Becoming Comfortable with Being Uncomfortable: Moving from Awareness to Action in Librarianship – Thursday, October 8, 2 pm ET

On Thursday, October 8 at 2 pm ET, please join iREAL for Becoming Comfortable with Being Uncomfortable: Moving from Awareness to Action in Librarianship. Attendees will explore how librarians encounter discomfort when confronting issues such as racism, bias, microaggressions, power, privilege, exclusion, and institutional inequity-and how avoiding discomfort can unintentionally preserve the status quo. This session will be presented by iREAL Executive Committee members Simone Yearwood, Consuella Askew, and Yuzhou Bai. Advance registration is required.

This session is sponsored by iREAL, a community for academic library workers committed to racial justice and organizational improvement. Learn more on our website.
