Call For Proposals - DLF Forum 2020, November 9-10 | Digital Library Federation Forum

"...The explicit reckoning of the Black Lives Matter movement shows that pervasive racism persists and contributes to wrenching inequalities in the United States, especially among our Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) communities. CLIR/DLF has long recognized this inequity; diversity, social justice, and ungated access to cultural heritage have been integral to our mission. We reaffirm our commitment to continue pursuing greater equity and justice throughout the DLF Forum, working for and with our community to strive for inclusivity that prizes the chorus of diverse voices needed for a lasting equality. CLIR/DLF is therefore pleased to open a new call for proposals (CFP) for our online DLF Forum, which will take place alongside DLF-affiliated events during the week of November 9. While we welcome proposals from anyone with interesting work to share, the planning committee will prioritize submissions from BIPOC people and people working at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and other BIPOC-centered libraries, archives, and museums, in alignment with our commitment to do more to ensure marginalized voices have better and more central representation. To do so, we have self-identification options in the proposal submission form...."
