Fridays in May: Queer BIPOC Conversations
From a Peer-Networking Program of Information Workers
Fridays in May: QBIPOC Peer-Networking Program which aims to supply QBIPOC information professionals and students an opportunity to engage in a peer network across disciplines and institutions. Though COVID has shifted many to have solitary library school experiences, or lack of site-based learning, Fridays in May will supply participants with forums for exploratory and site-based conversation in a peer-based community setting, creating an opportunity for skill-sharing, info-gathering, networking, and peer-mentorship. This program will include in-person tours, workshops, and mediated conversations led by, with and among QBIPOC library, archives, and information professionals across NYC metropolitan area on topics related to engagement, exhibitions, collections processing, queer histories, professionalism in queer contexts, and more.
