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.</font></p>

<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><span class="gmail-cf01"><font face="tahoma, sans-serif">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.</font></span></p>

<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><span class="gmail-cf01"><font face="tahoma, sans-serif">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.</font></span></p>
