CHILL Chats: A Forum for Informal Chats with GLAM Professionals and Scholars

CHILL Chats: A Forum for Informal Chats with GLAM Professionals and Scholars is an initiative hosted by the Computational Humanities and Innovative Literacies Lab (CHILL) in partnership with the UNT Student Chapter of the Association for Information Science and Technology (ASIS&T). Each CHILL Chat will invite one distinguished scholar or professional in information science to participate in an informal chat about their work and perspectives on the profession and research within the discipline. They will give some background on their work and then we will have considerable time for
 your own questions. This is an open forum to chat about whatever you would like rather than just a lecture to listen to. Bring your own research ideas if you'd like to discuss with the distinguished guest. 

Please contact CHILL Director, Brady Lund (Brady.Lund@unt.edu) for meeting location and Zoom link.
