The Association of Research Libraries (ARL) is accepting proposals through Friday, September 15, 2023, for the 2024 Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility in Libraries & Archives (IDEAL) Conference, to be held July 15–17, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
The conference theme is Sustainable Resistance and Restoration in Global Communities.
To be considered, proposals should include:
- Title of session
- Abstract (up to 1,500 characters, including spaces)
- Learning outcomes
- Outline
- Keywords
Proposals should consider how the content of the session connects to the larger landscape of diversity, equity, inclusion, accessibility, and justice (DEIA/J) and how the session reasonably engages adult learners.
The internal review process is masked; no personal identifiable information (such as names, institutions, social identities) should be included in the proposal. These pieces of information will be collected separately.
The deadline to submit proposals is Friday, September 15, 2023, 11:59 p.m. Hawaii–Aleutian time zone (UTC-10:00).
We look forward to reviewing your proposal and creating a well-rounded conference for our attendees!
