Abstract

Knowledge, as it has been shaped in the United States, is grounded in whiteness. As a result, maps and geospatial data can be particularly harmful in perpetuating historically and experientially inaccurate narratives of space. As stewards of knowledge, librarians are uniquely positioned to implement policies advancing antiracist practices. The following paper analyzes diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in cartographic collection development, metadata, and instruction, and discusses the opportunities for librarians to employ critical theory in their cartographic and geospatial library praxis.

反思空间馆藏开发、元数据和教学中的关键 DEI 实践

摘要

正如在美国形成的那样，知识以白度为基础。因此，地图和地理空间数据对于延续历史和经验上不准确的空间叙述尤其有害。作为知识的管理者，图书馆员在实施促进反种族主义做法的政策方面处于独特的地位。以下论文分析了制图馆藏开发、元数据和教学中的多样性、公平性和包容性 (DEI)，并讨论了图书馆员在制图和地理空间图书馆实践中运用批判性理论的机会。
