Hi history friends sharing "woman who joined the army as a man" stories, please consider trans possibility:
1. Use gender inclusive language + "they" pronouns
2. Don't call their gender presentation a "disguise" or imply trickery
3. Explicitly posit the person may have been trans

One of the goals of our new online MA in Museum Studies is to help diversify the museum workforce and address the needs of all museum visitors. ow.ly/D9cJ50ubqQb @visitorsofcolor @2brwngirls @AAM_LGBTQ @BlackMuseums @DisabilityHistr @LatinoNetAAM @HSAmuseum @elmuseo

I’ve been getting more involved in equity work at my museum and I have some thoughts I need to work through. I’m going to work through them here. Please question/challenge me on anything while I think out loud! /1

Check out this @visitorsofcolor conversation with FTP alumni Ona Wang! Ona discusses Chicago's underground pedway display of of stained glass windows, and how inaccessible they are in a multitude of ways. Read on! buff.ly/2RF7YPf

This is a great example of staying open to being challenged and letting audiences lead their own representation. Visitors should always be able to speak up if they are uncomfortable and feel listened and responded to.

Brilliant. Text is a diversity and access issue. Words are ramps.

Last week I live tweeted the 4-day riot that occurred in my hometown DC in 1968 after the murder of MLK. Here is the storify version for those who would like to see the event in it's entirety (actually a new site called Sutori since Storify is leaving us)

This Wednesday 7:00pm - the 50th anniversary of MLK Jr's death- I'll begin to live tweet the 4-day historical unfolding of the 1968 DC Riots. Retracing how it happened, unearthing conflicting viewpoints. Join me at #DCRaceRiot68 and spread the word! @DCHistory @NMAAHC @GhostsofDC

We ended with @PorchiaMuseM's interview for the @museum_go podcast, in which she describes the Visitors of Color Tumblr (incubated with @nikhiltri at a @MuseumCN conference) as a "counternarrative project" museumarchipelago.com/podcas…
ALT Until the idea of bodies of color goes beyond pawns of representation to attract a larger audience and actually begins to be included in the decision making and curation process the museum will never be a safe or welcoming space.
