A simpler (but not easy) way to define "community" and communities

Last week, I spoke with participants in the MUSEUMS AND CHANGE series about “borrowed frames”. The gist of my talk was that museums can define communities in terms of people’s goals rather than demographics, psychographics, or org-centric models like Falk’s visitor typologies.

The discussion after the presentation was interesting because one question or sticking point that featured prominently was: What do we mean by “Community”?
