Description

Sophia Rodriguez, an assistant professor of Educational Leadership and Cultural Foundations at the University of North Carolina - Greensboro, will be giving a talk entitled "We're Building the Community; It's a Hub for Democracy: Lessons Learned from a Library-Based, School District Partnership to Increase Belonging for Newcomer Immigrant and Refugee Youth."

Drawing on a community-based, mixed-methods study, Sophia Rodriguez will discuss how one urban school district's partnership with a public library helped to increase social belonging for newcomer undocumented and refugee youth. Her presentation will describe the library's community practice of advocating for newcomers with meaningful programming to build understanding of community resources, local politics, and belonging.
