— Dr. Jamie L.H. Goodall (she/her) (@L_Historienne) March 18, 2016

#ncph2016 #wg5 #campushistories so who really IS the audience for a campus history?

— Dr. Jamie L.H. Goodall (she/her) (@L_Historienne) March 18, 2016

#ncph2016 #wg5 #campushistories is the audience current/former students? Boards/trustees? Faculty/staff? Locals?

— Dr. Jamie L.H. Goodall (she/her) (@L_Historienne) March 18, 2016

#ncph2016 #wg5 #campushistories should engage beyond the campus; connect the campus history to the larger local/regional story.

— Dr. Jamie L.H. Goodall (she/her) (@L_Historienne) March 18, 2016

#ncph2016 #wg5 #campushistories so, when dealing with audience/stakeholders, what are the central challenges & recommendations then?

— Dr. Jamie L.H. Goodall (she/her) (@L_Historienne) March 18, 2016

#ncph2016 #wg5 #campushistories one of the main challenges is writing insider history (different to have internal vs. eternal story tellers)

— Dr. Jamie L.H. Goodall (she/her) (@L_Historienne) March 18, 2016

#ncph2016 #wg5 #campushistories a second challenge is dealing with institutions that want to protect their image/brand/reputation.

— Dr. Jamie L.H. Goodall (she/her) (@L_Historienne) March 18, 2016

#ncph2016 #wg5 #campushistories one recommendation is telling/framing the story in a more effective/less combative manner.

— Dr. Jamie L.H. Goodall (she/her) (@L_Historienne) March 18, 2016

#ncph2016 #wg5 #campushistories a 3rd challenge is a distrust among students, particularly, for the production of inclusive histories

— Dr. Jamie L.H. Goodall (she/her) (@L_Historienne) March 18, 2016

#ncph2016 #wg5 #campushistories we have a responsibility to teach/tell a more inclusive history; problems of lack of/miseducation.

— Dr. Jamie L.H. Goodall (she/her) (@L_Historienne) March 18, 2016

#ncph2016 #wg5 #campushistories hold leaders accountable for inclusive histories.

— Dr. Jamie L.H. Goodall (she/her) (@L_Historienne) March 18, 2016

#ncph2016 #wg5 #campushistories we must face risks; fear, but face, the potential backlash and figure out how to mediate.

— Dr. Jamie L.H. Goodall (she/her) (@L_Historienne) March 18, 2016

#ncph2016 #wg5 #campushistories another major challenge, then, is the fear of losing one's job or position.

— Dr. Jamie L.H. Goodall (she/her) (@L_Historienne) March 18, 2016

#ncph2016 #wg5 #campushistories make connections with what other campuses are doing to address/create more inclusive histories (precedence)

— Dr. Jamie L.H. Goodall (she/her) (@L_Historienne) March 18, 2016

#ncph2016 #wg5 #campushistories last discussed challenge: apathy about history in general, but especially about campus history

— Dr. Jamie L.H. Goodall (she/her) (@L_Historienne) March 18, 2016

#ncph2016 #wg5 #campushistories building coalitions can help an individual to face some of these audience/stakeholder challenges.

— Dr. Jamie L.H. Goodall (she/her) (@L_Historienne) March 18, 2016

#ncph2016 #wg5 #campushistories make use of local press to draw attention to less savory details of an institutional history. Balance is key

— Dr. Jamie L.H. Goodall (she/her) (@L_Historienne) March 18, 2016

#ncph2016 #wg5 #campushistories challenge of not just apathy, but ignorance.

— Dr. Jamie L.H. Goodall (she/her) (@L_Historienne) March 18, 2016

#ncph2016 #wg5 #campushistories must tell uncomfortable stories, not ignore them.

— Dr. Jamie L.H. Goodall (she/her) (@L_Historienne) March 18, 2016

#ncph2016 #wg5 #campushistories governance is a critical component of telling inclusive campus histories.

— Dr. Jamie L.H. Goodall (she/her) (@L_Historienne) March 18, 2016

#ncph2016 #wg5 #campushistories invisible limits (anticipating backlash/resistance) and real/explicit limits?

— Dr. Jamie L.H. Goodall (she/her) (@L_Historienne) March 18, 2016

#ncph2016 #wg5 #campushistories sometimes trustee/board pushback comes from deflecting alumni concerns. Can't anticipate that.

Encourage small institutions to tell their stories. Even if they have smaller campuses, commuter population, etc #ncph2016 #campushistories

— Caitlin Starr Cohn (@velostarr) March 18, 2016

Lots of experiences of being silenced by marketing, administration, censorship with #campushistory projects. Frustrating. #ncph2016 #wg5

I'm so glad that people have been so generous talking about their plans, and also sometimes risk in doing #campushistories work. #ncph2016

— Monica L. Mercado (@monicalmercado) March 18, 2016

Excellent idea to have an administrator take part in a #campushistories workshop at a future ncph. #ncph2016

— Caitlin Starr Cohn (@velostarr) March 18, 2016

WG comment: for places like Ole Miss, trying to tell honest story of their campus, sports history could be a great lens #wg6 #ncph2016

Does your campus have an "official" campus historian role? Who leads these #campushistories projects? #ncph2017 #s2

— Monica L. Mercado (@monicalmercado) April 20, 2017

What do you do when your "Campus Historian" isn't a historian? Conflicts of interest can be detrimental #ncph2017 #s2

— Olivia Brown (@_ombrown) April 20, 2017

We hear a lot about #unislavery work but there's a vast number of schools *not* open to drawing attention to #campushistories. #ncph2017 #s2

— Monica L. Mercado (@monicalmercado) April 20, 2017

"Student protest caused administrators to pay attention." We hear this over & over (#BlackatBrynMawr for ex.) #ncph2017 #s2 #campushistories

— Monica L. Mercado (@monicalmercado) April 20, 2017

How do/can #unislavery #campushistories projects intersect with sites of consciousness? #ncph2017 #s2

— Monica L. Mercado (@monicalmercado) April 20, 2017

Your campus's built environment can help you tell the story. Extant buildings provide a space to discuss a tough history #ncph2017 #s2

— Olivia Brown (@_ombrown) April 20, 2017

Who are your allies in #campushistories work? LIBRARIES (miss u @BrynMawrLITS!) #ncph2017 #s2

— Monica L. Mercado (@monicalmercado) April 20, 2017

Other #campushistories allies:

Student affairs staff

Alumni / interested donors-trustees?

…dare I say: our students?#ncph2017 #s2

Where are unexpected places to find allies when doing controversial campus history? Alums, librarians, student affairs #NCPH2017 #s002

Are #campushistories featured (for better or worse?) in your freshmen seminars? #ncph2017 #s2

— Monica L. Mercado (@monicalmercado) April 20, 2017

National media covered #unislavery @ Ivies. We need to target/think about local media as allies. #campushistories work not new #ncph2017 #s2

What are the #campushistories tales that circulate at your school? #ncph2017 #s2 https://t.co/eYu0CYA0Ok

— Monica L. Mercado (@monicalmercado) April 20, 2017

An emphasis that #campushistories are often labor histories: histories of enslaved bodies, convict labor, etc. #ncph2017 #s2

— Monica L. Mercado (@monicalmercado) April 20, 2017

YES #campushistories as labor histories, continued. #ncph2017 #s2 https://t.co/Q5Wi0AddQZ

We've found each other @ NCPH. But are there other people on our own campuses doing #campushistories that we don't know about? #ncph2017 #s2

For small universities, could interns help supplement your workforce to tackle #campushistories? #ncph2017 #s2
