NEW! Fostering inclusivity in the library

How do we turn our “good intentions” into daily actions that create inclusive environments?

In this course we’ll examine ideas of neutrality, unnecessary barriers, and impacts of language. You’ll get practice recognizing subtle obstacles and coming up with creative solutions, and leave the course with new tools to build equity and make inclusion more consciously and concretely a reality.
