Art museum educator. Can be spotted eating ice cream and crying in front of Rothko paintings. But not at the same time. Views my own.

Looking forward to spreading the museum love tomorrow with my fellow Washington museum advocates with @SenatorCantwell @PattyMurray and @RepDerekKilmer #MuseumsAdvocacy2021

@prairietrawler @ChevalierJuline @Jennifer_Foley @edgerington @TracyTruels In the before times, we were doing a lot of thinking about how to support our BIPOC and LGBTQ+ educators in handling micro-aggressions and offensive comments from participants. Also, building habits of reflective practice has been so important for me as an educator.

We're rethinking our exhibition selection/development process. Anyone have good examples of how they're meaningfully engaging staff from a range of depts. and levels and community members in this process? #MuseumEd

@EveryHrCounts @PrimeTimePBC Thanks! Looking forward to it.

@Art_Curators @BlackMuseums Hi @Art_Curators, I'm trying to register for this webinar, but I'm getting a "403 Forbidden" error message when I try to access your website. Thanks for your help.

@alexainbrooklyn @TheArtRopeik I'd love to see that language if you wouldn't mind sharing.

@ArrynDavis Primarily racial and gender-based, but looking for broad strategies, too. We’re feeling stuck on how to balance the emotional labor required to call out with whether it’s actually worth it with someone that our educators don’t have a meaningful relationship with.

Anyone have suggestions for how staff/volunteers can deal with microaggressions from adults on school field trips? #museumed

Museum parties aren’t complete without inspiring screen printing activities. #MASSActionMia

@magmidd @gretchjenn @theresemquinn & Annie Anderson, thanks for the opportunity to reflect together about Social Justice Exhibitions. It was lovely to share about @TacomaArtMuseum’s exhibition and to get some new ideas on how to do better. #MASSActionMia

Still thinking about data from today’s “Measuring Change” breakout. How can we use staff climate surveys to learn how to strategically deploy limited DEIA resources? And how can all assessments be conducted equitably? Thanks, @marjoriebb and team! #MASSActionMia

@colacarp @artstuffmatters I was rocking mine today, too! I think I spotted you from afar.

[Christina @CWestpheling]

@bartowmelia would love to connect with you about “change leadership.” I spotted your green response. #massactionmia

[Christina @CWestpheling]

Dusting off the old Twitter account in preparation for #massactionmia. Looking forward to some serious reflecting, dreaming, and planning this week.
