Andrew Shenton – Journal of Information Literacy, 2023

Chancellor, Renate L.; DeLoach, Paige; Dunbar, Anthony; Lee, Shari; Singh, Rajesh – Education for Information, 2021
The death of George Floyd, at the hands of the Minnesota police on May 25, 2020, sparked a global uproar that many have argued has not occurred since the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s. It is unclear why this particular incident elicited such a visceral and widespread response, especially in light of the fact that police brutality towards…

Poole, Alex H.; Agosto, Denise; Greenberg, Jane; Lin, Xia; Yan, Erjia – Journal of Education for Library and Information Science, 2021
The field of LIS continues to face a vexing paradox. Its longstanding ideal of and concomitant commitment to serving diverse communities and users equally has failed to translate into diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the profession or in LIS education. This article analyzes efforts to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in North…
