In 2022, the Joint ALA/ARL Building Cultural Proficiencies for Racial Equity Framework Task Force developed the Cultural Proficiencies for Racial Equity: A Framework (CPRE Framework). The purpose of the CPRE Framework was to introduce a library-focused tool, both theoretical and practical, as a guide for developing personal, organizational, institutional, and systems-level knowledge and understanding of the nature of racism and its many manifestations.
Using the CPRE Framework as inspiration, this four-part, interactive training will invite participants to begin thinking about tangible, actionable steps towards using the Framework in their organizations. Each week, a guest speaker will share methodologies for applying the information found in the CPRE framework. Participants will then have opportunities to ‘imagine’ the possibilities of their own efforts during collaborative breakout sessions.
