We are currently conducting an analysis of school websites, specifically course descriptions, to determine the extent to which diversity is addressed in the curricula of LIS schools.  We realize that many such offerings fall under the label of “special topics” or “special issues” which have not been regularized into a school’s curriculum.  We would like to ask faculty who teach such courses to please respond off-list to Laurie Bonnici ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>) indicating the following:

1.       Course title

2.       Brief course description

3.       School affiliation.
Please pass this information on to any relevant faculty who may not be on this list to encourage inclusion of their course among the data collected.
Many thanks!
Laurie Bonnici (University of Alabama, SLIS) -  and - Stephanie Maatta (University of South Florida, SLIS)
