Future Prof Series - Centre for Teaching & Learning

This series of interactive seminars provides valuable insight into teaching and career-strategies across the disciplines. The workshops in this series are constantly evolving to meet the current interests of graduate students and postdoctoral scholars, and to align with emerging trends and best practices.

Diversitying Citations and Perspectives

September 24, 1:00pm-2:30pm *online/virtual*

This workshop analyzes racial bias in reference lists and notes, what has come to be known as the "politics of citations". Library catalogues and databases generally do not provide metadata on race, gender, and ethnicity, how is it possible to discover multiple perspectives? Learn about how academic libraries are organized and strategies to develop more inclusive citation practices.

Learning outcomes:

-Review the role of citations in academic research

-Articulate how the "politics of citations" influences scholarship

-Develop strategies for finding sources that reflect multiple perspectives
