Making Change, Taking Space:
A call to gather (virtually)

We invite your ideas!

Making Change, Taking Space -- the title of our inaugural Annual Virtual Gathering -- is an invitation to share what you have been doing and what you are doing in your work as an educational developer, but more importantly, it is a call to action and into reflection: What change are you making and what space are you taking? 

We invite presenters from all backgrounds and experience levels to consider how you might share actionable strategies for change or tiny moments of space-taking with your colleagues. We especially invite newer educational developers to use this opportunity to flex a new muscle and try on sharing with our community via a lightning talk. Our sessions are designed to give as many colleagues an opportunity to present as possible, and our themes are drawn from feedback provided by educational developers. Some themes for presentation topics that you might consider are: 

• Working within flawed systems 

• Maintaining your own wellbeing 

• How to lead from our specific positions

• Cultivating relationships with various campus stakeholders

• How to engage with faculty and save them time

Ready to do this? Great!

We request proposals by the end of the day on Monday,  April 15 (priority deadline). If you need more time, use the "Submit a session proposal" button before to let us know that you plan to submit a full proposal (you'll be taken to a much shorter form). We will accept submissions through end of day April 29 (extended deadline). 

We aim to send notifications on proposals no later than May 20. If something delays that, we'll let you know.

Get excited! We're looking forward to gathering in late June 2024!
