Project Description
Unlike a typical library, a human library lets participants “check out” people instead of books. Humans instead of books become the vessels for knowledge sharing. The IUPUI Human Library will provide students with the opportunity to recognize and address their own stereotypes, prejudices, or general beliefs about diverse individuals and communities. Students, faculty, and staff from the Schools of Informatics and Computing and Liberal Arts, the University Library, and the Indianapolis Public Library will work together on this project designed to celebrate and engage with the great diversity of IUPUI’s student body.
