, Building Publics: Diversity at the Huntington
DESCRIPTION:Founded in 1919\, the Huntington Library\, Art Collections\, and Botanical Gardens originated with the collections of Henry and Arabella Huntington. As of 2014\, nearly three-quarters of a million people visit the grounds and buildings annually. In recent years\, the Huntington has become more intentional about reaching a broader audience and expanding its collections in directions that reflect the diversity of southern California. But what does it mean for an institution originally formed to preserve the home and possessions of a wealthy\, Europhilic white couple–an institution that is\, in fact\, still located in one of the most exclusive neighborhoods in California–to embrace diversity\, inclusion\, and relevance? This presentation will discuss the Huntington’s past initiatives\, potential approaches\, and continued challenges in pursuing these goals. \nBrownBag_Tsay
