LACUNY Institute 2022 CFP and Save the Date

 On behalf of the Library Association of CUNY, we are pleased to share information about and invite proposals for the Library Association of CUNY Institute 2022

 

The theme for this year's institute is "Built to Exclude: Confronting Issues of Equity and Otherness in Libraries." The institute will be held virtually on Thursday May 12th & Friday May 13th and hosted by the New York City College of Technology. 

 

Please save the date for the conference and see the call for proposals below. 

 

 

 

LACUNY Institute 2022 : "Built to Exclude: Confronting Issues of Equity and Otherness in Libraries."

 

Submission deadline: April 1, 2022

 

 

Library workers, patrons, and scholars are grappling with questions about what it means to have access, to belong, and to feel welcome and included. How do library environments and institutional norms–from the ways spaces are designed and collections are organized, to the language we use in classrooms and on digital platforms–potentially exclude historically marginalized populations or alienate patrons and workers with different cultural and racial, linguistic, and socio-economic backgrounds? How do conceptions of professionalism and issues of privilege, class, and power impact the experiences of library workers or present barriers to entry into our field? How can we confront encoded forms of discrimination that library workers and patrons face? Is it possible to transform institutional dynamics that are othering when we face bureaucratic obstacles, labor shortages, and austerity conditions? Who has the agency and resources to change library environments that are built to exclude?

 

For LACUNY Institute 2022, we invite proposals that explore barriers to access. We are interested in proposals that address the problems of equity and otherness in institutional environments and that introduce individual and collective strategies for transforming libraries.

We welcome theoretical explorations, case studies, and creative or imaginative proposals that examine how we: advocate for funding and combat austerity; purchase, describe, and organize collections; create and enforce policies and institutional rules; design spaces that welcome people with different levels of ability, linguistics backgrounds, and ways of learning; collaborate, support, and communicate with each other; and understand and meet the needs of the particular populations our libraries serve.

Proposal submissions may address but are not limited to topics including:

  • Power dynamics
  • Linguistic and cultural hegemony 
  • Definitions of professionalism
  • Libraries and feelings
  • Class, socioeconomic inequity, debt
  • Library anxiety 
  • Library architecture 
  • Austerity 
  • Closed collections and insider research practices 
  • Labor exploitation, contingent work, and labor activism 
  • Surveillance and space
  • Patron advocacy
  • Rules and bureaucracy 
  • Anti-oppression work within institutions and the profession 
  • Discrimination based on ability, age, or race
  • Discrimination based on gender, sexual orientation, or physical presentation
  • Mental Health 
  • Divergent learning

CFP: Special Issue - The implications of the Covid-19 pandemic on nonprofit human service organizations: An international perspective

 We are happy to share this Call For Papers (CfP) for a special issue: The implications of the Covid-19 pandemic on nonprofit human service organizations: An international perspective to be published by the Journal Human Service Organizations: Management, Leadership and Governance https://www.tandfonline.com/journals/wasw21


Guest Editors: Hillel Schmid, PhD & Itay Greenspan, PhD, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

Please see more details below and attached.

***********************

The Covid-19 pandemic is different from any previous crisis we have experienced, because it is global and multidimensional, because its “enemy” is invisible, and because the economic and social implications from this pandemic are profound. For example, in the labor market of most countries, a significant decline has been recorded in the income of employees and self- employed workers, and a dramatic increase in the number of unemployed people. Vulnerable populations were those most impacted by the pandemic, and as a result, the demand for welfare services has been increasing. Consequently, human service agencies are facing the need to deal with financial instability, heavier workloads and absence of employees due to lay- offs, health restrictions and unpaid leaves. This dimension of the implications of the Covid-19 pandemic has been only partially explored in the international context and is the main theme of this special issue.

