From 2018-2020, the Institute of Museum and Library Services-funded Collective Responsibility project (LG-73-18-0236-18) designed and led two meetings bringing together contingent workers, funder representatives, and LAM management to create guidelines and best practices for grant-funded positions. The project team seeks community review and feedback on two resource documents drafted by attendees of Forum 2: Practices and the Collective Responsibility project team.
Document 1, Recommendations to Funders: Promoting Equitable Approaches to Project Staff Design provides granting organizations with concrete application guidelines that signal the critical importance of equitable and supportive labor conditions for contingent workers in grant projects: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ftcF2onWDNvvnfjs8y7QayR2YCIreNgR9nCFK3yGCX0/edit?usp=sharing
Document 2, Evaluating Project Design for Worker Equity, informs the processes of grant writing and reviewing. This one-page document is intended to empower those who want to support better positions in the field but are unsure where to start: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DPjZ5kDfStY6ocpk689of9PhphGlHsyQlboBEHVkjXc/edit?usp=sharing
We will be seeking feedback and comment from January 24, 2020 through February 14th, 2020. We welcome public comment on the documents or private emails to the PIs at: rkt6_at_psu.edu and rodriguezsan_at_umkc.edu
In solidarity,
