    Happy Tuesday! There's still time to register for this week's Augusta Baker Diversity Lecture titled "Digital Kinship and Librarians" with Jessie Loyer!
     
    "Librarians exist within a web of relationships: to our students, to our patrons, to our peers, and to the information we broker. Indigenous worldviews tend to describe these relationships in more fulsome ways. Using the Cree concept of wâhkôhtowin provides a structure for librarians to be thoughtful and precise in building this kinship, especially as our collections can be sites of misinformation and trauma around Indigenous topics."
     
    The lecture will take place on Thursday, March 9th, at 4 PM (est).

    Best,
