<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif">The program is in three parts. First, Fobazi Ettarh gives a presentation explaining the term she coined “vocational awe” and how it is prevalent in library
work. In the second part of the program, Fobazi engages in a dialog with librarian Erin Kelsey from the State Library of Ohio to dig deeper into the concept and themes of advocacy, culture change, and vocational awe and white supremacy. Lastly, Fobazi addressed
questions from the audience.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
