[The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand @ConversationEDU]

Two reports — from a think tank + @JohnDaley_ — say Australian art and culture hasn't advocated for itself effectively.

We need to try something new, argue @UniversitySA's @justinoconnor13, @Flinders' @tully_barnett + @Griffith_Uni's Julian Meyrick.

Thanks for sharing @clauersen Value is more than numbers. For more on this important topic see @tully_barnett et al book ‘What matters? Talking value in Aust culture’ and Victorian libraries #LibrariesChangeLives campaign

“Culture does not stay still, nor does it upgrade in the way that our computers and washing machines do. Culture in the twenty-first century is not better than culture in the fourteenth century, though it is certainly different.” Dwelling on the final pages of ‘What Matters?’

[Kyla Stephan @kylastephan]

“Many of the most important cultural experiences happen because of long-established institutions simply doing their job well long term...but...institutions are...continually required to spend significant effort demonstrating their immediate benefits.” Page 99 of ‘What Matters?’

[Kyla Stephan @kylastephan]

My love affair with ‘What Matters? Talking Value in Australian Culture’ deepened on page 90. ‘If you add the overuse of managerial terms to basic human fear, you have all the ingredients for a tsunami of bullshit.’ @LabAdelaide

[Tyne Daile Sumner @tynedaile]

@tully_barnett’s excellent slide on value! A core #bigdatahumanities topic.

[LabAdelaide @LabAdelaide]

@kylastephan Glad you like it!

[Kyla Stephan @kylastephan]

She choose to be ‘vaguely right rather than precisely wrong’ is going on my headstone. It’s safe to say that I’m finding a lot to think about, and enjoy, in ‘What matters? Talking value in Australian culture.’ @LabAdelaide

[Kyla Stephan @kylastephan]

I’m in love with ‘What matters?’ Specifically page 21. ‘A transformational childhood experience of reading in a public library speaks powerfully to the value of libraries...statistically indistinguishable from the child who visited...to find the photocopier broken.’ #libraries

@tully_barnett reminds us that evaluation is not neutral and that #dataisnotneutral #museumeval #AMaGA2019

[Big hART @BighART_INC]

When did #culture become a number and why do we have to turn experience into statistics in the #arts ? @ArtsHub #auspol #justsayin https://t.co/aMvsQhkpST