Crises and emergencies can be an opportunity to re-examine ideologies, worldviews and values, organizational structures and service technologies. They are also an appropriate opportunity to scrutinize the status of organizations in the public sphere and their relationships with other actors, be they governments, collaborating or competing non-profits organizations or the business sector. The special issue would provide a platform for theoretical and empirical articles discussing the mission of Human Service Organizations generally and especially in times of crisis.

We welcome contributions on the following potential topics (among others): The implications of the health, economic and social crisis on the ideology, values, administrative processes and structures in HSOs, relationships between government and HSOs, relationships between HSOs and the business sector, philanthropy’s role in the Covid-19 crisis, HSOs’ preparedness to crisis and emergency, volunteering and volunteers in HSOs during the crisis, patterns of political and civil engagement in times of a crisis, the impact of the crisis on ethnic and gender minorities, mergers in nonprofit HSOs.

***********************

Review Process: Authors should send abstracts of up to 250 words (or other inquiries) to the Guest Editors: Hillel Schmid (hillel.schmid@gmail.com) and Itay Greenspan (itaygree@mail.huji.ac.il). Abstracts will be reviewed on the basis of substance, methodology, originality, acknowledgment of the literature, and relevance to the journal. https://www.tandfonline.com/journals/wasw21

***********************

Timeline:

  • Abstract submission to Guest Editors: March 1, 2022
  • Reply to authors with invitation to submit a full manuscript: April 1, 2022
  • Full paper submission: September 1, 2022. Submissions will be processed and peer-reviewed according to the journal’s guidelines and regular submission procedures.

Call for Book Chapters: Privacy and Safety in Remote Learning Environments (Deadline extended Feb 7, 2022)

 Call for Proposals—Book Chapters 


Working book title: Privacy and Safety in Remote Learning Environments  

Proposal submission deadline: February 7th, 2022 (deadline extended)


Interdisciplinary perspectives are highly encouraged 

Please share with those interested 

 

Overview 

Online education is not a new phenomenon, but the Covid-19 pandemic caused a sudden and widespread shift online for many K-12 schools and higher education institutions that had little prior experience with it. Even as schools return to in-person classes, online platforms remain prevalent as backup and supplemental content delivery tools. While privacy issues related to education are not new, the sudden shift to online learning brought these concerns into sharp focus for many parents, educators, administrators, and researchers.  

 

The objective of this book is to reflect on the unintended breaches of privacy, safety, and security that occurred during the rush to move classes online, and to examine and propose solutions for more responsible future use of the platforms. 

 

This book will document how educational institutions approach privacy regarding students and educators, describe privacy initiatives implemented in response to online learning, and contribute to the growing discussion of how privacy and surveillance impact our users, especially students from our most vulnerable populations.  

 

We encourage a broad range of contributions, including original research, case studies, pedagogical approaches, and critical reflection papers. We especially encourage contributions from K-12 and higher education educators, research centers, museums, and libraries that facilitate online learning or online curriculum, and from underrepresented and historically marginalized racial, social, and/or class groups. Interdisciplinary perspectives are highly encouraged.  

 

Topics may include but are not limited to: 

  • Privacy policies of 3rd party EdTech platforms (Google Classroom, Microsoft Teams, Schoology, etc) 
  • Parental “spying” and classroom privacy 
  • Family privacy and synchronous online schooling 
  • Online harassment among students (private chats, doxing, social media, etc) 
  • Cameras in student private spaces  
  • Surveillance of student online activities 
  • Exam proctoring software and privacy concerns  
  • Personally Identifiable Information in online learning systems and susceptibility to cybercriminals  
  • Privacy, storage, and deletion policies for recordings and data 
  • Handling data removal requests from students  
  • Appointing a privacy expert in schools, universities, or districts 
  • How and why to perform security/privacy audits 
  • Student attitudes about online privacy 
  • Instructor privacy/safety concerns 
  • Libraries: privacy policies of ebook platforms 
  • Libraries: online reference services and transcripts 
  • Identity authentication best practices 
  • Learning analytics and “big data” in higher education  

 

Submission Procedures: 

Potential contributors are invited to submit proposals of not more than 500 words for chapters of 3,000-5,000 words (not including tables/figures and references). All submitted chapters will be reviewed by at least two peer-reviewers on a double-blind review basis. Contributors may also be requested to serve as reviewers for this project.

