Apprenticeships, MLIS Students, and Neurodiversity: Centering the Humanity of Student Workers, Part 2

Abstract

Academic Library Workers in Conversation is a C&RL News series focused on elevating the everyday conversations of library professionals. The wisdom of the watercooler has long been heralded, but this series hopes to go further by minimizing barriers to traditional publishing with an accessible format. Each of the topics in the series were proposed by the authors and they were given space to explore. This two-part conversation demonstrates that student labor is labor and that our student workers and apprentices need room to grow and advocate for their own needs. This is the essential continuation of last month’s conversation.—Dustin Fife, series editor
