    Featured Panelists
    Fobazi Ettarh's research is concerned with the relationships and tensions between the espoused values of librarianship and the realities present in the experiences of marginalized librarians and library users. Ettarh's critical work on libraries, labor, and identity has been published in In the Library With the Lead Pipe and edited collections, including the Critical Library Pedagogy Handbook and Knowledge Justice: Disrupting Library and Information Studies through Critical Race Theory. She has worked as both a school and academic librarian, has given invited talks at numerous professional and scholarly conferences and events, and is also the creator of the open-access video game Killing Me Softly: A Game About Microaggressions. 
     
    J.J. Pionke is an instructor of Information for Syracuse University where he teaches the disability and accessibility course.  He is an award-winning librarian who is known for his work on disability and accessibility for patrons and employees.  When he is not advocating for embracing accessibility within the profession, he can be found reading, needlepointing, and videogaming while his two Maine Coons nap nearby.
     
    James W. Rosenzweig is the Education and Children's Studies Librarian at Eastern Washington University and has worked as an academic librarian for over 13 years. His research interests in LGBTQIA+ inclusion in children's literature, in innovative source evaluation models, and in the history of indigenous boarding schools in the United States all converge on the central importance of elevating marginalized voices in every area of academia and society at large.
