Collective Responsibility: Seeking Equity for Contingent Labor in Libraries, Archives, and Museums

Abstract

Our white paper, Collective Responsibility: Seeking Equity for Contingent Labor in Libraries, Archives, and Museums (PDF) was produced as one of the outcomes of the first forum meeting. In it, we describe our methodology for centering contingent worker experiences, share the results of our survey on the experience of contingent laborers in positions created through grant-funding, delve into themes and responsibilities which arose from the forum, and develop outcomes and next steps for the work of the Collective Responsibility project. We are deeply grateful to the many voices which contributed to this paper, from our advisory board, to attendees, to editors, who are credited on page 2.
