suse anderson @shineslike.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Right. How do you pick up and help a student pull at a useful thread in their work if you don’t engage with it? How do you develop deep mentoring relationships without building knowledge and trust through engagement?! 020
suse anderson @shineslike.bsky.social · 29/09/2026A surprise benefit about teaching Museum Ethics in a building next to the White House right now is that the major paper proposals from my students are 🔥🔥🔥. A whole generation of fired up museum practitioners are going to be made from this moment—and I cannot wait to see what comes out of that. 051
suse anderson @shineslike.bsky.social · 29/09/2026The important part of a to-do list (for me) is organising my thoughts… it’s less about what needs to be done—it’s about creating a framework for action. It’s yet another cognition task that I have no interest in eschewing responsibility for. It’s meaningful because it’s mine. 31083

suse anderson @shineslike.bsky.social · 23/07/2026I’ve used the 9/11 Memorial Museum as a case study on collecting and displaying objects connected to trauma in teaching for several years. In that time, my students have transitioned from being a majority who have some sense of it as an event in their lifetime to those for whom it is truly history. 140
