I am Master’s student in the School of Library and Information Studies, archival science) at the University of Alabama. I have created this Social Justice ePortfolio (SJ-eP) as part of my work for CIS 668 (Social Justice and Inclusion Advocacy) course during fall 2023. In my SJ-eP I propose social justice actions based on analysis of existing communication and information. I will focus on the disabled population and compliance with ADA as well as providing a visitor experience that is equitable to all other visitor experiences at the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute located in Birmingham, Alabama.
I also propose and implement very select responsive strategies and actions plan (as relevant) to further community needs, expectations, and representation in the specific setting and workforce environment of the communication agency or information organization to identify future directions of progressive growth and professional practice. The SJ-eP provides a glimpse of social justice actions proposed and/or taken through application of select systematic methods. It documents this process upon reflection of the limited experience to gather insights that can get operationalized in greater depth during future initiatives.
