• Labor (contingent, unpaid, union, management, disability/accessibility)
• Interpersonal interactions in the workplace
• Reparative Justice/addressing legacy practices
• Community Archives
• Funding disparities
• Mitigating trauma for staff/patrons

We are seeking proposals that reflect varied personal and professional experiences, including individual, institutional, and geographic diversity. Proposals should be 50-100 words describing the topic of your talk with a few clarifying and descriptive sentences.

Please submit proposals via the submission form. Proposals are due September 30, 2023.
