Keynote Presentation: Same, But Different - How 2020 stretched our teaching capabilities and strengthened our commitment to safety and inclusion

California Conference on Library Instruction 2021. Virtual Conference.

Nisha Mody, M. Wynn Tranfield, Doug Worsham

Abstract

In this talk we share the values, personal and shared, that guided our early pandemic response efforts, discussing the essential importance of centering student voices and creating anti-hierarchy and anti-perfectionist frameworks. We consider this work through the lens of the 'Showing Up for Racial Justice' toolkit, and draw practical take-aways to help participants foster antidotes to white supremacy culture in their own organizations.
