Centering Belonging: LGBTQ+ Inclusivity from Within
Want to create an inclusive space for LGBTQ+ staff and interns at your institution, but don’t know where to start? Join us for a presentation by museum educators Julia Butterfield and Roberto Chavez. Learn how museums can better support, include, and advocate for LGBTQ+ staff and interns. Participants will hear case studies and strategies for developing more inclusive practices and fostering safe, welcoming workplace environments in cultural institutions.
This presentation is recommended for emerging museum professionals and recent graduates, managers and supervisors, and museum leadership.
This NEMPN Museum Workers Advocacy Day 2025 session was adapted from the New York City Museum Educators Roundtable (NYCMER) 2024 workshop called, “Centering Belonging: LGBTQ+ Inclusivity in Museum Youth Programs”.
