Announcing IDEA’s Reading Group Discussions

The MiALA IDEA Committee invites you to the launch of their IDEA Reading Group Discussions. To continue to support the professional development and learning journey of the membership, the IDEA Committee plans to hold a two discussions during the winter semester, each featuring a reading related to inclusion, diversity, equity, accessibility, and/or anti-racism. These discussions are open to MiALA members and will be facilitated by IDEA Committee members.

Registration is required. In order to provide a space in which participants will feel comfortable to openly discuss the chosen reading, these sessions will not be recorded. Participants are asked to review the MiALA Code of Conduct and ensure that they feel comfortable acting according to these guidelines in order to participate in the discussion.
