“WHEN THEY GO LOW”: PREPARING INFORMATION PROFESSIONALS FOR THREATS OF VIOLENCE IN LIBRARY WORKPLACES

Research output: Chapter in Book/Entry/PoemChapter

Abstract

This chapter is a witness and testimony to epistemological issues that arose as virtual workplace violence in the form of Zoombombing during the increased use of the Zoom platform during the COVID-19 pandemic. An autoethnographic approach to the author’s experience as a library and information science scholar and public speaker conveys ways in which virtual violence on Zoom created visceral trauma of epistemicide. The autoethnography begs the question of how we actualize self-care virtually as well as socially in the LIS workplace.
