Exploring Equity and Inclusion in Digital Scholarship – In our fall conference we hope to explore issues of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the creation and dissemination of ETDs. This important topic, however, is not one that is frequently discussed. In this Community Engagement Group session, we’ll be having an open conversation about DEI and how it relates to our work with ETDs. What are some of the challenges our students encounter? What challenges do graduate school and library professionals encounter? Audiences and readers? Has your university done anything to embrace DEI or have you noticed possible barriers? How can we act as advocates? We’ll discuss these questions and more at our session with the hopes of proposing a panel session or a speaker at our conference.
Anyone interested in signing up to participate in the group should complete this form. If you have questions please contact Emily Wuchner at wuchner2@illinois.edu.
