Faculty Presentation

Abstract

This presentation comes out of my work as an archivist and librarian, in addressing invisible labor at work. Invisible labor to me, is not just about the fact that work is seen and witnessed, it is about doing work that people to understand or even acknowledge. It is work that keeps libraries and archives operating on a daily basis. One thing I have not considered in my reflections and analysis is how my own background and identity influence my perceptions about invisible labor and how I understand it to impact my life and also the lives of my colleagues.
