As professionals whose work is centered in access, librarians across departmental domains have opportunities to use our expertise to facilitate reflection, dialogue, and action around diversity and inclusion in striving toward not just cultural competence, but cultural humility.
The fall program from the Delaware Valley Chapter of the Association of College and Research Libraries, Beyond Diversity Speak: Practicing cultural Humility in Your Library will be centered on the work being done in this area in the Delaware Valley Region.
In correlation with this event, the organization is seeking to support the library studies of an individual that is focused on helping to create a more equitable society. a $1000 scholarship will be awarded to a student enrolled in an ALA-accredited program to help offset the cost of educational expenses.
To apply, please submit your resume and a 250-500 word essay describing your interest in cultural humility in librarianship. Eligible applicants must reside in, work, or attend school in the chapter’s service area.
Deadline: Monday, October 14, 2019
