WORKSHOP REGISTRATION
Please put in the order you would like to be registered, making your first choice #1. We hope to be able to place people in two workshops, if at all possible.
_____APSCUF Origins and Futures: Building Solidarity Through Digital Narrative and Local Archives
Mysti Rudd andMoe Folk, Kutztown University
In this workshop, we will examine the importance of building a digital archive oflabor/union narratives and also enable attendees to create digital archives for their home institutions.
_____Driven by Crisis: the Casualization of the Academic Workforce
Raye A. Robertson, UPTF-AFT 477, Wayne State University
An especially troubling dilemma for faculty that we will explore in this workshop is: How can we resist the casualization and downgrading of the market value of today’s academic workforce when the prevailing message is more and more that “anyone can teach?”This workshop aims to stimulate discussion and constructive solutions.
_____Leadership Development and Membership Involvement
John Hinshaw, President, Pennsylvania AAUP; Lebanon Valley College
Tim Blessing, Vice President,Pennsylvania AAUP; Alvernia University
This workshop surveys some of the theoretical and practical problemsfaced by chapter and state-wide officers. It also goes over some of the practical strategies that the AAUP uses to develop strong chapters and organizations.
_____Who’s Accountable to Whom?
Mark Smith, NEA
This workshop will look at a variety of tools, including NEA policy, and debate the kinds of strategies we will need to develop to ensure that higher education is not hamstrung by management fads, yet has the levels of public support needed to do our jobs.
____Promoting Faculty Development: Administrative Practice vs. Institutional Principle
Gerald Lee Ratliff, SUNY Potsdam
This workshop explores well-crafted strategic approaches to promote active faculty development initiatives. The workshop draws a meaningful distinction between administrative vs. faculty perspectives on professional development, including basic practices and principles related to budget allocation, assessment, and program activities
