The People of Color in Library & Information Science (POC in LIS) Summit will take place on Friday, July 23rd, 2021 virtually via Zoom from 9:00 am - 3:15 pm PST. We are presently at full capacity. Please join our waitlist as space may open up closer to the event.

The mission of POC in LIS Summit is to create a productive and brave space for people of color, especially women and marginalized identities, working in the information sector. Information workers will have the opportunity to explore their work in LIS as POC and their intersecting identities as POC+ and information workers. This summit invites participants to challenge and interrogate their roles and actions as information workers. This summit aims to collectively establish rules of engagement and discourse, acknowledging that dominant narratives may be disrupted. This space is created to support the research of POC librarians and create a network of POC information workers for future collaboration and self-care. 

Zoom link will be sent 24 hours prior to event.
