"FAUW and the Waterloo Way – 60 Years of Collegial Governance," a panel discussion about why FAUW is what it is today, and where we’ve been along the way.
We hear all the time, from faculty new and not-new, the value of meeting colleagues from across campus. On October 11, we'll provide the space (and the food) for you to do just that!
Members of the FAUW Board of Directors and the Lecturers Committee will also be there to answer any questions you might have about how things work at Waterloo.
Please let us know if you plan to attend if you can, but registration is not required.
This half-day workshop will explore the unique opportunities and challenges of being an Associate Professor or Continuing Lecturer—and help you plan for the next steps in your career.

A workshop for UW employees with disability studies professor Margaret Price.
Drawing upon the recently published "Resource Guide for Welcoming Faculty with Mental Disabilities" sponsored by the Temple University Collaborative on Community Inclusion, Price presents concrete strategies for making university spaces more accessible for employees with mental disabilities.
How do disabled faculty react to and reshape the academy?
Disability studies (DS) has reached a point that Price calls a "crisis of precarity." This crisis of precarity is a state in which neoliberal logics of wealth, privilege, and power are replicated within DS, doing material violence to some members of the discipline, while the discipline itself continues to flourish. Price outlines the ways DS has reached this crisis of precarity, and in response, offers a different way of thinking about disability, a theory of crip spacetime.
Speaker: Jennifer Clapp (School of Environment, Resources and Sustainability)
