International Responsibilities Task Force News
by Al Kagan, African Studies Bibliographer and Professor of Library Administration Emeritus - University of Illinois, Urbana Champaign
The International Responsibilities Task Force will present a program at the annual meeting in Chicago with Bill McKibben, acclaimed author, environmentalist, and activist. His books have been published worldwide in over 20 languages. In 2014, he was awarded the Right Livelihood Prize, which is sometimes called the "alternative Nobel."
McKibben is co-founder and Senior Advisor at , an international, grassroots climate movement that works in 188 countries that, among other things, organizes rallies and spearheads the resistance to the Keystone Pipeline. This organization is also credited with beginning the fossil fuel divestment movement.
McKibben suggests that we see climate change as a threat on the order of World War III and respond accordingly. Once we accept the seriousness of the threat, we can make societal shifts similar to those experienced in the 1940s wartime era and move to renewable energy, energy efficiency, and energy storage. There is great urgency to his message as climate change is happening more quickly than scientists anticipated. McKibben argues that the status quo and doubt are luxuries we cannot afford. The nonviolent war that McKibben proposes will save lives and has the potential to produce millions of jobs.
The talk will be co-sponsored by the Sustainability Round Table, Asian Pacific American Librarians Association, and the American Indian Library Association. Details on the program's place and time will be available shortly.

Martin Luther King, Jr. Task Force News
by LaJuan Pringle, Library Manager -- Charlotte Mecklenburg Library
The Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday Task Force is preparing for the Midwinter Meeting in Atlanta. Our signature event, the Martin Luther King Jr. Sunrise Celebration is scheduled for Monday, January 23, 6:30 a.m., at the Georgia World Congress Center, Room B302-B305. The keynote speaker for this event will be Dr. Daina Ramey Berry. Dr. Berry is a specialist in the history of gender and slavery in the United States, with a particular emphasis on the social and economic history of the nineteenth century. She is currently Professor of History and African and African Diaspora Studies at the University of Texas at Austin. Patty Wong, County Librarian and Chief Archivist for Yolo County, California, will deliver the Call-to-Action address. A long-time leader in the field of librarianship and in the work of equity, diversity, and inclusion, Wong has held elected positions on 91´«Ã½ Council and the 91´«Ã½ Executive Board. This year's theme is "Freedom Ain't Never Been Free." The program continues our longstanding partnership with the Black Caucus of the 91´«Ã½ (BC91´«Ã½). The Task Force is very excited about this year's program.
Are you interested in being a part of a group that is dedicated to moving the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. forward? Are you interested in working on a Task Force that connects modern day librarianship with social justice? If this appeals to you, please consider joining the Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday Task Force. The Task Force works with BC91´«Ã½ to coordinate the annual Sunrise Celebration that takes place during Midwinter. We are also looking for ways to fuse librarianship with modern social justice movements (Black Lives Matter, Don't Shoot, etc.) as well as support 91´«Ã½'s efforts in solidifying equity, diversity, and inclusion throughout both the Association and our profession. If you are attending the 91´«Ã½ Midwinter Meeting, I invite you to join us for our task force meeting on Friday, January 20, 7:30 p.m. at the Georgia World Congress Center, A304. If you are unable to attend Midwinter, but are still interested, please contact me by email. Thank you.

Essay: Social Work for Librarians: Cultural Humility
Submitted by Sara Zettervall, Whole Person Librarianship
This essay is an edited from the Whole Person Librarianship blog, founded and maintained by Sara Zettervall, Librarian at Hennepin County Library system in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area of Minnesota. The post makes references to other online materials, which we continue to link in this issue. Many thanks to Sara for allowing us to reprint this post in this issue of the SRRT Newsletter.
One of the foundational concepts of social work is "cultural humility." Cultural humility builds on the belief that each person is an expert on his/her/their life and recognizes that our cultural experiences shape how we view the world. We each exist at the intersection of various cultural spheres, and we make assumptions about how the world works based on that perspective. Our responsibility as human servants committed to social justice, whether we are social workers or librarians, is to foster awareness in ourselves that our perspective isn't the only one and trust in others when they speak about their own lives.
I've had this concept in mind since before the election, when I encountered it in the of the introductory social work course on edX, but post-election it has become even more relevant to library work. Some aspects of cultural humility were familiar to me and may be to you as well, whether you've heard this particular term before or not. The call for allies to support individuals and groups rather than try to speak for them is an example of cultural humility. Shailene Woodley does a good job of explaining allyship in a video that was trending in November 2016:
Cultural humility goes a step beyond allyship, though, and asks us to actively and consistently remind ourselves that other perspectives are just as valid as our own. One useful comparison to make is cultural competence vs. cultural humility. Cultural competence calls for knowing about how to work with different categories of people. Cultural humility says that while knowledge can be helpful, the best way to know and understand another person is to maintain a state of openness, non-judgment, and curiosity. This is much more difficult than it sounds. We all bring cultural blindspots with us as we move through the world, and for most of us the only way to reveal those blindspots is through conflict. For example, a lot of folks who move from the east coast U.S. (where I grew up) to Minnesota (where I now live) will at some point find out they're perceived as brash, loud, and/or demanding by people who grew up here. There's nothing wrong with being outgoing and opinionated, and there's also nothing wrong with waiting until you know someone better to trust them with your thoughts, but bringing those behaviors together without thinking can lead to frustration and embarrassment. This is just a small example–it is nothing compared to the larger misunderstandings that can easily happen when we assume that what's comfortable to us will be comfortable to others as well. When we take on cultural humility, we are taking responsibility for treating those embarrassing moments of misunderstanding as learning experiences. We pledge to ourselves that we will swallow our pride and have empathy for the other person.
Sometimes, the stories we need to hear and the things we have to accept aren't comfortable and will conflict with our own beliefs. One local example involves our large population of Somali immigrants in Minneapolis. Somali women born in Somalia have some of the highest rates of female circumcision (or female genital mutilation) in the world, upwards of 90%, and often with the most extensive cutting. Healthcare workers in Minneapolis, most of whom aren't from the Somali culture, began to find that they had to cut women open and sew them back up again when they gave birth (so that they have a vaginal opening large enough for the baby to pass through; cutting is safer than letting scarred skin stretch and tear). While that's customary to many Somali women, it was a surprise to the health care providers. Many of those health care providers object to FGM as a cultural practice, but they are tasked with supporting mothers for whom that decision had passed long ago. Eventually, many providers recognized that their role had to be preparing the mothers who were already cut for the reality of birth with their existing bodies, and also preparing their fellow providers to treat the Somali women's bodies with respect. There are now some prenatal classes for Somali women that normalize the circumcised birth experience.
Most of our interactions in the library aren't that challenging, but we all know that public service brings us into contact with the full spectrum of human experience and opinions. Cultural humility supports the understanding that libraries can't ever be neutral and challenges us to think about whose perspective we represent in our collections and programs. Who aren't we hearing? Who are we silencing? Following the recent election in the U.S., librarians have stepped up to show how knowledge can help bridge the ever-widening bipartisan gap, as exemplified by Libraries Respond. In the spaces we create, we can let cultural humility be our guide. We can't dictate a perspective, and we can't be passive in the assumption that we're neutral (a great cultural blindspot for librarians). What we can do is hold space for the voices of our patrons. Create conversations. Facilitate dialogue. Model with our own behavior what it means to be a flexible and empathetic human being. This is always challenging work, but it's also our most important work.
