'Attending' a virtual conference - AAM2011. I have been to AAM many times in the past but as a recent graduate student I have taken a sabbatical from active museum work to pursue more meta thinking about museums.
It's fun to get back to the thinking that great educational institutions that people choose to go to. Museums have lots of catch up to do, partly because they are usually under funded , they have staff who have long tenures and do no necessarily get in front of recent research, and they have so much to do constantly, so change is difficult to embrace on the fly.
Its great to hear from the ones that are keeping up, and interesting to think of how to help them and the ones who are NOT speaking up....
