SRRT (Social Responsibilities Round Table)

 View Only
last person joined: 13 hours ago 

The Social Responsibilities Round Table works to make ALA more democratic and to establish progressive priorities not only for the Association, but also for the entire profession. Concern for human and economic rights was an important element in the founding of SRRT and remains an urgent concern today. SRRT believes that libraries and librarians must recognize and help solve social problems and inequities in order to carry out their mandate to work for the common good and bolster democracy.

    Information & Democracy: Education, Access, Libraries, and Society (ID:EALS) Symposium

    Free Virtual Event

    April 16, 2024

    For more information, visit the Symposium website

     

    The Institute for Information Literacy at Purdue invites you to the  annual symposium Information & Democracy: Education, Access, Libraries, and Society (ID:EALS). The ID:EALS symposium spotlights innovative research and facilitates dialog amongst those working to combat misinformation, fake news, and other unethical uses of information affecting our society.

     

    The theme for this year's symposium is Information & Identity. This event will showcase various scholarly approaches exploring how information is used to disempower and empower communities. ID:EALS will feature researchers whose work investigates the role of information literacy related to identities, such as race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, and more.

    Keynote speaker Dr. Megan Threats will present "InFormation for Health Justice: Utilizing Intersectionality Theory in (Health) Information Practices Research." Dr. Threats will describe how she utilizes an intersectional research approach to examine the health information practices of minoritized communities and how those practices are shaped by racism, sexual orientation discrimination, and other systems of oppression. Dr. Threats' talk will share her emergent model for health justice informatics with attendees.

    Invited speaker Dr. Michael Ann Devito will present "Combating Epistemic Injustice and Securing Sociotechnical Visibility via Algorithmic and Allied Literacies." Her research focuses on unfairness embedded in internet systems, the effects this has on the LGBTQ+ individuals, and ways to create more equitable online spaces.

    This year's ID:EALS Symposium will also feature a research showcase, artist talks, and presentations showcasing the accomplishments and projects of the Institute for Information Literacy at Purdue.
