RE: Prioritizing the Public in Public History
You rightly point out that “collaboration and communication are central to both potential solutions.” To frame it more broadly, both point to connectivity which seems to be undervalued and underutilized. I have wondered if a commitment to connectivity isn’t interpreted as a threat. After all, TDC’s version of a History System, which would thrive on new connective energy, also downplays and possibly denies the older, established opposite - decentralization or fragmentation - which is key to that system.
I'm not sure I totally understand what your comment means, @kenfinkel! I will definitely be asking you to elaborate in class, and then we can post some clarification here.