Call for Chapters: Creating an Inclusive Library: Approaches for Increasing Outreach, Engagement, and Use with BIPOC Students

Creating an Inclusive Library: Approaches for Increasing Outreach, Engagement, and Use with BIPOC Students

For publication with ACRL Press 

 

Proposal Submission Deadline: March 4, 2022

 

Editors Yen Tran, Michael Aguilar, and Adriana Poo invite the submission of chapter proposals for a peer-reviewed ACRL book on the various methods and approaches used by academic librarians, archivists, and library workers to increase engagement and use of library and archival resources, services, and materials by Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) students. 

 

The book aims to include chapters that discuss the need for an anti-racism lens to improve awareness and use, to ensure that libraries can best serve all of their intended users. An anti-racism lens is critical when working with BIPOC students as libraries seek to improve and mend relationships with communities, strengthen collections related to their experiences and needs, and create an inclusive learning environment for all users.

 

The book’s goal is to help other libraries, library employees, or librarians interested in this critical work of being more inclusive and anti-racist at their libraries. We strongly encourage library workers of color and those from underrepresented groups to provide their perspectives for this edited work. 

 

New and completed research and case studies are welcome, provided any new studies can be completed within the timeline explained below. Chapters based on completed research must not be previously published or simultaneously submitted elsewhere.

 

Chapter Ideas

The editors recognize that the definition of outreach is continually evolving, and manifests in different forms depending on each library’s initiatives, resources, collections, and community. While the book includes discussions on traditional outreach approaches such as programs, events, and exhibits, it also includes innovative approaches used to increase engagement including social media and digital content strategies, podcasts, video series, and other uses of technology.

 

Below are potential book chapters; additional chapter topics will be considered.

  • Initiatives or programs - Chapters that discuss specific initiatives or programs as the main form of outreach, to promote anti-racist practices, or to be more inclusive. The chapter could discuss library collaborations with campus-wide programs or initiatives, and/or be library-led programs or initiatives. Some example chapter topics:
    • Inclusive student hiring practices
    • Inclusive collection development or diverse collection development
    • Anti-racist or inclusive library policies and practices
    • Anti-racist or inclusive design of library signage, space, or services
    • Collaborations on orientations to specific BIPOC student groups
  • Workshops, events, or exhibits - Chapters that discuss workshops, events, exhibits, etc. hosted by the library focused on conducting outreach to diverse populations on campus. The chapters could include activities that promote anti-racist practices or to be a more inclusive environment. Some example chapter topics:
    • Case study of specific workshops, events, or exhibits designed to reach specific BIPOC student populations
    • Workshops, events, or exhibits designed to promote anti-racist practices
    • Instructional activities that uphold equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility values and a commitment to anti-racist pedagogy
    • Workshops, events, or exhibits that create a more inclusive library or campus environment
    • Programs, services, and resources that support BIPOC students through coursework, campus life, and beyond
  • Digital initiatives - Chapters that discuss outreach efforts led by librarians and library staff that largely take place in digital environments. The chapters could include efforts to incorporate anti-racism frameworks into library messaging, promote historically neglected collections, or increase library engagement among BIPOC students. Some example chapter topics:
    • Social media and email campaigns or strategies
    • Web and mobile application design or strategies
    • Digital exhibitions or digital interactive experiences including virtual reality, augmented reality, artificial intelligence and other innovative uses of technology
    • Podcasts, blogs, or other web series

 

Submission Procedure

Please submit a chapter proposal by March 4, 2022. Authors will be notified of acceptance by April 4, 2022. A final manuscript of between 2500 and 7500 words due January 16, 2023.

 

For additional information, please contact the editors at createinclusivelibrary@gmail.com
