Shakespeare Association of America | January 2020 1 Letter from the Executive Director
Happy New Year, SAA Members! We have another exciting lineup of events at this year’s conference in Denver. I want to call your attention to a few of them in particular. This year, we’ll be offering some new programming that addresses professional development issues for academics, in areas relevant to our work at the SAA and at our home institutions. Ombuds services and training. The SAA is working to ensure that we are responsive to confidential member concerns and that as we grow as an organization we also increase our capacity for conflict-resolution. To these ends, we have enlisted the services of an institutional ombudsperson, who will offer a session introducing ombuds skills and approaches to academic conflict resolution on Thursday morning. Israela Brill-Cass, an experienced mediator and consultant (you can find more about her at https://www.fixerrr.com/), will offer a training session introducing attendees to what an ombuds does, how to work with one, and how to bring knowledge about the role of an ombuds to your home institution. The SAA will provide documentation of your completion of the training session to all who attend. In addition to the training session, Brill-Cass will offer individual sessions throughout the Friday of the conference, should anyone wish to speak with her privately. A link to permit members to sign up for those sessions anonymously will be circulated in our monthly emails prior to the conference. Peer-led professional topics. The SAA will also offer a number of informal brown bag sessions that address academic professional issues during breakfast slots each day of the conference. These sessions address professional topics like encouraging diversity, publishing your first book, becoming an administrator, and thriving at teaching-intensive institutions and will be led by members with relevant experience already participating in the conference. In addition, we’ll have a meet-and-greet with journal editors. All of these sessions are open to any interested conference registrant. For those members considering traveling with young children, I want to let you know that we will provide a Family Room at the Denver Hyatt: this space will be on the same floor as many of the conference events for the ease of member access, and will have comfortable seating and space for children to play. Please note that the hotel already provides a separate mothers’ nursing room upon request. Finally, while in Denver be aware of both the effects of altitude (drink plenty of water, be prepared for some weariness and get lots of sleep) and the temptations of cannabis (caution is advised especially when consuming edibles). We want everyone to have a healthy, joyful experience at the conference. See you in April!
