Looking for names/reccs, please Boost. If you were at an event re #labor in libraries, archives, museums (LAM), who would you want to keynote?
(note: keynoters may connect us other communities, remind us of related work, etc. may not be LAM at all. may be scholars, activists, workers. LAM reccs are also appropriate)
