Attending AASLH? Join us for: "Wanting to Know? American Perspectives on Bias, Trust, and Inclusive History" Thursday, August 29 at 1:45 p.m. With Donna Sack (Naper Settlement), Dina Bailey (International Coalition of Sites of Conscience), and Sabrina Robins (African Heritage, Inc.) Last year, I shared that all good research yields even more questions. That continues to be true, but sometimes those questions align with larger ideas that come from others. Such as the Dalai Lama. Meeting the Dalai Lama in Dharamshala, India last fall as a participant in the Fostering Universal Ethics and Compassion Through Museums Summit helped me crystallize research patterns I have been noticing into a coherent theory: that knowledge brings a "warmth of mind," or compassion. That is, if we as humans want to do more to solve the ills of the world, making it a more just and equal place for all humans, we need to consider what it is that makes people care about those issues in the first place. But as much as I love what the Dalai Lama said, I felt the need to back it up a bit. That is, if knowledge yields empathy and compassion, what motivates that pursuit of knowledge in the first place? My research had already suggested an answer: curiosity. And thus the storyline of the 2019 Annual Survey of Museum-Goers, as well as broader population comparison sample.
The surveys:
Research goals: In particular, the surveys focused on the following themes:

And now, two additional notes:

I respectfully acknowledge that I live and work on the traditional lands of the Duwamish people. I thank them for the care of this land, and I endeavor to help museums bring forward a more complete and inclusive history and culture in their work.
