SCRLC Webinar: Shifting the Narrative – What does it mean to center BIPOC library worker needs?

June 25 @ 10:00 am - 11:30 am EDT

In the last four years, library employees have experienced and witnessed the need for workplaces to center their employees’ well-being and how vital psychological safety, emotional intelligence, mental health, and trauma-informed care are. In Fostering Wellness in the Workplace, Twanna Hodge states, “No matter where you work, you have a right to a physically and emotionally healthy and supportive workplace” (p. 48). For Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) library workers in traditionally and predominantly white institutions, psychological and emotional violence is constant and harmful.

This session will focus on how institutions can center the needs of BIPOC library workers and how BIPOC workers can incorporate self-care and self-advocacy strategies into their practice.
