#DismantlePreservation: Let’s Keep Talking presents “Support Emerging Professionals”
As the field assesses how the practice can shift to better represent our communities, we must also ask ourselves how we can meaningfully cultivate and foster cultural resource workers. Internships, fellowships, scholarships, etc. all exist in our toolkits, but these tools should be reevaluated to better encourage people to consider pursuing a career in cultural resources or to feel supported and empowered to start a career in this field.
“Support Emerging Professionals” panelists will delve into their experiences managing programs that foster the next generation of cultural resource workers and how being supported by these programs shaped their careers. Whether your organization is looking to launch a new program or assessing how current offerings could be enhanced, you’ll benefit from attending this session.
Panelists:
Deqah Hussein, urban history scholar and architectural historian
Kristina Damschen Spina, VP of Marketing for Indow
Sara Dickey, Associate Directory of Business Operations for More Than Words
Sehila Casper, Heritage Tourism Program Coordinator for the City of Austin and Board Member for Latinos in Heritage Conservation
Moderator:
Sarah Marsom, Heritage Resource Consultant
