We held our first of three Decolonising and Diversifying the Library<\/strong> lunchtime seminars last week, on the topic of Diversity in First Year Scots Law Reading Lists<\/strong>.

\"Opening<\/a><\/p>\n

We’ve got two more sessions scheduled in this mini series, starting with tomorrow’s look at Supporting diversity through the ECA Library Zine collection and Artists Books collection\u00a0<\/strong>with Academic Support Librarian Jane Furness. Join Jane at 1pm on Thursday 14th July<\/strong> to hear about the ECA Library artists\u2019 books and zines collections and the ways in which they celebrate the diversity of makers working in these fields today. Book using this link to the MyEd booking system<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The following week we have a special showcase of the work of our Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Digital Engagement intern, Tristan Craig: Diversifying your Reading from a Student Perspective : Digital Engagement (EDI) Internship Showcase<\/strong><\/p>\n

Promoting the use of a diverse range of sources has several pedagogical benefits. It encourages students to become more autonomous learners by going beyond their reading lists and to think critically about the types of sources they\u2019re engaging with. It also prompts them to consider the historical biases inherent in the dissemination of knowledge and look for a variety of voices to conduct more balanced research.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In this presentation Tristan will reflect upon his experiences and discuss how staff can support students to become confident in finding and using diverse sources. To book for this session on Thursday 21st July at 1pm<\/strong>, use this link to the MyEd booking system<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n
