Virtual book launch of Re-making the Library Makerspace

by RoryLitwin

Please join us for the (virtual) book launch of Re-making the Library Makerspace Critical Theories, Reflections, and Practices, from Library Juice Press, edited by Jennifer T. Nichols and Maggie Melo. The volume offers chapters that acknowledge power and structural inequity, reflect on moving forward toward social justice, and celebrate successes and progress. The four sections of the book include the following:

  • Who Belongs in the Makerspace? Power and Critical Theories
  • Movement, Empathy, and Inclusion in Youth Makerspaces
  • Counternarratives
  • Re-imagined Makerspaces: Policies, Procedures, and Culture 

We invite you to join us for a thoughtful discussion with chapter authors about the content and structure of the book, as well as a timely conversation of the impacts of COVID-19 on current makerspace practice.

When: Jan 29, 2021

10am PST/1pm EST

To celebrate the book’s launch, we will raffle two copies of the book during the event.
