Libraries and archives can play a vital role in the privacy journeys of our users, but teaching privacy in an approachable way can be difficult! As information workers, we can offer digital defense best practices to our communities in a way that recognizes both the comfort levels and tech literacy levels of our learners. Using Library Freedom Project's harm reduction approach, Tess Wilson will share practical ways to teach our communities about online privacy, the risks involved with sharing personal data, how to develop and teach a security mindset, and more.

Public and academic library and archives workers, community data workers, and students are invited to join us for this interactive workshop to discuss digital privacy in their institutions, assess the risks to vulnerable populations, and share resources for continued learning.

Following the program, participants are invited to stay for lunch and discussion. Please RSVP here to indicate your interest in attending the workshop and lunch.

This program is supported by the Bernadette Callery Archives Lecture Series, the Sara Fine Institute, and the University Center for Social & Urban Research.
