In this thought-provoking session, Dr. Villagran dives into a project called Culturally Competent Research in Library and Information Science—but don’t let the long title scare you off. It’s all about how researchers can do a better job working across cultures, building diverse teams, and asking questions that don’t leave people out. Whether you’re curious about how research gets done or want to learn more, you’ll get a peek behind the curtain at how cultural awareness (or lack of it) shapes everything from who gets asked to participate to how results are interpreted. Grab your drink, pull up a chair, and join us for stories, insights, and a few “aha” moments about why culture matters in research—and what we can do to make it better.
