ABSTRACT

Many of us in the museum field who have specializations tend to talk to each other and don’t often talk to others in the field who perhaps have a different body of knowledge but share the same goals and objectives. The communications sometimes break down and there often is a lack of understanding-sometimes rightfully so, but more often than not wrong. I have found that, in working with museum educators in the last few years, their zeal to be recognized as museum professionals often leads them to isolate themselves from the rest of the museum world. That’s changing, perhaps.
