Contract Academic Staff Conference

October 20, 2023 at 9:00am - October 21, 2023 at 5:00pm

CAUT Contract Academic Conference 2023

A Seat at the Table: A Strong Voice for Better Working Conditions for Contract Academic Staff

Friday, October 20 and Saturday, October 21, 2023 / Delta Hotel Ottawa City Centre

Conference Overview

Despite their significant contributions as professionals, practitioners, and researchers, contract academic staff are often marginalized from collegial decision-making bodies and the broader academic community. To ensure fairness and better working conditions, contract academic staff need to have a seat at the table – whether that’s at departmental committees, Senates, Boards, or in bargaining.

Join contract academic staff colleagues from across the country as we explore how the voices of contract academic staff should be included in governance and decision-making bodies, and within our academic staff associations. The conference will also be an opportunity to discuss ongoing and emerging issues facing contract academic staff and provide participants with the skills and resources needed to run effective campaigns for change.

The conference program is available here.
