Hello everyone,
We at the Indiana University Indianapolis University Library are planning our second Student Employment in Academic Libraries virtual symposium and are looking to expand the scope and audience - to more supervisors AND student employees. If you supervise a student worker, are a student worker, or are interested in working with students, please take a second to consider the following invitation to our program.
It's almost time for the second
Student Employment in Academic Libraries (SEAL) Symposium, happening virtually October 24 & 25, and we're inviting you to participate! We're looking for your proposals for presentations or virtual posters related to the theme of an
ethics of care as it's applied to student employment.
How is the student employment experience at your library informed by an ethics of care? How does knowing student employees and being responsive to their needs, skills, goals, development, interests, identities, or lived experiences factor into specific elements of the employment lifecycle? As a student employee, how has an ethics of care in these aspects shaped your employment experience? These might include for example:
-
- Developing positions, projects, or workflows;
- Hiring, orientation, and training;
- Evaluation, coaching, and feedback;
- Communication, project management, teamwork, and workplace relationships, among others.
Give us 150 words (or less) about your work, culture, or practice in student employment or student employment management that embodies an ethic of care. The proposal process is open to both library student employees and staff. Proposals are being accepted for 20-minute presentations, or digital posters.
We're accepting proposals until July 31st, 2024. We can't wait to hear from you!
For questions about the symposium or the proposal process, please reach us via email.
