Here is the gist of my remarks: Community Engagement is one of those terms that is tossed around in museums but can become encrusted with coded meaning. Often museums use the word community engagement to mean bringing in low-income people, with “community” being a coded term for underprivileged people. They might be underserved or not.

Everyone always says that the best part of conferences happens outside the sessions, in the hallway conversations and one-on-one meetings that aren''t on the official schedule. It''s also incredibly frustrating when you are new to a field, at a huge conference, or if you are not a born networker. This may be true. That''s it.

It isn’t unlike what a museum curator does to produce an exhibition: They identify the theme, they provide the context, they decide which paintings to hang on the wall, how they should be annotated, and how they should be displayed for the public.
