Dear Arlisians, Are you headed to St. Louis for the 2020 ARLIS/NA Annual Conference? Are in interested in architecture, urbanism, city and regional planning, and how these issues interconnect with social justice and community engagement initiatives? The Architecture Section and Urban + Regional Planning SIG would love to hear from you! We are submitting a proposal <https://docs.google.com/document/d/16ftJDsHrb7O0DHlPng03CApe00Uq8cCKui9yHeyGkXw/edit?usp=sharing> together for the 2020 ARLIS/NA Conference and welcome ideas and participants! *Brief description:* We are proposing an interactive panel session that highlights methods for dismantling those structures that perpetuate discrimination through the lens of urban planning, concepts of the city (and who that has historically marginalized), and efforts to activate the important narratives of communities that thrive despite poor city planning and inequities. Against the backdrop of Saint Louis, we will consider other cities and consider how we, as information professionals, play a role through our unique roles to collect, preserve, archive community narratives and histories, as well as the ways in which librarians are collaborating with communities to reactivate landscapes through programming and instruction initiatives. *Call for presenters or moderators:* At this time, we are asking for any interested presenters or moderators. - Are you interested in presenting at the annual conference on our joint ARC/URP conference proposal? - Do you know any local projects, community activists, architects, street artists, etc. creating work that involves the themes outlined here? - Are you an early career Architecture or URP Librarian or an LIS student interested these fields that wants to co-moderate this panel? We look forward to hearing from you, if so. *The deadline for submission is Sunday, June 16.* -------------------------------------------------------------- Stephanie Beene Assistant Professor Fine Arts Librarian for Art, Architecture & Planning Fine Arts & Design Library <http://library.unm.edu/about/libraries/fadl.php> George Pearl Hall 435 The University of New Mexico Schedule an appointment with me! <http://libcal.unm.edu/appointment/19262> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mail submissions to [log in to unmask] For information about joining ARLIS/NA see: http://www.arlisna.org/membership/join-arlisna Send administrative matters (file requests, subscription requests, etc) to [log in to unmask] ARLIS-L Archives and subscription maintenance: http://lsv.arlisna.org Questions may be addressed to list owner (Judy Dyki) at: [log in to unmask] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
