The purpose of this article is to center the experiences of librarians of color in academic libraries through a discussion of microaggressions and pandemic experiences of racial exclusion. Design/methodology/approach. It draws on a synthesis of the literature of microaggressions and the psychology of perspective taking to introduce a method to encourage empathy for the experiences of librarians of color. Findings. Employing empathy encourages connections between people and recognition of the experiences of racism for librarians of color, both overt and latent. These can be brought to light through perspective taking exercises. Recommendations for exercises are proposed with reference to existing literature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
