Nicky Agate deposited The transformative power of values-enacted scholarship in the group
TM Libraries and Research on MLA Commons 5 years, 2 months agoThe current mechanisms by which scholars and their work are evaluated across higher education are unsustainable and, we argue, increasingly corrosive.

Brian Croxall replied to the topic Concerns for 2021 Delegate Assembly? in the discussion
TM Libraries and Research on MLA Commons 5 years, 2 months agoLisa, these are great ideas. As with Cheryl’s, this is going to be impossible to do as a motion, but it’s something that we could propose that the Executive Council consider in the coming year. Some sort of statement about labor equity and protections during the pandemic would seem apropos.

Brian Croxall replied to the topic Concerns for 2021 Delegate Assembly? in the discussion
TM Libraries and Research on MLA Commons 5 years, 2 months agoCheryl, this is a good idea but one that wouldn’t be able to be done this year giving the timing on motions/resolutions.

TM Libraries and Research via email on MLA Commons 5 years, 2 months agoHi Brian,
Thanks so much for raising this issue. I’m deeply sympathetic to the issues relating to graduate study, but given this focus group, I feel like we should raise issues related to labor equity, expectations, and job safety for librarians.
