The event is inspired by SRRT's broader effort to encourage expansive, provocative, cross-disciplinary conversations that center intersectional issues and struggles. We invite provocative and engaging explorations of the convergences, tensions, and disjunctions between abolitionism and library work as well as the many other areas of action, engagement, and inquiry that abolitionism touches on. Potential topics include arts programming, literacy, and educational opportunities in prisons; policing and public safety; prison and jail libraries; racism and mass incarceration; parole, probation, and reentry; youth justice; information access and censorship in carceral settings; inside organizing; and more-Please visit the event page for more suggestions. We expect that many presentations will discuss the work of libraries and librarians, but we also hope that, in the vein of knowledge justice (i.e., What counts as knowledge? Who defines knowledge and how it is expressed, used, and understood? Whose knowledge is valued, uplifted, and preserved?), we spotlight issues, experiences, and voices that deepen our understanding of how information is of use and put to use in carceral settings, as seen through the lens and in the voices of incarcerated and formerly incarcerated people themselves. *We will compensate all people with lived experience expertise for their participation in these proceedings.* The following website provides a detailed description of conference scope, call for papers, suggested topics, and link to the speaker/panel submission form: www.ala.org/rt/srrt/events/... <https://www.ala.org/rt/srrt/events/abolitionist-visions-intersections>. *Submissions are due February 15, 2024.* Event registration will open mid-February. *Please reach out to Rachel Rosekind for more information: [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]>. *And please share within your networks of interest. ------------------------------ Rachel Rosekind Educator, Editor, Writer, Activist, Library Commissioner Write You Are / Contra Costa Library Commission ------------------------------ *Forward <https://connect.ala.org/srrt/communities/all-discussions/forwardmessages?MessageKey=02230c15-e032-472a-a45b-cbc408551279&ListKey=6a80cb4d-e78f-4ca4-80e0-f4e006c2c4d2>* You are subscribed to "SRRT (Social Responsibilities Round Table)" as [log in to unmask] To change your subscriptions, go to My Subscriptions <http://connect.ala.org/preferences?section=Subscriptions>.
