To have privilege means that we have advantages that others do not. Those without privilege -- those who experience disadvantages -- often do so as a result of systemic barriers.
Give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime. Seems simple enough, right?!! Join Lydia Moss as she prepares participants for a fishing trip, through the eyes of marginalized communities. Using real-world contexts, this presentation seeks to address the following:
- What is information privilege? What factors influence access to information? - What experiences/biases/privileges do we have that affect our ability to serve our patrons effectively and equitably? - What is the Saskatoon Public Library doing to try and reduce some of the barriers to information access?
Lydia hopes this description has you "hooked" ;)
