>> A special Issue of EDUCATION FOR INFORMATION on 
>> Race relations and racial inequity in LIS
>> https://www.iospress.nl/journal/education-for-information/ <https://www.iospress.nl/journal/education-for-information/>
>>  
>> In light of the recent events (i.e., protests and rising push against systemic racism) that are currently reshaping conversations around racial injustice and police brutality in the United States, as well as the overwhelming global support for the Black Lives Matter movement, this special issue aims to ensure that these transformations are reflected in the Library and Information Science discourse. 
>>  
>> Examining these current developments will provide an understanding of the dehumanizing treatment, which are key aspects of this racialized society - one that has institutionalized and normalized such behavior. Similarly, research on the systemic racism that underpins the social inequities that have been thrust upon Black, Indigenous, and Other People of Color (BIOPC) in the United States, will contextualize how these events have unfolded throughout history.   
>>  
>> This special issue, the first in a series, is intended to address the lack of research on race and inequity that currently exists in the field. 
>>  
>> The editors invite submissions that address these issues (from both national and global perspectives) as well as the more difficult issue of how systemic racism might be addressed in research, the classroom, and in the field. 
>>  
>> We welcome conceptual, methodological, theoretical, and empirical papers (approximately 6,000-8000 words) as well as shorter position papers (approximately 1,500 words).
