What you see is NOT what you get -- stereotypes, power, privilege, and bias
Why can't we just get along -- Microaggression, Macroaggression and Hate
Libraries and library workers interested in examining racism, bias and inequity have a new tool to do so. The University Libraries at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has released the syllabus of its recent 21-Day Racial Equity Challenge focused on libraries and archives.
The syllabus is the work of the University Libraries’ IDEA (inclusion, diversity, equity and accessibility) Council. It is part of the Library’s Reckoning Initiative, which commits to using equity, inclusion and social justice as a lens for its work.
Speakers: Dr. Khaleel Seecharan and Dr. Reima Shakeir
Colleges must be prepared for the increasingly diverse experiences and expectations of students, faculty, and staff. As early 2020, Census data indicates, the future of higher education is diverse. As colleges develop and advance a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), the experience and perspectives of Chief Diversity Officers and DEI professionals can inform how campuses can avoid common missteps while gaining knowledge of best practices.
Join panelists Dr. Khaleel Seecharan and Dr. Reima Shakeir as they share insights on navigating institutional DEI change at a variety of institutions, as well as their expertise in hyphen-identities and decolonial organizational development.
