Call for Expressions of Interest to be Co-Convenor
The Social Aspects of Death, Dying and Bereavement Study Group are taking expressions of interest from anyone who is willing and able to take on the role of co-convenor in 2020. Please note that all study group convenors are required to be members of the BSA for the duration of their time in the role.
Key responsibilities include:
- Arranging and delivering the group’s Annual Symposium. This involves: deciding on a theme, writing the call for papers, liaising with the BSA to complete the budget and official sign-off for advertising, arranging any bookings/ catering, circulating the CFP, reviewing abstracts and informing speakers, putting the programme together, advertising the programme, and delivering the event itself.
- Occasional written pieces for the BSA, including write ups of activities for Network magazine and an annual report on study group activities.
- BSA Annual Conference stream coordinators. This responsibility is rotated between study groups within the Lifecourse stream.
- Attendance at one convenor meeting a year.
- Handling occasional requests to share news items with the group via email.
- Managing the Jisc list via email.
- Maintaining the Google email account and drive (document archive).
Current co-convenors, Laura Towers and Julie Ellis, will arrange the 2019 Annual Symposium and act as BSA Conference stream convenors in April 2020. If the new co-convenor would like to be involved with either of those events then they are welcome but it is not required.
Submission
Please submit expressions of interest by Midnight (GMT) on Thursday, 1 August 2019 to BSADDB@gmail.com.
Candidates will be contacted with further information the week commencing Monday, 5 August 2019.
