In Our Network…
We are delighted to welcome two new faces to the publishing-and-publishing-adjacent arm of Progressive Connexions activities! Clément Labi has taken on the position of Director of Outputs and Outcomes, and will be overseeing the entire range of ways that we share our work with the world. Polina Ignatova has stepped up for the role of Director of ePublishing, and will be taking the reins on projects related to e-journals, blogs, podcasts, and other digital forms of sharing scholarship. Welcome, Polina and Clément!
We also welcome Freja Gyldenstrøm and Daria Romanova to our online conference production team! If you are coming to an online conference, or have been to one with us, Freja and Daria will be helping to make sure that you have a safe, smooth online conferencing experience. This is an area where we are still seeking volunteers, so if you want to get involved with Progressive Connexions by helping organize some of the basic elements of online conferences, contact our Director of Programmes Elif at elif@progressiveconnexions.net!
We want YOU!
