I’m thrilled to be the latest writer featured in the “Meet a Museum Blogger” series on Jamie Glavic’s Museum Minute blog. In it, I give some background on why I started this blog, and how grateful I am to the online community of museum professionals for sharing your thoughts, experiences, and opinions in a public forum.

Thank you for reading and for being a part of this effort!

My blog is called Engaging Museums, which conveys both my intention to help museums be engaging places for the public but also my belief that museum professionals must do the hard work of engaging our institutions in challenging discussions about the future of museums if we are to remain relevant.

Take a look at the piece to find out which Engaging Museums post is the most read by lovely readers like you, which museum-related blogs are on my must-read list, and a peek inside my not-so-secret Daily Squee side project.

While you’re on the Museum Minute blog, I recommend taking a look at the inspiring blogger profiles of Ed Rodley, Jasper Visser, Adrianne Russell, Paul Orselli, and Mar Dixon. And if you’ve been thinking about starting your own blog, here are my thoughts on the subject:

. . . the more we are free and open with our experiences, lessons learned, and perspectives on the issues that we face, the more we move the field as a whole forward. So if you’ve been thinking about starting a blog but aren’t sure what you’d write about or are concerned because you won’t have regular weekly content, I’m here to tell you: JUST DO IT.

Thanks again to Jamie for featuring this blog in her series!
