Museum Branding

Reimagining the Museum

By: Margot Wallace

Museums have unequaled brands in the world of learning and culture. They have earned the recognition and loyalty of their many audiences. The challenge is sustaining image, loyalty and support as audiences shift, grow, and change. Museum Branding: Reimagining the Museum is a forward-looking survey of museums as they navigate the present, and plan for the future, holding steady to their heritage. It looks at brands that have refreshed their identity, reframed their missions, and reconfirmed their right to audience loyalty and support. Museums of all sizes, genres, and geography – over forty of them – exemplify audience-centered branding practices outlined in nineteen chapters that include Collection and Exhibitions, Archives, Fundraising and Development, Partnerships, Talks and Speakers, and Videos. The chapter on Data adds a new perspective to branding literature. The chapter on Discussion Groups builds on the branding sustained and advanced by successful virtual programs. The Chapter on Research and Development gives essential priority developing relationships with prospective members, donors and supporters. The chapter on Publications shows the smart extension of branding into many platforms. An extensive index recognizes the value of this tool for searching specific concepts and museums.

Community Matters

An Exploration of Theory and Practice

By: Margot Kempers

Community Matters is unique in its use of a contextualized, interactionist approach to analyze the nature and extent of community. Its theoretical discussion of community as process is expanded through the inclusion of arguments raised in political science and philosophy, and is balanced by descriptive analyses of a diverse selection of communities. This book helps bridge the divide between works of academic argument concerning civil society and community life and books explicitly focused on presenting practical information on what is and is not effective in community work. Community Matters shifts attention away from a conceptualization of community as a fixed evolutionary stage identified with specific types of settings, and instead provides numerous illustrations of the dynamic quality of social ties and community life. This book convinces readers that they can and should study community and community matters. A Burnham Publishers book

My Brothers, I Beg You, Put Down Your Swords

By: Margot Lewis

My Brothers, I Beg You, Put Down Your Swords is a poem, it is a promise, it is a prayer. This is the story, or set of stories, about love for a faith that cannot help but bloody its hands. Too many doors locked to the poor, too many preachers driving benzes, too many crusades. Eventually, it is better simply to put something to rest than allow its corpse to be paraded around by monsters. This book is an attempt to ask those not married to the butchers ways to choose a better path. In that, it is a goodbye. A closing of a door on a bloody past, and the opening of one towards something better. About the Author Margot Lewis lives by the occupation of wandering poet these days. From cross country motorcycle treks to weekend festivals to trains from LA to Chicago, she is often on the move. Margot is a queer poet who has lived up and down the eastern seaboard, and currently resides somewhere corn-related in the midwest. Her poetic works began as a personal endeavor in 2011 during military service, and she has been writing since. With this project complete, she sets to jump face first into both the worlds of music, and long form fiction. Catch any updates at her website, iwanttodoeverything.net

Design for Living

Design for Living

Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne

By: Margot Peters

From the much-admired biographer of Charlotte Brontë, Mrs. Patrick Campbell, and the Barrymores (“Margot Peters is surely now . . . our foremost historian of stage make-believe”—Leon Edel), a new biography of the most famous English-speaking acting team of the twentieth century. Individually, they were recognized as extraordinary actors, each one a star celebrated, imitated, sought after. Together, they were legend. The Lunts. A name to conjure with. Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne worked together so imaginatively, so seamlessly onstage that they seemed to fuse into one person. Offstage, they brawled so famously and raucously over every detail of every performance that they inspired the musical Kiss Me, Kate. At home on Broadway, in London’s West End, touring the United States and Great Britain, and even playing “the foxhole circuit” of World War II, the Lunts stunned, moved, and mystified audiences for more than four decades. They were considered to be a rarefied taste, but when they toured Texas in the 1930s, the audience threw cowboy hats onto the stage. Their private life was equally fascinating, as unusual as the one they led in public. Friends like the critic Alexander Woollcott (whom Edna Ferber once described as “the little New Jersey Nero who thinks his pinafore is a toga”), Noël Coward, Laurette Taylor, and Sidney Greenstreet received lifelong loyalty and hospitality. Ten Chimneys, their country home in Genesee Depot, Wisconsin, “is to performers what the Vatican is to Catholics,” Carol Channing once said. “The Lunts are where we all spring from.” In this new biography, Margot Peters catches the magic of Lunt and Fontanne—their period, their work, their intimacy and its contradictions—with candor, delicacy, intelligence, and wit. She writes about their personal and creative choices as deftly as she captures their world, from their meeting (backstage, naturally)—when Fontanne was a young actress in the first flush of stardom and Lunt a lanky midwesterner who came in the stage door, bowed to her elaborately, lost his balance, and fell down the stairs—and the early days when an unknown and very hungry Noël Coward lived in a swank hotel in a room the size of a closet and cadged meals at their table to the telegram the famous couple once sent to a movie mogul, turning down a studio contract worth a fortune (“We can be bought, my dear Mr. Laemmle, but we can’t be bored”). We follow the Lunts through triumphs in plays such as The Guardsman, The Taming of the Shrew, and Design for Living; through friendships and feuds; through the intricate way they worked with such playwrights and directors as S. N. Behrman, Robert Sherwood, Giraudoux, Dürrenmatt, Peter Brook, and with each other. Margot Peters captures the gallantry of two remarkably gifted people who lived for their art and for each other. Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne were once described as an “amazing duet of intelligence and gaiety.” Margot Peters re-creates the fun and the fireworks.

