Apologies for cross-postings. 

 

Dear ASIS&T members, 

 

Registration for the Diversity by Design (DbD) symposium in Toronto is now
open. The symposium will take place in Toronto, ON, over the gorgeous early
autumn days of September 13-14, 2017. We have a limited number of spots
available for the symposium, and they are filling up fast.  Fortuitously,
the symposium will also take place against the backdrop of the Toronto
International Film Festival (TIFF; https://www.tiff.net/
<https://www.tiff.net/tiff/> tiff/), and the lucky attendees will be able to
enjoy the best of Toronto's diverse and creative artistic landscape, and
constellations of international stars. 

 

Please visit the symposium site at : https://www.
<https://www.idiversitybydesign.com/> idiversitybydesign.com/ and register
through Event Brite at: https://www.

We have an impressive line-up of keynote speakers https://www.

Please view the draft program here:

session:  <https://www.idiversitybydesign.com/poster-session/>

In particular, we ask department/program directors and chairs to encourage
their Master and Ph.D. students interested in diversity issues to consider
attending the symposium. We will have a limited number of small travel
stipends, generously provided by the the Ontario Library Association, and
graduate students will constitute a priority category for these stipends.
While these stipends cannot fully offset travel and accommodation costs,
they will provide an incentive to join the conversation. 

 

The symposium is free but registration is mandatory. 

 

 <https://www.idiversitybydesign.com/venue/> We are looking forward to
seeing you in the beautiful city of Toronto, ON, in early fall.
