From your colleague Linda Goldenberg, an article by our director, Kaywin Feldman, in Apollo from May 2018 that discusses museum leadership in a time of crisis:

Museum Leadership in Time of Crisis

Here is a small excerpt:

“As long as the staff and trustees at American museums remain predominantly white, it will be difficult for museums to tackle the often painful but important contemporary issues that we must address. Many museum traditionalists, most of whom grew up in a different America, do not understand why younger and more diverse audiences insist that museums engage in contemporary issues. Museums, however, risk irrelevance unless they step up to address formidable and pressing societal issues.”
