MIX 2022 @ WMU - Submit an idea to facilitate a discussion / activity TODAY!
by Amanda Nichols Hess 24 Jun '22

24 Jun '22

***Apologies for cross-posting*** *Please consider submitting a proposal to facilitate a discussion <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Nvjsk3yWNxWf-Xn15obcY50Jmvja8EPSDkwcvwZneD…> at this year's MIX <https://miala.org/mix_conference_2022.php>, scheduled for Friday, July 29, 2022 at Western Michigan University!* *This event is open to all interested in library instruction, regardless of position or place of employment.* Rather than hosting presentation sessions this year, the planning committee seeks to engage our colleagues from around the state in conversations and activities centered around increasing diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility in library instruction. This more informal structure is designed to encourage conversations among attendees. The submission process is straightforward -- simply provide a discussion / activity title, plus three questions you'll use in engaging participants in the topic of your choice (along with your name and contact information). That's it! As you consider what to submit, it's also helpful to know that: - Proposals that encourage active participation from attendees and will also result in a shareable final product (e.g. collaborative Google Docs, photos) are desired. - Discussions / activities are expected to be scheduled for 45 minutes. - Ideas and activities that have been presented before are welcome, as are new ideas, provided the focus is on interactivity or practical experience. - Expertise in a topic is not necessary to facilitate a session - feel free to propose a topic that you are interested in learning more about through discussion and activities with your colleagues. All proposals will be blind reviewed by the MIX Conference Planning Committee. We look forward to hearing from you! Best, Amanda Nichols Hess, on behalf of the MIX committee *MIX 2022 Planning Committee:Dianna Sachs, Western Michigan UniversityKelly Frost, Kalamazoo CollegeAmy Fyn, Eastern Michigan UniversityAmanda Nichols Hess, Oakland University Kim Ranger, Grand Valley State UniversityAlexis Smith, Western Michigan University*
