This week we’re joined by Dr. Jeanie Austin to discuss their research on information services for incarcerated people. We discuss the way mailroom policies and content bans have inherent anti-Black and anti-LGBT bigotry, and how these policies cut off incarcerated people from their communities. We talk about how LIS as a field has abandoned its role in providing information services to incarcerated people and how we can learn lessons from the librarians of the 70s.
