A podcast attempting to shine light on the radical inequities and the oppressive nature of the library profession, specifically as it pertains to BIPOC professionals and the communities they serve in the state of Oregon. An Oregon Library Association EDI & Antiracism production. This project was made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services through the Library Services and Technology Act, administered by the State Library of Oregon.

In the second episode of this two-part interview, we are chatting with C.A. "Dean" Deane, a law librarian moving between academic law libraries and law firms with the skill to think in big picture about what is fair and reasonable using a global perspective and an anthropological lens. With their ability to synthesize information from many different places, Deane brings knowledge and information together for us to see the landscape of disability justice in (law) libraries.

In this half, Deane will share thoughts, wisdom and stories about salary surveys, advanced degree requirements (should we or shouldn't we!? That is the question!), mutual aid, and hot tips for engaging conference experiences and sessions.
