RE: Embedding Digital Strategy: An Organizational Best Practice
I'm really interested in this question as well. I would venture to guess that it would be quite hard to transition for older, smaller orgs on the flattened model whereas orgs founded in the last ten years

RE: Fair Wages, or Why Steemit Isn't Right for Cultural Institutions...Yet.
I'm kind of shocked by the heat that this post is generating and I don't want to escalate the discussion into a more defensive place. But I believe that @tmaust has raised some necessary, if uncomfortable,

Exactly. "Why won't people take the whole day off work to come into Center City and learn about white people?!?!!" Baffling!

RE: Reflections on a (Flawed) Vision for a History Center in Philadelphia
Good eye! You know as well as I do the early struggle between the P.T. Barnum model and the "learned societies." I've got another quotation for you from the very first director of the Met, Luigi

RE: Revenge is a Dish Best Served in... Chicago?
What a fascinating find!! This is so wacko and such a flimsy case- I hope nobody was prosecuted, but given Chicago's history of tensions between labor and the police, I wouldn't be surprised.

RE: Wartime Rationing, Food Aid, and "Civilized" Sickness: The Problem of Pellagra in 1918
I never really thought much about the difference in grain consumption until I found out that the "Vollkorn" I was seeing everywhere actually meant like whole grain, and that "Korn"

Yeah, I mean scientists are just people, prone to human error and prejudice. This reminds me of a Radiolab episode I heard recently which you might find interesting:

RE: 1918: Achille-Claude Debussy-- The Imaginative World Is The Only Real World
This is great! I love the (then-) experimental idea of making music for a topsy-turvy world using the diatonic scale, etc. It fits in with the themes of Dada, too. Maybe you are also a fan of Erik Satie?

RE: Wartime Rationing, Food Aid, and "Civilized" Sickness: The Problem of Pellagra in 1918
I added a short bit at the top! I've been wanting to write about pellagra for a long time, and the Journal of the Franklin Institute article just gave me a good entry point. I think it's a good counterpoint

RE: Arts, Culture, and Philanthropy: The Robbed and the Robbers
Thanks, Charlie! I pulled this from my thesis research, so it's something I am chewing on a lot of the time... and I get pretty frustrated with what seems like a hundred years worth of attempts at reinventing

This is the part where I bring up the privileged dynamics of flâneurie and how experiences and opportunities to engage in this kind of activity are strikingly different according to one's gender identity,

RE: Arts, Culture, and Philanthropy: The Robbed and the Robbers
What I actually meant to say was that many modern museums and other cultural institutions aren't aspiring to anything beyond access and education. While that was an innovative and crazy goal in 1892, over

@gvgktang, I'm so glad that you wrote this (and so succinctly!) and also that you brought attention to the anthology, which I hadn't seen before. I agree with the solutions that you set out here and I

RE: Nonprofit Mismanagement: Financial Literacy Does Not Equate to Good Financial Leadership
I see what you're saying (and I can think of a couple of examples!) Do you think it would it be fairer to characterize inertia like this as a choice that (directly or indirectly) positions board/staff

RE: Nonprofit Mismanagement: Financial Literacy Does Not Equate to Good Financial Leadership
"If you can identify your problems but do nothing to rectify them, you didn’t want your nonprofit to survive." Well said! I think this analogy can be applied pretty broadly. Lots of people out
