Ein weiterer Grund 👇, warum Deutschland Vorreiter für liberale Demokratie und #CivicSpace sein sollte und endlich das Recht #Gemeinnützigkeit wie im Koalitionsvertrag vereinbart modernisieren muss. Hierzulande fürchtet sich jeder 20. Verein vor Advocacy: https://www.zivilgesellschaft-ist-gemeinnuetzig.de/30000-vereine-verstummen-wegen-zu-engem-gemeinnuetzigkeitsrecht-ziviz/
#MaecenataInstitut berichtet: "Today, significantly fewer #nonprofits know #advocacy activities they are legally allowed
to do compared to 20 years ago."

Was macht eigentlich eine #Infodemic Managerin? Und wofür brauchen wir einen #PublicEngagement-Kodex? Um diese und weitere Themen ging es im Januar auf wissenschaftskommunikation.de. Projektleiter Michael Wingens stellt in der #Wisskolumm seine Highlights vor:

A #Mesolithic #replica #variety pack.

Alongside working on & supervising the #excavation of Mesolithic sites, replicating some of the #artefact types of the period can be a great way to further engage with the #archaeology.

#Replicas can fill in some of the gaps left by patchy preservation and the loss of perishable materials, and can provide a tactile, tangible component of everything from archaeological experimentation through to #outreach and #publicengagement.

Exciting news from #SHA2023!

The Montpelier #Archaeology Dept. has won the Daniel G. Roberts Award for Excellence in Public Historical Archaeology!

The award is intended to honor programs that have excelled in #publicarchaeology and moved the field forward in terms of #publicengagement.

@MobileMaggie @RMTownsend So much of #PublicEngagement in history is just narrating history to public audiences. #Museums have done a little more with #UserGeneratedContent. #OralHistory uses #SharedAuthority to a limited extent. But I think there's still a lot of fear that the public doesn't have the background knowledge to interpret history in a way that meets all our ethical standards, and our role as historians is to be something like interpretive authorities for the public.

@MobileMaggie nice to meet you! @RMTownsend
The #sciences and #SocialSciences seem to be ahead of the #humanities, in terms of finding ways to involve the public in meaningful ways. Since humanities scholarship tends to be interpretive, it's a little harder to think of #PublicEngagement as a spectrum, or to involve the public in the interpretive process.

I'm thinking about various models of #PublicEngagement that are often framed as democratizing knowledge, but they seem very top-down to me. Scholarly discourse works because we have access to one anothers' sources and can vet interpretive claims about what the sources mean. Scholarship merely directed at the public asks the audience to accept or reject the claims being made without access to the sources. Are different models possible? Can #OpenSource #OpenAccess tools change the game?
