ABSTRACT

This chapter discusses the networks are understood as a means through which organisations connect with others in order to exchange and build resources, knowledge, and influence. It describes a larger body of dissertation research conducted at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington DC. The chapter examines two of Leadership Division programmes to illustrate how the museum becomes embedded in a socially engaged network and how its place in that network evolves. The first is the Law Enforcement and Society programme, run by the museum and in conjunction with the Anti-Defamation League—a civil rights organisation. The second programme is the Mass Atrocity Education Workshop, a weekend workshop for US military academy professors operated by Civic and Defense Initiatives—the museum branch focused on military programmes. The museum’s active involvement in bringing together unalike actors and connecting various parties can itself be a form of activist practice.
