As reflective practitioners we continually ask ourselves if the experiences we are designing truly are inclusive. This session focuses on introversion-extroversion as a starting point for considering the learning styles of all visitors. Starting with research by scholars and authors such as Katherine Schultz in her book “Rethinking Classroom Participation: Listening to Silent Voices”, work by psychologist Adam Grant, and information in Susan Cain’s bestselling book, “Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World that Can’t Stop Talking”, among other relevant research in the fields of education and museum learning, we will open a discussion about how we can use our knowledge about best practices in the field, combined with this research, to better engage all visitors.
