Rather than signing up here, please reach out to Soojeong Herring on Slack or via email (soojeong_herring@brown.edu).
  
Dawna I. Ballard (Ph.D., University of California at Santa Barbara) is associate professor of organizational communication and technology in the Moody College of Communication at the University of Texas at Austin. An expert in chronemics—i.e., the study of time as it is bound to human communication—she researches what drives our pace of life and its impact on the communication practices and long-term vitality of organizations, communities, and individuals.
+
== T-Shirt Committee ==
Dr. Ballard is currently completing a book, Time by Design (under contract at MIT Press), about how effective organizations routinely communicate slow to go fast.  
+
This committee organizes the t-shirt contest, collecting submissions, and putting out the call for votes. This committee is also responsible for helping the local planning committee identify a vendor that will fit within the budget constraints for the conference. User sizes and preferences will be obtained as part of the registration process.
  
She delivered a keynote at Electronic Resources & Libraries in 2016. She talked about “her work and the search for work/ life balance.” She seems to be focusing on communication among group members, which I think is pertinent to all practitioners in our field and I wonder if she has anything to say about how researchers think about time when organizing and retrieving concepts. She has done keynotes at other professional conferences but no other GLAM-related ones, as far as I can see.

==Dr. Joy Buolamwini==

'''Looking for opportunities to help out at the conference? See [[2024 Conference Volunteers]]'''
  
[https://poetofcode.com/ Dr. Joy Buolamwani ] is a computer scientist and poet of code who uses art and research to illuminate the social implications of artificial intelligence. She founded the Algorithmic Justice League to create a world with more equitable and accountable technology. Her TED Featured Talk on algorithmic bias has over 1.4 million views. Her MIT thesis methodology uncovered large racial and gender bias in AI services from companies like Microsoft, IBM, and Amazon. In 2020, these companies stepped back from selling facial recognition technology to law enforcement. In addition to advising elected officials during US congressional hearings, she serves on the Global Tech Panel to advise world leaders and executives on reducing AI harms.
+
[[2024 Online Volunteer Documents|2024 Online Volunteer Documents]]
  
Dr. Buolamwini has a book coming out in late October 2023 called Unmasking AI which is investigating the harms and biases of AI. I feel she has a number of intersecting interests that are relevant to much of what this conferences/community discusses even though she's not directly involved in the GLAM field. Having a keynote from her would be particularly relevant given how much the GLAM community is currently wrestling with the ethical and professional concerns of using Artificial Intelligence. The algorthimic Justice league she founded has a mission to, "...raise public awareness about the impacts of AI, equip advocates with resources to bolster campaigns, build the voice and choice of the most impacted communities, and galvanize researchers, policymakers, and industry practitioners to prevent AI harms." I have no idea if she would be available or if this would be feasible as she's becoming more well-known but just throwing her name out just in case!