How Class Anxiety Created the American Food Revolution

Discriminating Taste

How Class Anxiety Created the American Food Revolution

By: S. Margot Finn

For the past four decades, increasing numbers of Americans have started paying greater attention to the food they eat, buying organic vegetables, drinking fine wines, and seeking out exotic cuisines. Yet they are often equally passionate about the items they refuse to eat: processed foods, generic brands, high-carb meals. While they may care deeply about issues like nutrition and sustainable agriculture, these discriminating diners also seek to differentiate themselves from the unrefined eater, the common person who lives on junk food. Discriminating Taste argues that the rise of gourmet, ethnic, diet, and organic foods must be understood in tandem with the ever-widening income inequality gap. Offering an illuminating historical perspective on our current food trends, S. Margot Finn draws numerous parallels with the Gilded Age of the late nineteenth century, an era infamous for its class divisions, when gourmet dinners, international cuisines, slimming diets, and pure foods first became fads. Examining a diverse set of cultural touchstones ranging from Ratatouille to The Biggest Loser, Finn identifies the key ways that “good food” has become conflated with high status. She also considers how these taste hierarchies serve as a distraction, leading middle-class professionals to focus on small acts of glamorous and virtuous consumption while ignoring their class’s larger economic stagnation. A provocative look at the ideology of contemporary food culture, Discriminating Taste teaches us to question the maxim that you are what you eat.

Public Relations and Religion in American History

Public Relations and Religion in American History

Evangelism, Temperance, and Business

By: Margot Opdycke Lamme

Winner of The American Journalism Historians Association Book of the Year Award, 2015 This study of American public relations history traces evangelicalism to corporate public relations via reform and the church-based temperance movement. It encompasses a leading evangelical of the Second Great Awakening, Rev. Charles Grandison Finney, and some of his predecessors; early reformers at Oberlin College, where Finney spent the second half of his life; leaders of the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union and the Anti-Saloon League of America; and twentieth-century public relations pioneer Ivy Ledbetter Lee, whose work reflecting religious and business evangelism has not yet been examined. Observations about American public relations history icon P. T. Barnum, whose life and work touched on many of the themes presented here, also are included as thematic bookends. As such, this study cuts a narrow channel through a wide swath of literature and a broad sweep of historical time, from the mid-eighteenth century to the first decades of the twentieth century, to examine the deeper and deliberate strategies for effecting change, for persuading a community of adherents or opponents, or even a single soul to embrace that which an advocate intentionally presented in a particular way for a specific outcome—prescriptions, as it turned out, not only for religious conversion but also for public relations initiatives.

Creative Mastery in Hypnosis and Hypnoanalysis

A Festschrift for Erika Fromm

By: Margot L. Fass,Daniel Brown

The scope of Erika Fromm's profound contributions to the clinical and research literature in hypnosis and related areas is reflected in this volume, which consists of chapters written by those who have worked closely with the noted psychologist and/or have been significantly influenced by her. The subject matter presented here ranges from detailed accounts and personal observations relating to Fromm's distinguished career, to some very new and valuable data on the psychophysiological correlates of hypnosis, the phenomenology of self-hypnosis, and an integrative model for short-term therapy. Several extensions of clinical technique for the treatment of trauma and severe psychopathology are also discussed. Professional therapists with an interest in personal growth, self-awareness, and creative mastery, whether or not they already have an interest in hypnosis, will derive significant benefits from this book. Readers who have previously eschewed hypnosis may find that this volume stimulates an interest that enriches their clinical practice and/or research.

Removing the Spin: Una nueva teoría histórica de las Relaciones Públicas.

