Date: 2021-07-05

DCDC stands for Discovering Collections, Discovering Communities. It is a cross-sectoral conference, hosted by The National Archives, RLUK and Jisc, that brings together the GLAMA sectors (galleries, libraries, archives, museums and academia) to shine a light on our shared experiences, innovations, interests and concerns. The DCDC21 Conference explored how crisis can act as a catalyst for change within libraries, archives, museums, and cultural organisations. https://dcdcconference.com/

This interactive session addresses the impact of the pandemic for Early Career Researchers and Professionals. We hear from three ECRs from across the GLAMA sector on:

- the impact of the pandemic for other Early Career Researchers and Professionals
- the disproportionate impact on Black and Minority Ethnic ECR/Ps
- the consequences and impact on the wider sector
- ways the sector can support ECR/Ps in moving forwards

Panelists in the session are Amber Lascelles, Daniella Gonzalez, and Diya Gupta
