Anti-Racism Immersion Program: Conversation with Comprehensive Directors Online

The nation’s academic libraries strive to ensure the highest quality user experience for all members of the academic community, including our diverse students and faculty. To meet this need, our profession for decades has been trying to recruit more librarians of color, with unsatisfactory results. Binghamton, CUNY and Rutgers, with support from Ithaka S+R, are developing the Anti-Racism Immersion Program in Academic Librarianship. This will be an ongoing summer immersion program to enhance the skill-base for librarians in providing service to BIPOC faculty and students and will include the development and implementation of a new model for measuring organizational implicit bias.

Join Curtis Kendrick, University Libraries Faculty & Staff Mentor, and Nancy Abashian, Ph.D., Senior Director for Public Services and Inclusion, Diversity Equity and Accessibility (IDEA) from Binghamton University, to discuss the potential program and share your perspective as a cohort of comprehensive college library directors.  We value your feedback and will take it into consideration when designing the program.
