A Social Media Story storified by Conductor_X
Storify of tweets from the final session (#s69) of #NCPH2016, dealing with the challenge of Confederate monuments for public historians. These reflect both the comments of the panelists and the views of the audience. The Twitter backchannel was (as you can see) very active, and often at odds with the panel itself.Â

What is this? An open, engaged research project begun at the 2016 National Council on Public History conference that is still in its formative stages. One product of our work will be a digital-first publication. As collaborators and scholars working in and with museums, our goal is to bring historical and interdisciplinary perspectives to bear on museumsâ work in the areas of civic discourse. How do we define âcivic discourseâ?  Why is this project necessary? And, why do we hope youâll join us and others in thinking, talking and writing about these issues? Read on for details  http://bit.ly/1SOhSdV Â

This Google doc distills the notes captured during the Museums & Civic Discourse working group at NCPH 2016. Were you there? Please feel free to add comments to help us fill in any points we missed during this fast-paced gathering and discussion. Not at NCPH? No problem. Weâre eager to hear your thoughts and comments, too.
The question of how museums can support constructive community discussion and action on pressing, often divisive, social issues is receiving intensified attentâŠ
This presentation sets out the format and questions that guided our NCPH Working Group. In addition to the named collaborators, a roomful of NCPH colleagues who came to observe the session also participated in small group discussions. They contributed their ideas on index cards, which are being posted to this blog. Â

This colleagueâs contribution echoes the Museum & Civic Discourse Projectâs insistence that to engage social inequalities we must also engage the institutional inequities that limit museumsâ ability to serve as credible partners to diverse constituencies.Â
We asked colleagues attending our session to help us think about gaps in our current thinking---and historical knowledge--- about museumsâ roles in civic discourse. The need to bring intersectional theory and research approaches to bear on this area of study and practice emerged as a major theme. Â Â Â
Session attendee raises questions in response to conversations about internal barriers to museumsâ civic discourse work. Â
The concerns expressed above put me in mind of the 2015 New England Museum Association session â#MuseumsrespondtoFerguson: Bringing Race Into the Foreground,â co-led by our Museums and Civic Discourse project collaborator Aleia Brown and the always thoughtful Linda Norris. The points they raise in their reflections on the session remind us that change is inherently discomforting and risky: http://uncatalogedmuseum.blogspot.com/2015/12/what-would-you-do.html
