MAAM 2024 Annual Meeting has ended
Thursday October 10, 2024 9:45am - 11:00am PDT
As museums in 2024 continue to establish their diversity, equity, accessibility, and inclusion priorities, some find the work to be frustrating, arduous, or stressful. It can also be difficult to find consensus among staff about how to proceed in the most effective way.

This session will outline some common challenges across museums facing barriers to their success, drawing from experience and using case studies from my recently published textbooks on DEAI in museums. Most importantly as the session title states, we will explore how to use humor, celebrations, events, and positive interactions to further our anti-oppression museum goals.

Additionally, we will play some educational card games from the recently introduced museum DEAI Kit THE WORK, which contains scenario prompts, conversation starters, and team builders to help ease colleagues into difficult but necessary conversations.
