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.

    The Social Responsibilities Round Table (SRRT)'s Afternoon of Social Justice is back and better than ever! Join us for a FULL DAY of free, virtual programming as we look at the intersections of artificial intelligence (AI) and social justice. This dynamic series of sessions will critically examine how AI affects equity, accessibility, and transparency; explore its applications across diverse populations and settings; and discuss its broader social, environmental, and labor implications. From generative AI's influence on human creativity and information literacy to the ongoing challenges of digital equity, each session invites meaningful dialogue and collective action.

    Each session is free, but must be registered for individually. Sessions will be recorded.

    Please reach out with any questions to Rachel Rosekind, Programming Committee Chair: rosekindness@gmail.com
