Knowledge Justice at One

up//root is thrilled to sponsor the event, Knowledge Justice at One - A Celebration of the One Year Anniversary of Knowledge Justice: Disrupting Library and Information Science through Critical Race Theory.

Knowledge Justice is the first book-length text that utilizes Critical Race Theory (CRT) in Library and Information Studies (LIS). With contributions from 28 Black, Indigenous, and Peoples of Color scholars, educators, and practitioners, the foundation principles, values, and beliefs of LIS in the U.S. nation-state are challenged, while also imagining possibilities for justice to be actualized in the now and beyond. 

With the book in circulation for one year, we’ll host a discussion with the editors, available contributors, and special guests about how the contributions have been used throughout the year and their continued learning and research journey of CRT in LIS. 

This event is open to the public and free to attend. Speaker participation is sponsored by up//root: a we here publication.
