VIVA Anti-Racism Webinar Series - Spring 2021

[tcassidy]

"VIVA is developing a webinar series about a broad array of anti-racist topics and approaches.  The goal of this series is to build community through conversation, creating a space where people can talk through their projects, engage with scholars, and learn what libraries could and should be like if in fact libraries value diversity, equity, and inclusion. A task force has been created to help build cohesion across the series and recommended speakers both within and outside Virginia."

Many thanks to Heather Blicher, JS Reynolds Community College, for representing VCCS on this VIVA Task Force!
