This year’s Research Forum will again\u00a0be held virtually, in the\u00a0afternoon of\u00a0April 26 and\u00a027 (Tuesday and Wednesday)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The annual Research Forum provides an opportunity for librarians, archivists, graduate students, teaching faculty, and information professionals to describe and promote their completed or in-progress research, practical case studies or projects. The Forum also provides a venue for researchers to seek suggestions for enhancing their research interests, to identify potential new partners for projects, to test the effectiveness of their undertakings, and to promote research in academic libraries.\u00a0Registration is free.<\/strong><\/p>\n This year’s plenary session will be a conversation with\u00a0David James Hudson, an award-winning writer, a library and information studies scholar, and an associate librarian at University of Guelph. David’s creative and scholarly work is primarily concerned with race, racism, and anti-racism, especially with the ways in which these phenomena have come to be conceptualized (both historically and in the present day) and the interests such conceptualizations have served. He explores such questions with particular attention to contexts of library and information work, Black diasporic life, colonialism, and capitalism. His writing has appeared in such publications as\u00a0up\/\/root*<\/em>,\u00a0Journal of Critical Library and Information Studies<\/em>,\u00a0Journal of Information Ethics<\/em>, and the edited collections\u00a0Topographies of Whiteness<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Information Ethics and Global Citizenship<\/em>. Information about these and other works can be found at his website<\/a>.<\/p>\n Themes<\/strong><\/p>\n Proposals are invited on research or case studies in any area of library and information science, including, but\u00a0are not limited to, the following ones.<\/p>\n Session Formats<\/strong><\/p>\n Presentation<\/strong> – A 20-minute\u00a0formal presentation, followed by a 10-min Q&A Language<\/strong><\/p>\n Presentations and posters can be in English or French.<\/p>\n Submission<\/strong><\/p>\n To submit a proposal, please fill out this form<\/a>.
