Episode 7: Facilitating EDI Conversations with Leah Larson, Nicole
Rawlinson & Priya Charry

In this episode, we talk with librarians Nicole Rawlinson, Priya
Charry & Leah Larson about the intricacies of navigating conversations
around equity, diversity and inclusion in the workplace. The trio
emphasizes the importance of holding space for these conversations,
the challenges of doing so as marginalized individuals, and why
libraries should be working on the retention, not just hiring, of
BIPOC employees.

This discussion was inspired by a presentation led by these three at
the 2022 Public Library Association conference entitled, “Facilitating
EDI Conversations in Professional Settings and Public Programming.”

Date of interview: July 25, 2022
Hosts: Brittany Young and Ericka Brunson-Rochette
