ACRL Training & Equity in Library Work Discussion Group

 View Only
last person joined: one month ago 

Charge: To create a discussion forum to discuss, research, and envision the many pathways to satisfying and equitable library work. At the outset, the interest is multi-pronged: practices or programs for making the MLS/MLIS experience more accessible and authentic, particularly for underrepresented and marginalized populations; parallel pathways to (or alternative credentialing for) librarian positions; and increasing equity between library worker classifications (in terms of compensation, benefits, professional development funding, institutional and disciplinary power, & etc.).

    Hi everyone! Updating with a brief agenda for Friday's meeting. You should all have access to the document, but to give you a brief "highlights" overview, our hopes are to:

    • do some reflection and discussion on "Nice White Meetings" and think about how we might want to challenge those structures in our own work
    • add to our research questions document in the hopes of narrowing down a future discussion focus
    • decide on some community agreements that we can use to guide how we show up with each other.

    Looking forward to seeing you all!
