The ALA Social Responsibilities Round Tables (SRRT) is accepting proposals for our free virtual Afternoon of Social Justice event! SRRT believes social responsibility is a core value of librarianship and that library workers should work to address social problems and inequities. We are looking for presentations that reflect SRRT's promotion of social justice, human and economic rights, and progressive priorities within libraries and the library profession.
Possible presentation topics may include, but are not limited to:
Services to and programming for underrepresented groups
Abolitionism and prison libraries
Homelessness, poverty and libraries
Libraries and the LGBTQ+ community
Feminism and libraries
Library labor and unionization
International librarianship
Sustainability
Challenges to intellectual freedom
Progressive librarianship
Diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging
Accessibility
#critlib
Community partnerships
Education and training
Community health and libraries
Recordings of past sessions can be found on our Afternoon of Social Justice website. To be considered, complete proposals must include a title and abstract. Presenters must also agree that sessions will be recorded and publicly posted online to help ensure equitable access to our programming.
