Labor and Organizing in the Digital Humanities
Thursday, January 18
2-3pm Eastern / 11am-12pm Pacific
This panel, consisting of participants from a range of institutional positions involved in organizing work, will take up the following questions: What is the role that unions (and organized labor more broadly) can play in supporting DHers in our work? How can unions help support DH work in an increasingly politicized teaching landscape? How do current questions about AI and its range of impacts intersect with labor rights? What are some practical considerations, or lessons learned, if you would like to get more involved in labor organizing at your institution?
This event will be held on Zoom and is open to the public. There is no registration fee.
Registrants will receive a Zoom Webinar link upon registration.
