The Library as an Incubator of Multicultural Awareness

 

Presented by:

  • Orlando Duffus, The University of North Carolina at Greensboro
 

Description:

Human beings are ethnocentric; we often see the world through our own narrow view and judge the world by what is familiar to us. This event created a dialogue about uncomfortable topics such as discrimination and stereotyping. Having these difficult conversations helps the Library to develop a strategic vision that will accommodate and promote optimum transparency and inclusion of all the members within the university’s community. This poster walks through the ways in which the Library utilizes the Diversity Resident Librarian to partner with other university departments to create a new campus initiative. The pool of diverse beliefs and thoughts provided useful insights that impacted the new strategic vision of the library and the university.
