How do we do social justice work in the library? Two groups from across CUNY will share their experiences, strategies, and next directions. First, faculty from Queensborough Community College will discuss their Faculty Inquiry Group (FIG) on integrating social justice themes (particularly racial justice and economic justice) into information literacy and library instruction to support curriculum and assignments, while also providing students opportunities for questioning and impacting real world policies and practices. Panelists will discuss the development of the FIG and its activities, as well as their experiences working with social justice in the classroom. Session participants will have the opportunity to collaborate on an activity based on those experiences. Next, colleagues from the Graduate Center will explore libraries as racialized spaces. From the materials we choose to collect, preserve and discard, how we describe, organize, and circulate those materials, to the communities we invite in, exclude, and police, no element of library work is untouched by the systemic inequalities that structure all of social life. Librarians will share an analysis of libraries and racism from our roles in resource sharing, collections, scholarly communications, and personnel management. Following this introduction to the racial stakes in knowledge institutions, participants will engage in an interactive exercise meant to demonstrate the ways white supremacy structures scholarly norms that we too often accept as natural and inevitable.
