Listening Session for Archival Educators, Students, and New Professionals

This listening session aims to create dialogue between the Students and New Archives Professionals (SNAP) Section and the SAA Archival Educators Section (AES). AES hopes to shape an agenda that encourages dialogue between educators and students and learn about the ways AES and SNAP might collaborate in the future. Potential topics, for example, include the evolving role of internships in archival education, establishing initiatives for diversity and inclusion within education, and professional development needs and opportunities. In particular, we hope that the session results in increasing communication between educators and students and recent graduates.  

This listening session is geared towards: (1) educators who would like to provide input to help shape the future agenda of the AES, (2) SNAP members who would like to share their experiences, feedback, and/or questions with educators and SNAP steering committee members, and (3) SAA members who would like to contribute to this dialogue. 

The session will not be recorded, but shared notes will be taken for both AES and SNAP to use in shaping future programming initiatives and strategic planning for their sections within SAA. 

About the Sections

The Archival Educators Section facilitates exchange of information about archival education programs throughout the United States and Canada and provides a forum for discussion of issues relevant to those who teach courses and workshops in archival administration and related topics, in both academic institutions and other settings.
