#ncph2016 #s29 @CuratingCamille only 2 unis in US offer funding to POC: Brown and Yale

Funding for academic work and internships can help recruitment people of color in #publichistory; class is also a factor #s29 #ncph2016

a lot of fine print in some funding agreements don't allow for interns to get paid unless they fit in a very specific box #s29 #ncph2016

#ncph2016 #s29 @lwalterscooper the structure of the work needs to be question. Who does the unpaid internship benefit?

Audience comment: lots of institutions depend on unpaid labor of women and POC and young people to sustain themselves #s29 #ncph2016

Disproportionate pressure on poc to tell the story of their race at organization. Not cool. #s29 #ncph2016

mentorship is important to POC in this field. Have to know that you have someone who understands #s29 #ncph2016

Smithsonian NMAH's internship coordinator says @MellonFdn also funds internships, thinks @FordFoundation is going to start! #s29 #ncph2016

Critical to support students of color, context where they are often told should feel grateful for opps given by white people #s29 #ncph2016

.@CuratingCamille: experience of discovering @Smithsonian #NMAH internship coordinator was poc as one of great solace #s29 #ncph2016

Beyond Freeman Tilden and other white authors: who is writing the books used in PH training? #s29 #ncph2016

— cathystanton (@cathystanton) March 18, 2016

Classic works have their place but we now have books in the field on diverse topics and by many authors #ncph2016 #s29 #NCPHDiversity

— Lisa R. Withers (@witherskid3) March 18, 2016

@CuppaCourtney: diverse #publichistory projects are equally important as reading diverse books for courses #s29 #ncph2016 #NCPHDiversity

Prof at mostly white southern univ asks how to get white students to turn their privilege to some good use. #s29 #ncph2016

— cathystanton (@cathystanton) March 18, 2016

.@lwalterscooper brings the point: always have the students ask why they're in the field, what is public history? #s29 #ncph2016

— Nicole A. Moore (@namoore) March 18, 2016

Discussion starting to unpack layers of privilege. Not a monolithic quality, intercut with gender, class, more. #s29 #ncph2016
