This is a recording of the on-demand program during the 2021 ALA Annual Conference.

The panelists included:
- Emily Knox, Ph.D. (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign)
- Renate Chancellor, Ph.D. (Catholic University of America),
- Stacy Collins, MLIS (Simmons University)
- Adriene Lim, Ph.D. (University of Maryland).
The session was sponsored by ULS, the Anthropology and Sociology Section, and the Politics, Policy, & International Relations Section, and was moderated by Alyssa Denneler (Indiana University-Bloomington).
