Civic Reflection was on the agenda at the MANY (Museum Association of New York) annual conference, held March 29-31 in Tarrytown, NY. Project on Civic Reflection director Elizabeth Lynn gave a capstone plenary session, sponsored by the New York Council for the Humanities, on the concept of civic engagement and the need for reflection on civic life. Her presentation was followed by a model discussion of literary reflection as an approach to civic reflection. About 80 museum directors from around New York State discussed Pablo Neruda's story "The Lamb and the Pinecone" in small groups, then reconvened for a wide-ranging conversation about giving and vocation. MANY director Ann Ackerson called the session "a terrific way to help the conferees weave together many of the strands of conversation they engaged in over the course of the conference."
