“…Recently, Punzalan and Caswell () consider some of this scholarship. Tracing the concept of social justice in the archival science literature, they identify a tendency to adopt a legalistic, human‐rights framework that does not sufficiently take into account non‐western perspectives.…”

This panel invites participants and panelists to consider together how archives and other information institutions might work with and engage communities experiencing ongoing and extreme (neo)colonial violence and oppression. We begin from a perspective that suggests that community and/or autonomous archives that reflect community perspectives and histories may indeed have the potential to support the efforts of these same communities to grapple with complex and violent (neo)colonial histories and experiences and to re-story dominant narratives that serve to stigmatize and marginalize them. This panel explores both the possibilities and limitations of antiviolence archival interventions from a number of angles, including: interrogating the role of the archivist in community archiving; reflecting on how partnerships can be built between archival institutions and communities; and considering how anti-violence, anti-racist, decolonizing, and feminist theoretical frameworks can aid archival interventions that speak to the efforts of communities aimed at overcoming structural violence and erasure. Drawing on the archival experiences and practice of panelists, this panel poses a series of questions to the audience to generate discussions aimed at drawing connections between relevant theories, and practical and technical considerations in the service of anti-violence archiving.

Teaching intersectionality: Pedagogical approaches for lasting impact

Recently there have been calls to study and apply critical theory and tools around social justice, and intersectional approaches of race, anti-racism, gender, sexuality, disability and accessibility, and class in Library and Information Studies (LIS). But applying lasting techniques in the LIS classroom require pedagogies that are intersectional, assessable, and apply lasting change for the student. This article argues for impactful approaches to intersectionality-the inclusion of multiple identities and subjectivities such as race, gender, sexuality, and class-to LIS in three parts: (1) Teaching critical theories alongside traditional LIS texts, (2) using systems of assessment for cultural competencies and analysis, and (3) classroom activities that implement metacognitive change. These approaches in the LIS classroom can demonstrably move LIS students into a deeper critical analysis of power in libraries that will be applied throughout their careers.

“…Un hito en este sentido lo constituye la intervención de Randall Jimerson, en el contexto del coloquio Memoria para la Justicia celebrado en la Fundación Nelson Mandela, en el 2005, allí Jimerson abordó los impactos reales y potenciales que pueden tener los archivos en la realización de la justicia social (Greene, 2013). Así mismo, orienta los análisis que relacionan los archivos con la justicia social la obra de la profesora Michelle Caswell, especialmente su investigación sobre los acervos fotográficos derivados del régimen represivo de los Jemeres Rojos en Camboya (Caswell, 2010;Caswell, 2014a;Punzalan & Caswell, 2016). Igualmente, David Wallace representa un referente importante, especialmente sus pesquisas sobre el archivo y la configuración del pasado y el presente y sobre el impacto de los archivos en la Justicia social (Wallace, 2006).…”

ResumenEste artículo presenta un balance de las investigaciones, producidas en las dos úl-timas décadas, que estudian las relaciones entre archivos, derechos humanos y memoria colectiva. El análisis de los numerosos trabajos que abordan estas tres categorías es clasificado en cuatro enfoques: 1) la concepción del archivo como evidencia de violaciones a los derechos humanos; 2) la revisión crítica del rol que cumplen los documentos, los archivos y los archivistas en la construcción de la memoria colectiva; 3) la justicia social como guía orientadora de la praxis archivística; y 4) los archivos como lugares de memoria y territorios de disputa acerca de los distintos sentidos del pasado.Palabras clave: archivos, derechos humanos, memoria colectiva, estado del arte, archivología. Archives, Human Rights and Collective Memory. A Review of the International Academic Literature AbstractThis article features a summary of studies produced over the last two decades that research the relationships between archives, human rights and collective memory. The analysis of the numerous works that address these three categories was classified into four approaches: 1) the concept of archives as evidence of human rights violations; 2) a critical evaluation of the role of documents, archives and archivists in building collective memory; 3) social justice as a guide of archival praxis; and 4) archives as places of memory and territories of dispute related to different senses of the past.
