Abstract:
Former Community Engagement Coordinator for the Preservation Alliance of Minnesota, Michael Tolan, reflects on his work in Minneapolis to engage diverse and marginalized communities around their intangible heritage. Central to this work was establishing trust and mutual understanding, developing new ways for professionals to talk about preservation with communities, and being proactive about building relationships.
