Librarians Being Open-Minded Professionals: Fostering Diversity, Inclusion,
& EquityDiversity Webinar Series
<https://ischool.sjsu.edu/webcasts/librarians-being-open-minded-professionals-fostering-diversity-inclusion-equity>

Librarians are the gateway for change in our communities, in corporate
America, and educational systems. In 2020, our society is still attempting
to find ways to include all individuals by fostering the awareness of
diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). The problem with this notion is
many fail to conquer the first step, which is being open-minded. In a
profession where we reach doctors, lawyers, engineers, entrepreneurs, and
most importantly our youth, we must step out of our comfort zones to learn
beyond our educational practices. To truly assist in our profession, we
must accept a new proposal: dismiss preconceived notions and practice
“open-mindedness,” which is the first step to fostering diversity, equity,
and inclusion.

What is Mindfulness, Anyway?Diversity Webinar Series
<https://ischool.sjsu.edu/webcasts/what-mindfulness-anyway>

Everyone’s talking about it as a way to de-stress, be more productive, and
improve mental health. It’s now a billion-dollar business that includes
corporate trainings, apps, products, and online courses… but what actually
is mindfulness, anyway? This webinar will examine the recent popularity of
mindfulness in Western society, as well as its history and tradition as a
Buddhist spiritual practice. What parts of mindfulness have been embraced
and adopted by our culture, and which portions have been ignored? What do
its proponents rave about, and what do its critics argue? Is mindfulness a
cultural movement, or is it a fad? Is it a spiritual endeavor, or an
intellectual one? Is it political or apolitical, activist or apathetic? Is
it an example of globalization, or is it cultural appropriation? These are
some of the questions that will arise during the exploration of this topic.
You’ll come away with a greater understanding of mindfulness, be able to
detangle the ongoing conversations surrounding it, and perhaps develop a
curiosity to learn more!

Information in MigrationDiversity Webinar Series
<https://ischool.sjsu.edu/webcasts/beyond-routine-library-services-immigrants-discussion-role-information-migration>

Library services to immigrants have historically followed a narrow service
provision model that overlooks the broader role of information and
libraries in migration. In this presentation, Dr. Ndumu will discuss the
cross between libraries, social inclusion, and push/pull migration factors.

library ideology on immigrants.
