Such projects\, and therefore our cultural memory institutions\, ex ploit incarcerated people. As the for-profit prison industry only continue s to grow and disproportionately affects Black\, Indigenous\, and people o f colour\, it is imperative that historians and members of the information profession recognize our contributions to this moral wrong and consider m ore ethical alternatives.\n \n Coffee and snacks will be provided. Attendees are welcome to bring a brown-bag lunch as well.\n \n This is a hybrid event .
