Humanizing LIS Education and Practice: Diversity by Design
demonstrates that diversity concerns are relevant to all and need
to be approached in a systematic way. Developing the Diversity by
Design concept articulated by Dali and Caidi in 2017, the book
promotes the notion of the diversity mindset. Grouped into three
parts, the chapters within this volume have been written by an
international team of seasoned academics and practitioners who make
diversity integral to their professional and scholarly activities.
Building on the Diversity by Design approach, the book presents
case studies with practice models for two primary audiences: LIS
educators and LIS practitioners. Chapters cover a range of issues,
including, but not limited to, academic promotion and tenure; the
decolonization of LIS education; engaging Indigenous and
multicultural communities; librarians' professional development in
diversity and social justice; and the decolonization of library
access practices and policies. As a collection, the book
illustrates a systems-thinking approach to fostering diversity and
inclusion in LIS, integrating it by design into the LIS curriculum
and professional practice. Calling on individuals, organizations,
policymakers, and LIS educators to make diversity integral to their
daily activities and curriculum, Humanizing LIS Education and
Practice: Diversity by Design will be of interest to anyone engaged
in research and professional practice in Library and Information
Science.
