ABSTRACT:
Diversity, equity, inclusion (DEI), antiracism, and social justice are buzzwords in higher education and libraries right now. However, as a new graduate from San José State University’s School of Information, I am keenly aware that library and information science (LIS) professionals must actively work toward making these terms actionable. How do we situate ourselves in these conversations and activities? Through my research project for the Network of the National Library of Medicine (NNLM) Pacific Southwest Region (PSR) BIPOC LIS Student Professional Development Award, I have discovered Graphic Medicine can be used in healthcare and health sciences education to help nurture culturally competent care and empathy.
