[Libs-Or] [FYI]The Work of Women of Color Academic Librarians in Higher Education: Perspectives on Emotional and Invisible Labor

[Matthew Baiocchi]

Great read. We need to be better for our BIWOC colleagues!

"Furthermore, the expectation is that emotional regulation is performed in interactions not only with patrons, but also with colleagues and managers. The way the service of librarianship is “laying claim” to our emotions echoes library scholar and activist Fobazi Ettarh’s [8] critical examination of librarianship and the expectation that for librarians, “fulfillment of job duties requires sacrifice.” Her concept of vocational awe"

"Microaggressions include the everyday slights, indignities, and insults that people of color, women, LGBTQ populations and those who are marginalized experience in everyday interactions. [17] For BIWOC librarians, “these subtle blows are delivered incessantly,” [18] are not so subtle to those experiencing them, can prey on intersecting identities, and can come from both library users and co-workers."
