Distinguished Faculty Lecture- L. Cannon
Nelson Hall 102 - Goodwin Forum Wednesday, April 9, 2025, 5 – 7pm Distinguished Faculty Award recipients are nominated by their colleagues or students. Nominations that meet eligibility criteria specified for the award are then reviewed by a committee of previous award winners. Loren Cannon has been awarded the Outstanding Service Award for the 2023/24 Academic Year. All are welcome to join his lecture commemorating this achievement. Title: Service as Care-Work in the Contemporary University Context Summary: Loren will lead an investigatory discussion to delve into the extent that service work can be rightly understood as actions and attitudes of Care. We will discuss whether this kind of framing is helpful in our efforts to create a care-infused university or misplaced given the realities of the contemporary context. Pulling from the philosophical literature as well as personal experience, Loren will try to thread the conceptual needle between celebrating practices of Care that strengthen our communities and encouraging potentially unhealthy practices that result in squishy professional boundaries and unmanageable working conditions. Free and open to students, faculty, staff and members of the local community.
