Upcoming New ASERL Webinar Series

  • 1.  Upcoming New ASERL Webinar Series

    Posted Jan 29, 2024 12:36 PM
    Hi all, 

    I just wanted to share information about a new ASERL Defending Diversity: The Challenges and Opportunities for DEIA Positions in Libraries (Part 1) - Association of Southeastern Research Libraries (aserl.org). 

    Feb 26, 2024
    2:00 pm - 3:30 pm ET
    1:00 pm - 2:30 pm CT

    FOR PRIVACY, THESE SESSIONS WILL NOT BE RECORDED

    How are libraries still doing the work of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) across their systems with or without dedicated staff? This three-part series brings professionals from all levels and types of libraries together to discuss how the work of DEIA is going and ongoing considering the Supreme Court's overturning of Affirmative Action, state budgets defunding DEIA initiatives, the disappearance of "diversity roles" after three years of prolific hiring to these strategic roles only to see resignations and firing of DEIA organizational leaders from these same roles. We'll discuss if libraries have moved the needle towards becoming inclusive libraries and what should be the priorities for libraries going forward. Panelists will share their experiences, progress, challenges, and changes in doing the work of DEIA in their respective libraries.

    Please share with your networks. ASERL also has other great upcoming and recorded webinars. 

    Have a wonderful day and week. Stay safe and well.

    Take care, 
    Twanna
