Second Call: Invitation to Participate in Research Study on Racial Equity and Allyship in LIS

  • 1.  Second Call: Invitation to Participate in Research Study on Racial Equity and Allyship in LIS

    Posted Jun 20, 2022 07:53 AM

    Hi
    Are you interested in the concepts of Allyship and what it means to be an ally? Would you be willing to talk to me about it?
    I am working on research with my colleague, Dr. Erin DeCurtis, that is considering the understanding and definition of Ally and Allyship in LIS. The first stage was a survey sent out in Fall 2021. As we are finishing the analysis of our survey data, we are beginning the next stage of research by conducting individual interviews regarding perceptions, definitions, and understandings of Ally and Allyship, and how these are applies in the LIS professions. The interview should be no more than 30 minutes.

    I will be at ALA Annual from June 23rd – 28th. If you are attending and willing to be interviewed, please email me at lisa.hussey2@simmons.edu.

    If you are not attending ALA Annual, but are still willing to participate, please email me and we will set up a time to talk over Zoom or over the phone.

    Please let me know if you have any questions.

    Lisa
