This inaugural conference will take place virtually for a few reasons. We understand that non-tenure track faculty may not have access to support and funding to help with travel to a conference’s physical location. One positive effect of the pandemic is we now all see the possibilities of virtual work for bringing together a wide range of people. Finally, the conference organizers wanted to test the waters to see whether there is an interest for such a conference; if the response is positive, in-person options are in our future.
The goals of this conference include:
