2016 AASLH/MMA Annual Meeting
September 14, 2016 |
The 2016 AASLH Annual Meeting is being held in partnership with the Michigan Museums Association. It will take place on September 14-17 at the Cobo Center in Detroit, Michigan. General sessions are open to all registrants. You can see a full list of all ticketed workshops, tours, and events by clicking “Sessions” or going directly to “Register.”
Collectively and individually, we are constantly evolving, embracing new opportunities, and reacting to forces beyond our control. Navigating these contemporary challenges, while facing an unpredictable future, requires periodically re-thinking our direction. In doing so, we rely on the past for context, examples, and inspiration. The role of a public historian is especially critical during times of transition.
Meanwhile, we must anticipate changes within our profession. The shifting demographics of our audiences and our offices; the increasing pressure on our finances and partnering organizations; and questions about the relevance of our work in a nation beset by discordant political dialogue all require self-reflection. We need to review the assumptions that have served us to this point, question old processes, and ponder outdated interpretations.
In the spirit of Detroit, we gather to celebrate our achievements, but with the courage to build new models for the road ahead.
