Diversity and Inclusion Committee
Committee Charge
The ARLIS/NA Diversity and Inclusion Committee provides leadership within the society by reflecting on and enacting the core values of diversity and inclusion across all aspects of art librarianship. We offer the society guidance in welcoming and centering historically marginalized people, voices, and narratives through the lens of equity and justice. The committee creates and provides educational opportunities and resources related to equity, diversity, inclusion, and justice. Through building collaborative partnerships with the ARLIS/NA Executive Board, Committees, Sections, and SIGs, we work to foster anti-oppressive professional practices and identify ways ARLIS/NA can divest from white supremacy, colonialism, and all other forms of systemic oppression.
