Eclipsing Inequality: the Librarian’s Role in Advancing Social Justice
When: Friday, April 29, 2024
Where: Syracuse University, Rochester, Albany, or Zoom
Registration for our 2024 ALLUNY Spring Institute, “Eclipsing Inequality: the Librarian’s Role in Advancing Social Justice” is now live, with registration closing on Wednesday 4/10/24. Please register online at https://alluny.org/?page_id=148. The themes of this spring’s conference will be access to justice, intellectual freedom, diversity, and using technology to help underserved populations. Speakers from varied organizations will address social justice, valuable tech, diversity, and the impact that librarians can have on libraries, legal work, and access to justice.
Because our hybrid 2024 Annual meeting last September was a hit, we are expanding our offerings this spring. We will host this event at three separate in-person sites (Syracuse, Rochester, and Albany), and we’ll also provide the option to attend virtually, for those of you who want to participate but cannot make it to any of the physical locations.
Registration fee is $30 for members, $35 for non-members, and $15 for students regardless of which method of attendance you select. We hope to see many of you there! And please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
Thanks so much!
