Trends and the Future of the Workplace

Dupont Ballroom

Pandemic shutdowns, remote work, “great resignations,” and staffing shortages have coalesced into employee demands for workplace flexibility. Organizations across the globe have acknowledged that some jobs do not require five-day in-person workweeks and have responded by developing various hybrid working models. Higher education is slowly but surely moving towards adapting flexible work options that will continue to support a robust in-person collegiate experience, ensure academic excellence, and promote workforce retention and recruitment. This program focuses on how higher education institutions and their libraries have responded to this evolution in the workplace. Academic leaders will discuss what actions their organizations have taken to determine the best paths forward to support the evolving needs of their employees and the communities they serve.

Navigating the Law and Politics of the First Amendment and Intellectual Freedom

Dupont Ballroom

As debates about free speech, academic freedom, and intellectual freedom intensify and incidents of attempted censorship increase, we are challenged both to understand the legal frameworks at play and to identify productive avenues for action. Three experts in constitutional law will provide grounding in First Amendment law and related legal structures, and speak to their interpretations in some evolving contexts, including: proliferation of book bans and so-called educational gag orders prohibiting certain topics or concepts; pervasive misinformation and gaps between academic inquiry and public knowledge; attempts to regulate social media and other technology companies; and privacy in an era of ubiquitous technology and widespread surveillance.
