Dr Joe Sanchez and Dr. Nicole Cooke, The Augusta Baker Endowed Chair and Associate Professor at University of South Carolina, have designed and organized the Equity Diversity and Inclusion Series at the 83rd ASIST Annual Conference. The EDI Accelerator Series consists of invited sessions that critically engage equity, diversity, and inclusion in research, education and practice, both locally and globally. This new series will be facilitated by thought leaders who will mobilize the ASIS&T community around urgent information issues such as indigenous knowledge, cultural misappropriation, prejudicial ontologies, counter-narratives, social media activism, civil rights and poverty tourism, transformative information justice, information and technology deserts, biased algorithms, information advocacy, among others. Each session will identify future actions to advance EDI in the information field.
