[Sigifp-l] Workshop for 2017 ASIST Annual Meeting

[Nadia Caidi]

Hi folks,
I also think it is a good idea to bring back this workshop. I suggest
rejigging it a bit to make it even more relevant in light of what is going
on right now in the US and elsewhere.
However, SIG IEP has had lots of great ideas for workshops over the years
but they often resulted in cancellation because of low registration. I
suggest we have a strategy for dissemination and publicizing the workshops.
Creating some buzz in other words by enticing people to attend the
workshop: how will it benefit their teaching, research, line of work etc.
Otherwise people will not pay the extra couple of hundred dollars.
Can we try and get some sponsorship from somewhere? ACLU? EFF? Etc.?

I would attend and participate.

Cheers,
Nadia
