I look forward to presenting at the conference and learning from other librarians and information professionals in the field who are interested in critical librarianship. I hope to find a network of peers who are engaged in social justice work.”
The Research and Scholarship Committee was unanimous in its decision to award Donna this year’s CAPAL student bursary. Committee Chair Melanie Boyd notes that Donna’s application was “thoughtful and thorough, and articulated keen interest in important issues facing academic librarianship today.” She adds, “It’s great to see this CAPAL bursary, valued at $500, go to a deserving student. The more LIS students at our conferences, the better. We benefit so much from their presence and fresh perspectives.”
Donna will be presenting a paper entitled “Decolonizing Academic Libraries: Critical Information Literacy and Truth and Reconciliation” at the CAPAL18 conference in Regina. Please join us in congratulating Donna; we look forward to seeing you at CAPAL18!
