Registration is open for the Georgia Library Association’s next Carterette Series webinar, “Using University Archival Materials to Teach Social Justice Topics”. This free event will take place on Wednesday, December 10, at 1:00 PM CDT.
Description
Students’ interest in social justice research has increased in the last few years. Archives provide compelling, personal, and time-specific materials, and these primary sources contain rich documentation on social justice issues which can also give researchers insight into how they may wish to address the same or similar issues in the present day. The presenters will draw on their experience as archivists and librarians at an HBCU to cover the value of archives and the importance of social justice in explaining how students and other researchers can effectively frame research questions, locate relevant archival sources, and analyze these sources by using analytical social justice frameworks. The presentation will conclude with a discussion on how to evaluate the effectiveness of student work.
Information on the presenters is available at the registration link below.
