Hello Everyone,

the Vocational Awe Trap w/Fobazi Ettarh (Re-release) **launched today at
7:00 a.m. PDT! *

Listen here: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1948067/episodes/17732368

This month’s episode is a re-release and originally aired on July 31, 2024
as Season 3, Episode 5. This episode is being re-released in light of
Fobazi Ettarh's recent health challenges. To know more, listeners can visit
the updated episode description on Buzzsprout.

Description: In this episode we are joined in conversation by scholar,
academic consultant, librarian and educational game designer, Fobzi Ettarh,
who notably coined the concept of "vocational awe" in 2018. Ettarh shares
how vocational awe operates at both the micro and macro levels,
contributing to problematic hiring, onboarding, and retention practices in
the library profession, and illustrates how this concept directly ties to
workplace inequities and burnout.

Additionally, Ettarh provides actionable ways to escape the trap of
vocational awe by prioritizing mental health and rest, achieving work-life
balance, reframing how we are showing up for community, and urging
administrators to lead by example.

Date of interview: July 17, 2024
