Librarians, library staff, and library administrators are encouraged to attend to learn more about the historical and institutional inequalities that hinder our goals for equity in our workplaces. Participants will engage with the presenter and each other in identifying and breaking down the barriers and challenges that impede our communication, both internal and external.
