Still wondering why so few men visit museums in Denmark! Is it so everywhere? Like 30% really? #memoriesconnect

Who knows how to deliberately forget? Memory is complex

In my research (Dydimus Zengenene ) I investigate how networks of participation emerge in memory work and what the role of digital infrastrures is in the process. #memoriesconnect.

At what point do such networks become communities? How are such communities managed online?

“For some, these disagreements reflect a wider split in the museum world about whether such institutions should be places that exhibit and research artifacts, or ones that actively engage with political and social issues.” buff.ly/3ab74nc

PhD applicants (and friends of applicants) in computing-adjacent fields: this is a thread of tweets about open positions/faculty recruiting/programs. Probably mostly InfoSci/HCI/responsible tech/social computing. Please share, and also give me more to add! 🙏

Been talking to CoP managers. I saw two hot potatoes in the discussion. 1) The role of models in activating participation, and 2) the question why people participate in a CoP, is it a question of behaviour or of need?
