TALK | Shushing the Librarian Stereotype 
Wednesday, March 11, 6–7:30 p.m.
Playground Bar & Lounge Rooftop
278 E. Congress St., Tucson, AZ

What does a librarian look like? The librarian stereotype has been popularized in film, television and books, but what are these stereotypes and how did they originate? The way librarians are portrayed is often tied to librarianship being a woman-dominated field with historical expectations for simultaneously serving as stern authority figures but also as caregivers. Nicole Pagowsky and Cindy Elliott, faculty librarians at the University Libraries, will discuss these stereotypes, their implications and how they diverge from the actual work of the profession.

Hosted by the Confluencenter for Creative Inquiry, part of the Show & Tell Lecture Series
