A fundamental understanding of matters related to advocacy, negotiation, diversity, accessibility, equity, and inclusion is essential in scholarly communications, both to reach varied audiences and to encourage richer, more open resources. This course presents strategies for developing effective scholarly communications ranging from “elevator” pitches to full-length workshops. Class conversation will cover topics related to equity, diversity, and inclusion, implicit bias, privilege, accessibility, and negotiation. Exercises will include strategic solutions focused on technologies, tools, and platforms that help scaffold advocacy-based initiatives. Students are invited to bring examples of real-life scenarios to try with communication strategies covered in class.

Instructors:

• Barbara Bordalejo, PhD, Sessional Lecturer, English, University of Saskatchewan 
• Emily Kilcer, Scholarly Communication Librarian, University at Albany, State University of New York 
• Amanda Page, Scholarly Communications Consultant, New York
