Last week the SfAA Office began to contact each speaker in the 18 selected sessions to request their permission to be recorded for the podcasts. Each speaker received an email explaining what the project is, what will happen the day of, and asking them to sign and return a consent form to me before February 25, 2008.
I’ve already received a lot of ‘yes’ responses but we’ll wait until we receive permission from each session before we release the preliminary schedule.
For those of you that are in a session and have been contacted by the SfAA Office to participate in the podcast project, I’d like to remind you that we’re encouraging speakers to submit contact information (e-mail, phone number), personal website, a picture, recent/relevant publication titles and/or a PDF of your paper or PowerPoint to compliment the blog post that will be associated with the recording of the session. We found that additional information about speakers was very useful to listeners in 2007. If you’re interested in providing this information please email me before (or very shortly after) the Memphis meeting. (email:jencardew[at]gmail[dot]com)
(Here’s a great example of a blog post from last year when the speakers submitted extra information.)
