Speaker:  Mark Puente
Description: For several years in the library and information science profession, there has been momentum in shifting perspective, conversation, and analysis from a “diversity” frame to an “equity” frame. Although perhaps overstated, the global pandemic and an international movement for racial equity has forced many to rethink how and the degree to which we are personally and professionally accountable for creating a more just and equitable society. This presentation and discussion will challenge attendees to think about how managers and leaders can position themselves and engage strategies to initiate substantive change in the function and mission of the profession. Several models will be shared that can serve as tools for designing and assessing teaching and learning and other library programs that can advance social justice within our organizations and for the audiences served by libraries and archives.
