Susi makes a good point for people who are brought in as experts and not
currently teaching.
Perhaps those of us who are currently teaching could consider putting together
some sort of a cooperative though? For example, I'm currently teaching my
environmental sociology class to advanced undergrads and some graduate
students. I've got online classes coming up when we resume on: climate change,
environmental attitudes and behaviors, post materialism, the environmental
movement, environmental justice, food and waste, and environmental stewardship.
If anyone on the list wanted to discuss a swap on one of these topics for
something that I am an expert in and frequently give talks about (such as
environmental activism, environmental stewardship, environmental protest,
climate politics and echo chambers), I'd be happy to see if we can make
something work...
I hope everyone else is staying safe in these crazy times!

Hi Ron,As someone who often is a guest speaker, just remember that your guest
speakers are going through their own little hell of adjusting everything they
do right now. So, check your speaker budgets and consider being generous. The
usual couple hundred bucks doesn't even begin to cover the time a good speaker
spends to prepare a good talk or even just the time they spend coming to your
class.
So, one more layer of attitude and institutional shift here: compensate people
adequately for their time. Do not assume they can afford volunteer time right
now. And consider inviting people who are losing work and income right now due
to COVID19 and offer them a decent stipend to help them out.
That way, you getting help actually helps, not burdens, someone else too.
Best to all and stay sane and healthy,Susi

[gep-ed] just a thought
One other thought on the whole online learning thing – Zoom or other apps for
streaming lectures might be an excellent, low-carbon way to bring in guest
speakers. We could each “trade” guest lectures on our well-known subjects (the
lectures we can give in our sleep), reducing workload of developing lectures
for us while giving our students better content.
I am not offering to coordinate this – just a suggestion in case anyone thinks
it’s a good idea.
