In Fall 2018 UGA Law Library changed the orientation process for incoming students.

Racialized Youth And The Public Library: A Critical Race Theory Approach To Program Utilization And Effectiveness, Amber Matthews

FIMULAW

My research aims to reverse racial neutrality in public libraries by demonstrating how ambivalence about race perpetuates systemic inequalities and the disengagement of racialized youth. It draws on interdisciplinary research to show how the race-blind approach is not reflective of the needs of communities being served. Using a Critical Race Theory (CRT) framework, I show that public libraries can implement processes to gather race-specific data under the recently-implemented Anti-Racism Act (2017). This will provide a contextual understanding of the racial make-up of users and provide a valuable frame of reference to support efforts to build stronger and more effective relationships.

The Role Of Embodied Information In Becoming Anti-Fragile: Through The Lens Of Ultramarathon Running, Jeremy Thompson

FIMULAW

Individuals are capable of putting their bodies and minds through incredible challenges and hardships, accomplishing goals that were thought to be impossible. Through these embodied informationally rich experiences, the potential to become stronger or rather anti-fragile in the face of physical and emotional adversity, may lead to strengthened mental health and the ability to cope well with future adversity. Using an ethnographic methodological approach centering on autoethnography, this proposed research asks ‘using the case of ultramarathon running, how do embodied information experiences in nature support antifragility and mental health and wellness?’

Expectations Of Canadian Life, Actual Post-Arrival Experience, And Pre-Arrival Information Seeking: Results From A Study On Bangladeshi Immigrants In Canada, Nafiz Zaman Shuva

FIMULAW

In this poster, I present findings from my doctoral study on the transitional information practices of Bangladeshi immigrants in Ontario, focusing on the tensions between pre-arrival expectations and actual experiences of Canadian life and on pre-arrival information practices. I conducted surveys (n=205) and semi-structured interviews (n=58) to understand my participants’ settlement information practices. It is evident in my study that there is a significant gap in Bangladeshi immigrants’ expectations of Canadian life and actual post-arrival experience that can be analyzed in terms of information experience, especially in terms of employment expectations and mental preparedness for changes in life circumstances.
