OPEN CALL FOR RADICAL LIBRARIANSHIP INSTITUTE (RLI)
**Participation is fully funded for invited participants (this includes tuition, domestic airfare to/from Los Angeles, lodging in the award-winning UCLA dormitories, and many meals!). In addition, each of the participant's institutions will be awarded $10,000 to offset the operational costs of proposed programs. The RLI can accept 25 participants.**
The RLI aims to support library professionals by developing a systematized certificate-granting training institute to support the widespread programmatic, pedagogical, and complex requirements of justice work, and to push for systemic change. The RLI is both a summer intensive program and a nearly year-long program that supports the implementation of a community project at each participant's home institution. The program ends in a certificate offered by CalRBS.
The program features an in-person workshop July 31–August 4, 2023, when selected participants will congregate on the UCLA campus in Westwood, California, to embark on an intensive training program, supported by RLI faculty, CalRBS staff, and faculty of the UCLA Department of Information Studies, and followed by support throughout the year as students implement programs designed in the institute.
Deadline for first round review for RLI: March 3, 2023. Successful applicants will be invited for a second-round review.
