2022 IRDL Scholar’s Speaker Series
 

The IRDL Scholars Speaker Series is designed to shine a spotlight on voices and ideas that challenge traditional ways of conducting research. It surveys various topics, including specific research methods and critiques of processes associated with western social science approaches, with the intention of inspiring research explicitly rooted in social justice. As librarians, educators, and researchers, we welcome this opportunity to reflect and incorporate what we learn from these speakers into our own research efforts, so that our methodologies integrate anti-racist and anti-colonial practices.

The series is coordinated by a working group of IRDL Scholars. Each speaker session is free to attend via Zoom; anyone interested is welcome. Please see below for the speakers and the dates of their presentations, to register. The hashtag for the events will be #IRDLSpeakers.

This project was made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services RE-40-16-0120-16.

  • Intersectional Qualitative Research: Centering Race and Gender to Conduct Humane and Ethical Research by Jennifer Esposito

    Intersectional Qualitative Research: Centering Race and Gender to Conduct Humane and Ethical Research

    Jennifer Esposito

    Dr. Jennifer Esposito is a Full Professor and Department Chair of Educational Policy Studies at Georgia State University. Her research takes an intersectional approach to qualitative research, centering race and gender. As an interdisciplinary scholar, she sees critical theories as tools to interrogate social life and solve problems related to the material consequences of oppression and privilege. Her most recent co-authored book, Introduction to Intersectional Qualitative Research teaches novice researchers how to design and carry out studies from an intersectional perspective. Another co-authored book, Intersectional Analysis of Popular Culture Texts: Clarity in the Matrix applies an intersectional lens to analyze different popular culture forms. Dr. Esposito was trained as a qualitative methodologist over twenty years ago by the late Dr. Sari Biklen at Syracuse University. When she is not nerding out about methodology, she plays poker, reads fiction and poetry, and spends time with her daughters and spouse.

  • Story Craft: Developing Interpretive Narratives Using Storying Stories by Emily Ford

    Story Craft: Developing Interpretive Narratives Using Storying Stories

    Emily Ford

    Emily Ford is an associate professor and an urban & public affairs librarian at Portland State University Library in Portland, Oregon. She loves stories. She is curious to understand what makes people tick and how we can connect in community via lived experience. Although her research is focused on opening scholarly peer review, she views the peer-review system as one comprised of human experience stories. Her book, Stories of Open: Opening Peer Review through Narrative Inquiry, will be published by ACRL Press this Spring. When not immersed in stories, she is most likely found trail running, practicing yoga, or petting her cats and her pet rats.

    Emily is the featured speaker for the Story Craft: Developing Interpretive Narratives Using Storying Stories event on December 14, 2021, 12:00-1:30 p.m. PST. This hands-on workshop is moderated by IRDL Scholars Catherine Baird and Dana Thompson.
