It’s almost time for the second Student Employment in Academic Libraries (SEAL) Symposium, happening October 24 & 25. We’re once again inviting you to participate! We’re looking for your proposals for presentations, this time 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? 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 submission 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 31, 2024. We can’t wait to hear from you!
