These issues of racial injustice extend to the library and information profession within Canada. As an initial step in addressing these injustices, we invite you to explore the topic with us alongside a panel of experienced library and information professionals. We seek to identify areas where we as individuals, institutions, and the field can grow and elevate practices to support our BIPOC colleagues and communities.
Panelists:
- Norda Bell: Associate Librarian, York University Libraries, York University
- David James Hudson: Librarian, McLaughlin Library, University of Guelph
- Ashley Edwards: Librarian, Indigenous Curriculum Resource Centre, Simon Fraser University
- Maha Kumaran: Associate Librarian, Education & Music Library, University of Saskatchewan
All questions will be moderated. If you are interested in asking the panelists questions, please email [email protected] prior to the event with your question. We will NOT be taking new questions during the event due to the nature of the content.
