there was a professional development/faculty day on diversity and inclusion and one of the keynote workshops was "women's civil rights, liberty and sharia" by prof. MUSLIM APOLOGIST.

i'm at the reference desk and a woman in a head wrap hijab comes with a young man...kinda trashy arabic guy. she stands kinda behind him and to his side and speaks to him in lovely accented, but like international school, english. he says in a gruff manner "my wife needs help with research for class".

the entire reference interaction is like this where he is the intermediary between him and his wife. his wife, btw, was probably an 8...possibly even a 9. he was a 3. and she was very likely +4 SD iq.

not that this is sjw per se. just...feels related.

Urgent Reference in Trumps America

We welcome submissions for Lightning Round presentations on the theme of Urgent Reference in a post-Trump climate.

Students and patrons are approaching the reference desk at a time a buzz with questions of misinformation & disinformation & accusations of “fake news” & “alternative facts.” Providing reference has become differently urgent as the stakes for a Critical Information Literacy - for an informed citizenry at a time when the very definitions of “information” and “literacy” are called into question - are suddenly, jarringly high.

This spring the **** will focus on Reference Work in this new climate. We believe that Reference Librarianship, in particular, is now, and has always been an avenue for “care work.” We seek to create a climate to come together and discuss our practice, showcase tools for research, interrogate systemic and evolving needs and to brainstorm and support one another in finding solutions.

Urgent Reference as it relates to:

• News related to the Trump administration in general

• Healthcare/Affordable Care Act

• Issues on Immigration Legislation

• Executive Orders and governmental procedures

• Working through “fake news” /”alternative” “facts” with students

• Determining the best ways to supply students with tools for informed responses Etc.

We consider Urgent Reference to mean reference work that directly:

• Seeks to uncover current events

• Sources news and various forms of media

• Can differentiate between Right and Left politics

• Provides support to vulnerable communities

• Provides support to activist communities

• Provides Critical Data Literacy

• Has a hand on the pulse of controversy

derangement much?

prof goes to latina student and asks about her research topic, the papers are vaguely about white privilege, and the prof says in like a dainty voice: "did you narrow down between 'motherfuckers' and 'burkinis'?
