In a session about anti-racism at the MA Conference. Developing an anti-racism approach is life changing for white museum professionals. Couldn't agree more. See the world through different eyes. #Museums2023

This is an important and relevant Tweet. It would also be interesting to see the age profile of those made redundant to see if there is any #EverydayAgeism at play.
There's been a lot written about migrants going home & causing labour shortages. But not enough attention paid to older workers choosing or being forced to retire earlier. This is a reversal of a trend that's been hugely important to many economies. ft.com/content/cefbe0b0-8102…
Nigel Hurst mentioned cross cultural curiousity. There's a word I haven't heard for a while. Have we forgotten how to be curious? #Museums2021
Margo Neale - revoicing is a better term than decolonising - much preferr this #Museums2021
I made films for Hull Museums. We asked people with knowledge from the local community to speak about black abolitionists. Some finished their films saying most research had been done by white people and asking for more black people to be rearching black history

So this morning I was sitting in sessions with people declaring themselves as activists reaching out to communities. Now I am in a session talking about the problems of class discrimination within the museum workforce. Guys what are we doing?#Museums2021

Beverley Minster would have been very busy. Not only were there sanctuary seekers but many pilgrims worshipping St John. Both brought wealth and prestige to the town.
ALT English: The Nun's Priest in the Ellesmere manuscript of Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales.

The Fridstool or Chair of Peace in Beverley Minster. In medieval times people sought sanctuary here. Of Saxon origin only two exist. The other is in Hexham Abbey.

Elephant capital in the crypt of the 11th century Abbaye Aux Dames in Caen. Clearly the sculptor had never seen one! #WorldElephantDay

Had a great day on Saturday celebrating 100 years since some women could use their vote at HERstory. York. Inspiring talks about York Women and a stirring speech from Rachel Maskell MP about the role all women should play in claiming equality. And there was of course cake!
Come and join me at the HerStory Exhibition Workshop eventbrite.com/e/herstoryyor…
