Share Outs from the Diversity and Inclusion in Information Architecture Practitioners Roundtable

March 24, 2019
2:15 PM – 3:00 PM

“Diversity is going to the party. Inclusion is being on the party-planning committee.” [Verna Meyers]

Diversity and inclusion are imperative for anyone practicing information architecture. Categories, labels, and complex information spaces being built today will inherit value judgments by those who create them, impacting anyone else coming into contact with the frameworks that are built. On top of that, our society is changing as digital natives approach classification and naming differently from those who came before them.

Join in learning what was discovered and built by a dynamic collection of adventurers, thought leaders, teachers, researchers, and other curious folks who explored how Information Architecture should foster diversity and inclusion in complex information spaces.

This session is sponsored by the 7th annual Academics and Practitioners Roundtable.
