Diversity Group Conference 2010: "An Inconvenient Truth: Race, Class and Libraries"
Monday 14 June 2010. CILIP HQ, Ridgmount Street, London WC1E 7AE.
The CILIP Diversity Group is pleased to announce that booking for their 2010 conference is now open.
Our political leaders may well insist that that race and class are no longer relevant in the 21st century, but we in the CILIP Diversity Group know that these are issues that still impact heavily on both library staff AND our service users, and we think you would agree with us. We hope our conference will provide healthy debate and information on different aspects of race, class and libraries. The playwright, author and critic Bonnie Greer will be our keynote speaker.
For more information and online booking go to the CILIP Diversity Group's website: www.cilip.org.uk/dg
Bookings and payment must be made by Friday 28th May 2010.
