It has some of the same feel as the disconnected affection of people wishing you a happy birthday on Facebook, with professional reflection baked in. Participatory work can be very labor-intensive. I can''t harbor secret hopes that everyone will like it or that I can change their minds with goodwill. They are still problems.

In particular, we had a great group of 15 talking about participatory history experiences on Sunday. While the content of any one meeting wasn't mind-blowing, the fact that we're now sufficiently technology-mediated that these kinds of informal, spontaneous events can happen is really exciting.

The book of the same title that he edited is rocking my world, both as a museum professional who cares about inclusion and as a new mother. We often invite visitors to collaborate on activities comparable to making a music video--but we could be more mindful and strategic about the themes and content of these activities.

It was even more useful to learn how participatory writing visions can be. You'll warm up your hand and get yourself in a positive frame of mind. We learned how to write visions, how to use them, and how to share them with others. For me, writing a vision was empowering, exciting, and useful. If you get stuck, write nonsense words.

It helps to keep the project fresh in people’s minds and gets people chatting about what people have done to deserve their badge. If you're doing something special and participatory, for goodness sakes, let me know. So the badge, in my view, is about identifying other ‘revolutionaries’ – it’s a talking point.

In some ways, a design lab can be thought of as “participatory research and testing.”. A series of dinner parties would create space to bridge the personal and professional, build new relationships, and have conversations that we can’t have in other settings.

I was fascinated by our discussion, and Bob came to mind last month, when I was asked to write an article for the Association of Children's Museums quarterly journal, Hand to Hand , about children's museums and Web 2.0. Bob argues that giving kids laptops enables more participatory, engaged learning. Why the uniformity?

My goal was to find an incredible professional to work for in an institution that was small enough that I could actually make a contribution. Now, as a freelancer, my work combines long-term, creatively challenging participatory exhibit projects with lots of little workshops and brainstorming sessions with institutions around the world.

With that in mind, I turned the question of “who is a museum” to the people, here and on my social platforms, even my personal ones. Her answer is what many a museum professional would want people to say. A 24/7 resource always top of mind.” I’ve worked with and at plenty of museums that can sometimes feel empty.

Gladwell’s assertion that social movements are based on tight ties and online efforts on, say, Facebook, are participatory efforts based on loose ties is simply not true.

And while I'll visit museums out of professional (and occasionally personal) interest, I don't do it because of a deep emotional connection. I didn't have a clue about the other rationales for museums--places of stored knowledge, places to keep stuff, places to colonize minds. When I visit a new city, I don't clamor to visit museums.

Beach art is democratic, and while Lawty, a professional artist, modeled the activity by making beach sculptures of her own, the artistic endeavor required to be successful is attainable by anyone, and participants didn't need encouragements or instructions to know how to make beach sculptures. I'm of two minds on this.
