Adapting an HBCU-Inspired Framework for Black Student Success in U.S. LIS Education
Ndumu, Ana; Walker, Shaundra
Education for Information, v37 n2 p219-229 2021
This perspective essay explores Gasman & Arroyo's (2014) HBCU-inspired framework for Black student success as a prism for re-envisioning LIS education. In response to calls for anti-hegemonic LIS education, the authors discuss a potential tool for Black student success and suggest its benefits to LIS education. The framework can introduce non-white, anti-racist educational practices to the work of educating the U.S. library workforce; it is relevant in light of ongoing racial and political strife in U.S. society.
