Lecture Regarding Diversity
By Donna DiMichele | November 8, 2019
Donna Lanclos, Ph.D, is presenting a lecture titled “Maybe We Shouldn’t Talk About Diversity Anymore” at the University of Rhode Island, Carothers Library, Galanti Lounge on November 13th, 2019 at 12 noon.
Donna Lanclos is an Associate Professor for Anthropological Research at the University of North Carolina in Charlotte and a consultant in higher education and libraries. She posits that, as a white woman, she is the beneficiary of the structural bias in favor of whiteness in libraries, and in academia generally. In this talk, Dr. Lanclos hopes to confront the harms done in talking euphemistically about “diversity” when what we should be talking about, professionally and as educators, is about race and social justice. She blogs about her work at www.donnalanclos.com
Attendees should preregister for parking. The Library is a 10-minute walk from the Welcome Center. CAMPUS MAP
