Season 3, Episode 5: OER and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Join us for the final episode of the Library Sessions IPA (Inclusive Pedagogical Activities), our series with the CARLI Instruction Committee. Last but definitely not least, Jen and Marielle interview Chris Davidson, Campus and Community Engagement Librarian, and Lauren McKeen, Librarian and Web Manager, both from the Northwestern University Libraries. Chris and Lauren talk about how their campus approaches diversity, equity, and inclusion in both physical and digital spaces, how OER connects with those initiatives, and how librarians might be able to embrace OER and open pedagogy in their own teaching.
