[Sigifp-l] Workshop for 2017 ASIST Annual Meeting

[Bryce C Newell]

Jay Stanley at the ACLU and I will be talking on the phone about this later
this week (he expressed interest when I reached out on Friday). I see two
options here that might both be interesting for this sort of partner, one:
we retain the teaching-focused idea, modifying last year's proposal to
account for recent US and (world) politics and (related) changes in
national information policy agendas. The focus could therefore be (partly)
to generate a collective vision of how and what to teach in our courses,
and to building current events and the associated policy-related
implications into our syllabi with the intent to collectively inform our
students about a core set of topics and issues that flow from the
discussions at the workshop.

Second, either as part of this workshop, or perhaps in another setting at
ASIS&T, it could be interesting to focus on building and establishing
researcher-activist-policymaker alliances or partnerships, and to engage
people in activities and discussions about identifying where such
partnerships could be useful, what topics should be attacked as a group,
and maybe to orient the workshop towards being an information policy
research incubator of sorts...

It's great that we will be near DC, we should capitalize on that and try to
get policy folks to join us and attend/participate, etc.

I'd love to have some more specific ideas to share with Jay on Friday, so
I'll be watching this thread intently over the next few days. :)
