[Sigifp-l] Workshop for 2017 ASIST Annual Meeting

[Brandi Loveday]

I think this is the perfect time to revive this workshop given the
political climate and unbridled attacks on science, transparency,  and
information availability  (or lack thereof).

I think we need this, and similar panels/presentations.

If I can help, let me know what you need.

Hello everyone. Last year, for ASIST 2016, we discussed a panel on teaching
information ethics and policy and drafted a proposal. Ultimately, we had to
withdraw it due to low face to face participation. The panel was titled:
“Advancing Information Ethics and Policy Education: Designing Curriculum
for Diverse Contexts, sponsored by SIG-IEP and SIG-ED” and the summary is
pasted below.



I’m writing to see if there is interest in reviving this workshop for ASIST
2017, which will meet in Washington, DC. If so, we will need to update and
revise the panel to fit this year’s theme. Details about ASIST 2017 can be
found here: https://www.asist.org/events/annual-meeting/annual-meeting-
2017/asist-2017-call-for-papers/. If you would be interested in helping
organize the workshop, and plan to attend the meeting, please let me know.
If you would be interested in participating in some way (but not
organizing), and plan to attend the meeting, please let me know. I am also
seeking ideas on how to update/revise the workshop, so please share any
thoughts in that regard.



Another option is that we could design a completely different workshop with
a new focus. If you think this is a better approach for ASIST 2017, please
share your thoughts on this as well.



I’m hoping to have a robust discussion via listserv, which we can
eventually transfer to a virtual meeting. Thanks, everyone, for
contributing your thoughts about this.

Description of 2016 panel:

Organizers: Alan Rubel (University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA), Shannon
Oltmann (University of Kentucky, USA), A.J. Million (University of
Missouri, USA), Lisa Nathan (University of British Columbia, Canada), Bryce
Newell (Tilburg University, Netherlands), Emad Kharzraee (Kent State
University, USA), Emily Knox (University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign,
USA), Colin Rhinesmith (University of Oklahoma, USA), Kristene Unsworth
(Drexel University, USA)



Please join us for a full-day, collaborative workshop focusing on teaching
information ethics and policy on October 14, 2016.

The SIG IEP, with the support of SIG ED, is sponsoring a workshop on
teaching information ethics and policy at the ASIS&T annual meeting in
Copenhagen. The workshop will be highly collaborative, with most of the day
devoted to working groups focused on building curriculum ideas, pedagogical
approaches, project ideas, and teaching tools. Each working group will be
preceded by one or two very short presentations on the topic in order to
spark discussion and collaboration. The goal of the workshop is to learn
from other scholars and teachers of IEP about different approaches, topics,
and teaching methods.



We are seeking participation from the broadest range of scholars and
practitioners whose work includes, or relates to, information ethics and
policy (broadly construed). Participation requires only registration and
willingness to actively engage over the course of the workshop. We
encourage, but do not require, participants to bring syllabi, reading
lists, and other artifacts to share during the workshop. In addition, if
you have a particularly novel, successful, or interesting approach, unit,
assignment, or method for teaching information ethics and policy and would
like to do a very short (less than 10 minutes) presentation, please send an
abstract (approx.. 500 words) describing the presentation to Alan Rubel at
arubel at wisc.edu (subject line: ASIS&T workshop) by August 30. We will
notify accepted presentations by September 1, in time for conference early
registration (which ends September 2, 2016).
