| In our new online course starting April 26, Equity in Action: Solidarity in Social Justice, you will explore the building blocks of social justice at the library and how to work in solidarity with all members of your library community. Through our speaker program and workshop, you will learn how to ensure that equity work is inclusive of all people, including staff and patrons, by centering the lived experience and priorities of those most directly impacted by injustice, understanding the issues and their context and finding appropriate ways to respond to complex situations.
Developed and led by experts in the field, the three-week program includes live sessions on Tuesday, April 26, May 3 and May 10, from 2:00-4:00 pm ET with an asynchronous, facilitator-led workshop in which you’ll define and complete a project that inspires action in your community.
We are thrilled to share our phenomenal guest speaker program with you, featuring sessions with Alessandra Otero-Ramos, Arts and Humanities Librarian at SUNY Geneseo, who will discuss how to handle microaggressions in the library and workplace, and Clayton A. Copeland, Ph.D., Professor University of South Carolina, who will explore how to align accessibility and inclusion to advocate for disability justice at your library. You won’t want to miss it. |
