Copyright, as set out in the U.S. Constitution was meant to "promote the progress of science and the useful arts." Around 200 years later, Fair Use was codified in statutory law to allow unlicensed uses of copyrighted materials for certain purposes, including teaching, scholarship, and research while utilizing a four-factor test to balance the interests of creators and the users of their work. This workshop will provide information and resources to help you navigate copyright in your teaching and research activities and provide a chance to ask questions and discuss. 

Learning Objectives:

1. Participants will be introduced to the foundational basics of copyright.
2. Participants will be introduced to fair use, contextualized through examples.
3. Participants will understand the market and interpersonal mechanisms for seeking permissions to use the work of others.
