Where: via Zoom (see below)

Trevor A. Dawes, will be presenting on the broader issues of equity, diversity, and inclusion in academic and public libraries.  He has worked on an Anti-Racism Talent Management Audit through Ithaka (https://sr.ithaka.org/blog/launching-an-anti-racism-talent-management-audit/) as well as work being done with OCLC on their Reimage Descriptive Workflows program (https://www.oclc.org/research/areas/community-catalysts/reimagine-descriptive-workflows.html). The recent push to ban books in libraries related to EDI has been of great concern to many and his work counters that trend.

He has worked in the academic library sector for over 20 years developing and providing a range of service-enhancing training and professional development opportunities that positively impact library-wide projects and programs. He also facilitates workshops on leadership development and diversity, improving the knowledge, skills, competencies, and abilities of librarians and library workers. A published author and presenter, Dawes has written or edited books, book chapters, and articles, and presented on a variety of topics at local, national, and international conferences. Dawes earned his Master of Library Science from Rutgers University and has two additional master's Degrees in Educational Leadership and Educational Administration from Teachers College, Columbia University.
