This week in Dispatches from the Future of Museums:
Why so many members of GenZ don't want to be managers (TLDR: stress, low rewards, high risk)
LA museums commit to climate action in wake of LA wildfires
Latest data from Gallup on public opinion about citizen involvement in democracy, barriers to participation and (attn museums) the impact of civic education
On the CFM blog, I preview my upcoming talk at AAM2026--TrendsWatching: To Live or Die in AI--and provide a guide to all the sessions on the program related to artificial intelligence.
Looking forward to seeing you in Philadelphia for the conference.
Warmest regards from the future,
