Thank you to everyone who joined for my Keynote: The care that binds: of stories yet untold #ALN22! Sharing my slides and a poem that follows the journey of a person looking for hope in libraries. Kindness and compassion can bloom ☺️ canva.com/design/DAFCA2N…

An excellent talk by Frances Murphy (Manchester Uni) on making customer service recruitment more inclusive so that it reflects the diverse student body. Featuring a fantastic 'Equality & Diversity wonderwall' ! Received positive feedback from candidates. #ALN22

Really fascinating material on Inclusivity & Digital Archives from Adam Matthew Digital in the presentation by Dr. Laura Blomvall. Reminding us of the problem of the archive. Check out this too socialismonfilm.amdigital.co.uk #ALN22

In her presentation, Dr Blomvall (AMDigital) spoke of colonial perspectives, cultural bias and exclusion, using Hilary Mantel's quote on History: "..it is the method we have evolved of organising our ignorance of the past." #ALN22

The Panel discussion tackled the problem of barriers to HE for working-class students, as well as their experience within it, as Alison Hicks (UCL) said "there is more work to be done" both by CILIP and every library. #ALN22

Thank you so much to the panel for their insightful comments on active approaches to inclusivity 👏👏👏 #ALN22

Johnson is the third PM to fall in six years because there is no solution to the deep economic and environmental crisis we face that picks our pockets and steals our future. Real change isn't a new Tory PM but a new politics to redistribute wealth and power.
