During this interactive three-part webcast series, authors and editors of ACRL’s Ethnic Studies in Academic and Research Libraries will provide a platform for enhanced discussion around Ethnic Studies and librarianship. Participants will appraise library support for Ethnic Studies programs/departments, either personally or collectively based on presented models, and weigh the importance of enhanced support of these programs/departments to their library and patrons. We’ll discuss the differences between Ethnic Studies support and DEI work and will highlight why this is important. Webcast series registrants will receive a complimentary ebook copy of Ethnic Studies in Academic and Research Libraries.Webcast One: Liaison Work
Wednesday, April 13, 11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. Central

Webcast Two: Collections
Wednesday, April 20, 11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. Central
Panelists will highlight key ideas that were a part of their collections decisions and will define how these collections decisions are key to Ethnic Studies work, rather than DEI work.

Wednesday, April 27, 11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. Central
In the final discussion, panelists will focus on how their positionality may impact their Ethnic Studies collaborations.
