Some really powerful debate #museums2023 on workforce wellbeing with @glam_cares and @TamsinRussell including discussion of the stigma attached to not being seen to cope. I wrote this piece on burnout & saying no after conference 2021, still feels relevant emmakingconsultancy.co.uk/bl…
In a session about disposal #Museums2023 and reflecting that in the 25 years I’ve worked in museums we’ve periodically talked about the crisis in collecting and how museums just have Too Much Stuff. It’s not a new conversation and what interests me is why so little has changed

In a massive queue for @young_vam. I get museums not wanting the expense of online booking systems but it would really help neurodivergent kids who can’t tolerate uncertainty #inclusion
