This details how to add your story to a spreadsheet that this group has acquired of internship stories that detail what it is like to not only be an intern but what tasks are asked upon us and the hours we work. It talks about not reporting unpaid internships to sites and potentially donating your own money to need based internships. I think HCC should re word the job position when showcasing the job and exactly what the stipend entails- especially because it's paid in installments that take awhile, additionally since it is a stipend I am not sure it can be given weekly or not- but some preparation of financial status should be added!
Association of Art Museum Directors Passes Resolution Urging Art Museums to Provide Paid Internships, June 20, 2019
This talks about the importance of paid internships- it is pivotal to students who often pay their own bills that we do not work unpaid jobs when money is available. This talked about the program that implemented paid internships in 10 museums and how it was essential to the workforce, additionally for students, it creates a desire to be competitive within the internship field.

The Gallery Gap. A podcast that focuses on equity and inequity in museums, collections, exhibitions, and programming. We start with our home institutions, and situate the conversation in the broader context.
http://wvik.org/programs/gallery-gap
Museopunks. A podcast for a progressive museum. Some of their recent podcasts focus on areas of social justice (e.g. episodes 19, 20, 23, 27) http://labs.aam-us.org/museopunks/
How The Art World Works is an inquiry into the logistics, values, ethics, expectations and operations of how an artist “makes it” in the art world. Unmarred by academic impetus and vocabulary, your hosts Karen Atkinson and Megan Flanders condense experiences commercial, academic and otherwise from their special guests and get straight to the point: Can someone please tell me how the art world works? Recent episodes focus on storytelling and shedding light on how artists throughout history have been discriminated against by the “Art World” and what they did to fight back.

Cultura Conscious
“Join Paula Santos, a podcast addict and lover of everything arts and culture, in conversation with other museums and cultural workers, educators, artists, activists, and leaders about how we work with our communities and the public at large. She is particularly interested in how the work we do in museums, non-profits or other cultural organizations intersects and is informed by larger questions of race and inequity in society.

Museum Archipelago - A tiny show guiding you through the rocky landscape of museums. Museum Archipelago believes that no museum is an island and that museums are not neutral.
