📚 News from Goldsmiths Library: we've launched our new Library Framework, our strategic plan for the next few years.
I'm most pleased our Framework is values-driven and hope it includes what you expect from us: focus on critical #infolit / #critlib, anti-racism and community.

Ever since Knowledge Justice's release, I've noticed that a lot of people seem unclear that CRT analysis can impact what day-to-day library work looks/feels like. This is what it looks like when @mariayakira.bsky.social, April Hathcock, and I apply CRT to our work together. #scholcomm #critlib

I’m looking for an accessible reading suggestion for non-librarians to better understand what an “archive” is and is not (vs a digital collection, a catalog, etc.) Any ideas? 🙏🏻 #DH #critlib

Screenshot of a 2025 Critical Pedagogy Symposium slide titled "Why attend Critical Pedagogy Symposium?" The slide notes there were "1080 RSVPs" and that many attendees were "excited for Mariame Kaba's keynote."
Kaba was why many (like myself) registered (1,080 RSVPs). I hadn't previously heard of Wallace, who authored The View from Somewhere: Undoing the Myth of Journalistic Objectivity, published in 2019 by the University of Chicago Press. www.lewispants.com/the-view-fro... #books #critlib #libraries
