Building on our Back to Basics: Academic Freedom in our Collective Agreements event in February, we invite you to deepen our shared understanding of academic freedom for librarians and archivists. Join us to learn, discuss, and strategize how we can collectively increase our capacity to understand, protect, and exercise academic freedom.

In addition to presentations from guest speakers Jennifer Dekker and Sam Popowich, attendees will be in discussion with peers to explore questions, obstacles, and opportunities related to academic freedom.

Please note this event will not be recorded. The first portion of the program, from 9:30am-11:00am will be available as in hybrid format via Zoom. The remainder of the program will be in-person only. The in-person event will take place at SFU Harbour Centre.

This event has been organized by the Librarian and Archivist Committee of the UBC Faculty Association and members of the SFUFA Library and Archives Ad Hoc Committee. The event is open to current UBC FA librarians and archivists and SFUFA members in the Library and Archives.
