Conference on Academic Library Management

Kristyn Caragher (she/her)

University of Illinois Chicago
Assistant Professor and STEM Librarian

I like to geek out about organizational change, leadership, and how to make our organizations, and specifically libraries, more equitable and less hostile to BIPOC. My current research, alongside Tatiana Bryant, focuses on academic and public library employees' perceptions of racial equity in their institutions and their experience of racism within those very institutions. Let's connect!