By: Margot Opdycke Lamme,Karen Miller Russell

Este libro rompe con la engañosa dependencia que plantean las interpretaciones lineales del pasado, para ofrecer una visión amplia y a largo plazo del desarrollo y la institucionalización de las estrategias y las técnicas de comunicación estratégica, y de las relaciones públicas. En efecto, a falta de una teoría general que describa la aparición y el desarrollo de esta disciplina, los expertos han tendido a organizar tanto estas como sus antecedentes, en períodos de tiempo que presentan una evolución progresiva desde unos orígenes tempranos —poco sofisticados y no muy sobrados de ética— hasta las campañas actuales, con una visión planificada, estratégica y ética. Según Karen Russell y Meg Lamme, tales intentos de periodización han oscurecido nuestra comprensión de las relaciones públicas y su historia. De hecho, los historiadores especializados en la materia han buscado con ahínco un punto de partida, y han dado fe de las limitaciones que ello supone para la comprensión de su desarrollo, en Estados Unidos y el resto del mundo. Para ello, se ha procurado corregir malentendidos acerca de la historia de las relaciones públicas que han (mal) conformado la teoría durante más de veinte años, así como describir y comprender la relación histórica que existe entre estas, los medios de comunicación y los contextos históricos en los que emergieron

Blue Helmet Bureaucrats

United Nations Peacekeeping and the Reinvention of Colonialism, 1945–1971

By: Margot Tudor

This history of colonial legacies in UN peacekeeping operations from 1945-1971 reveals how United Nations peacekeeping staff reconfigured the functions of global governance and sites of diplomatic power in the post-war world. Despite peacekeeping operations being criticised for their colonial underpinnings, our understanding of the ways in which colonial actors and ideas influenced peacekeeping practices on the ground has been limited and imprecise. In this multi-archival history, Margot Tudor investigates the UN's formative armed missions and uncovers the officials that orchestrated a reinvention of colonial-era hierarchies for Global South populations on the front lines of post-colonial statehood. She demonstrates how these officials exploited their field-based access to perpetuate racial prejudices, plot political interference, and foster protracted inter-communal divisions in post-colonial conflict contexts. Bringing together histories of humanitarianism, decolonisation, and the Cold War, Blue Helmet Bureaucrats sheds new light on the mechanisms through which sovereignty was negotiated and re-negotiated after 1945.

Reagan's Journey

Lessons From a Remarkable Career

By: Margot Morrell

A RENOWNED LEADERSHIP EXPERT EXAMINES THE LIFE OF R ONALD REAGAN, EXTRACTING THE KEY C OMPONENTS OF HIS IMMENSE S UCCESS—PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL—AND OFFERS AN ILLUMINATING MODEL F OR LEADERS AND MANAGERS IN EVERY WALK OF LIFE. Since leaving office, Ronald Reagan has emerged as among America’s greatest— and best-loved—leaders. Today he is known as “the Great Communicator,” but in the course of his sixty-year career, Reagan faced obstacles and hardships that could have stalled him at any point along the way. After every disaster, he picked himself up and kept moving forward. How did he manage his career and handle the hurdles involved in transitioning from actor and union official into a public speaker in high demand and from there into an extraordinarily successful politician? What can we learn from the way the perennial “new kid in town” muscled through adversities, maintained his focus, stayed true to his principles, and achieved his goals? In a compelling narrative that is both a motivational leadership teaching tool and a fascinating biography, bestselling author Margot Morrell sheds light on the challenges and heartbreaks that shaped Ronald Reagan. Four times his life slammed into a brick wall: his 1948 divorce from actress Jane Wyman; the termination of his long-standing contract with Warner Bros.; the end of his eight-year association with General Electric; and a hard-fought loss to President Gerald Ford in the 1976 primary campaign. Setting politics and policies largely aside, Morrell highlights the strategies and tactics Ronald Reagan used to transform himself from shy introvert to confident communicator; the methods and tools he employed to keep his career on track; and the skills he developed that led to his many accomplishments. Each chapter of Reagan’s Journey is followed by summary bullet points and an essential overview titled “Working It In,” to facilitate these lessons into your formation as a leader. Anyone interested in strengthening their leadership and communications skills, becoming more resilient in the face of setbacks, or taking their careers to the next level will find practical and useful lessons in the life of Ronald Reagan.

Using Social Research for Social Justice

An Introduction for Social Work and Human Services

By: Margot Rawsthorne,Emma Tseris,Amanda Howard,Mareese Terare,Alankaar Sharma

This book will inspire the next generation of social work and human service practitioners to integrate research into their everyday social justice practice. Through highlighting the centrality of values to the task of research and the possibilities for enacting social justice through our research practice, it argues for respectful, meaningful, and just relationships with the people with whom we do research and build knowledge; acknowledges the ongoing impact of colonialism; respects diversity; and commits to working towards social change. With First Nations Worldviews – ways of knowing, ways of being, ways of doing – weaved throughout the text, this book seeks to both reclaim ancient knowledges and disrupt Western research traditions. Divided into three sections, this book provides a strong rationale for the importance of research skills to social work and human service practice; a step-by-step guide on doing social research aimed at novice researchers; a series of examples of applied social justice projects Bringing the authors’ passion for finding new ways of ‘doing’ research and contesting traditional research paradigms of objectivity and the scientific, it advocates for knowledge building that is participatory, emancipatory, and empowered. It will be required reading for all social work and human service students at both the undergraduate and master's level as well as professionals looking to put research into practice.
