In #DeCoGLAM, we will have a launch event in Glasgow on 7 May and a workshop on 6 June: www.eventbrite.com/e/generative...). This is a free event but booking is mandatory.
Generative AI, Digital Heritage, Racialised Gender, Race and Ethnicity
An event bringing together experts to explore how AI impacts cultural heritage and racialized identities.

In #DeCoGLAM, we are keen to explore how decolonising collections interacts with decolonising #curricula. In the next months, we will be hosting a series of #events in Glasgow and will be creating 🎙️ #podcasts on relevant topics. If you are keen to be involved, get in touch!

The #DeCoGLAM list was started by the team from the University of Strathclyde, which works on building a community of professionals, academics and citizens interested in #decolonising collections in Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums (#GLAMs).

Three years ago, we published a special issue of @iflaglobal.bsky.social Journal which explored how #COVID impacted innovation in #libraries. doi.org/10.1177/0340... What motivates libraries to innovate today?
