Christiana Urbano: When you really feel like you are working with diversity in the professional field, if you’re doing it right, it’s hard, it's research, it's scouring professional publications and getting angry at the limited reviews, it's work - that's worth doing
Christiana Urbano: look to your own media diet; you can’t ask someone to go outside their comfort zone if you don’t; you can't put out diverse materials if you don’t know what is out there #diversityincollections
Rebecca Davis: Take any opportunity to attend professional developments meetings and conferences in regard to diversity. Two conferences that made an impression on me were National Diversity in Libraries Conference (NDLC) and Joint Council of Libraries of Color (JCLC)
If your colleagues won’t tell you what they make, and you don’t work for a public institution, the Bureau of Labor Statistic can at least give you a broad sense of what archivists make in your city. I used their info in my first-ever salary negotiation. #s208#NEAARTSP18
In 2004 only 2.8% of archivists identified as African American. More opportunities need to be available to high school and college students to do archival work. #NEAARTSP18 Afua Ferdnance
Collect local Spanish/English newspapers, high school programs. Document the community with the materials they create for consumption. #lawrenceHistoryCenter#NEAARTSP18
.@theleakypen "you statement" is counter-intuitive - but can be a simple, powerful recognition of feelings "you are angry" "you are sad" "you are disappointed" - a response to full emotional content #DERAIL2018 https://t.co/KehiU8GIlo
3 skills of de-escalation: 1) how to ignore angry words; 2) how to guess at the emotions under the words; 3) reflect back the emotions with a simple "you" statement #DERAIL2018

So fucking real. The forced intimacy of disclosure can be retraumatizing especially when you know there is always the risk of being met with abuse apologism and ableism (my comments) #DERAIL2018
