We've been running the How to Build an Antiracist Library Cultureonline course for six years, and we've helped thousands of librarians create and sustain equity practices.
This 3-week, interactive course includes live sessions from experts as well as an asynchronous workshop in which you can practice new skills to take back to your library.
Upon completion of this course, you will be equipped to:
Evaluate your current DEI practices to engage in more authentic self-reflection and self-assessment
Use data to assess your organization's progress on antiracism initiatives
Use data to center communities and understand their programming and service needs
Employ participatory design to build programs and services hand in hand with communities
Recognize implicit bias and maintain a commitment to equity and antiracism during conflict
Recognize key diversity and cultural literacy concepts such as white privilege, cultural appropriation, and intersectionality
Assess current library programs through a culturally competent, antiracist lens
Recognize problematic stereotypes, tropes, acts of implicit/explicit bias, and microaggressions
