Keynote speaker Nicola Andrews
Gleeson Library, University of San Francisco
In this presentation, Nicola Andrews will
explore ways in which historical trauma surfaces within
libraries, and highlight the tricky balancing act Indigenous
library workers undertake as practitioners who are accountable
to their Indigenous home communities, and their colonized
workplaces. Using a range of industry research, observation,
and Indigenous research methodologies, Andrews will give an
overview of how Indigenous peoples and their knowledges are
situated throughout the library and information science (LIS)
landscape, and how we need to look beyond recruitment pipelines
for sustainable answers to underrepresentation in the
profession.
Nicola Andrews is a member of the Ngāti Pāoa iwi, currently
residing on unceded Ramaytush Ohlone territory. As the
Instruction/First-Year Experience Librarian at the University
