What you’re working on, what are you looking forward to, what are you reading/watching/listening to? Any cool announcements?

→ It’s National Library Week!

    • Katie Heiserman

    • Jon Sewall

    • Eirva Diamessis

  • Final deadline for posters: April 29

  • Last year, folks generally hadn’t presented posters before and needed more feedback. This year, seems more hands-off for Steering Committee. Might need follow ups for proposal/poster intake to meet deadlines and content requirements.

    • Timeline for posters on the blog - couple days before the meeting (staggered)

    • Crunched planning time this year, so might have to be after the meeting

    • Mostly for accessibility needs, and reference/link back in future

    • Bio and poster for each individual needed

Blog / Web Team
  • Blog posts in the queue:

    • Nicholas Brenner, “Reflecting on Immigration in a Psychiatry Archive”

    • Katelyn promises she’s working on one! (potentially Erin as well!)
