• Big Publishing’s New Editors

  24-02-2021 23:31 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  “By the time that America’s reckoning on race reached a fever pitch last year, publishing was months into a messy upheaval of its own. On Twitter, publishing insiders railed against the blinding whiteness of the industry, while writers of color used #PublishingPaidMe to show that they often received far less money than their white peers. The resulting move by the big-five publishers to hire executives and editors of color has been viewed by some as a sea change for the industry.&rdq

• How The Indianapolis Museum Went Wrong (By The Guy Who Used To Run It)

  24-02-2021 23:02 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  “Every decision made by Charles Venable over the past decade seemed to be in service of remaking a museum founded in the 19th century into an income-generating attraction, when in fact it is a peer of other great Midwestern art museums that are open to the public for free and pursue an educational mission rather than masquerading as amusement parks.” – Artnet

  “For institutions that have historically enjoyed a certain level of prestige, these calls for reexamination of (and accountability for) their charitable purposes may be disorienting.

• Why Should We Trust Smiles When They’re So Easy To Fake?

  24-02-2021 21:33 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  “The trouble is that smiling is easy to do. If flashing a smile can so easily convey good intent, it could be ‘hacked’ by unscrupulous individuals who want you to think that they’re trustworthy so they can exploit you. These kinds of ‘false smiles’ certainly happen in everyday life, yet we still generally trust smiles. In my research, I wanted to understand why.” – Psyche

  Choreographer Robert Moses: “The notion of change is sophomoric. The idea is to give people honest opportunity to be part of whatever they’re intending to be a part of. … Should we have more representation? No, we should have more influence. More actual ability to exercise that influence and power. All those things will be happening for the better of everyone.” – San Francisco Classical Voice

• Why Librarians Have Been Unsuccessful At Fighting Misinformation

  24-02-2021 20:29 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  “This failure has many roots: The low social status of teachers and librarians relative to those in other professions, the lack of consistent instruction about information and media literacy across students’ educational experience, the diminishment of the humanities as a core element of general education, and the difficulty of keeping up with technological change and digital culture have all played a role. So has the fact that information literacy has no specific place in the curric

  I was so surprised how “place-keeping” became such a sticky word across the country. I was offering a strong artist’s point of view about place, one in which artists weren’t being instrumentalized by the architect, or even the city planner, who wants a vibrant cultural district so that they can have sales; generate tax dollars. – Open Space

• Why Literary Canons Are Important

  24-02-2021 18:28 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  “For those who view the very notion of the canon as inherently elitist, it’s worth noting that the phenomena mostly clearly implicated in its formation were the democratizing processes of the late 19th and early 20th century: the massive extension of free education—not just to little white proto-patriarchs, but to girls, and children from diverse communities as well—together with the technological improvements in the replication and dissemination of literary texts.&rdquo
