This podcast episode covers the connection of information and human rights, the history of information restriction in prisons, the present state, and the steps that are being taken to combat these violations. There is a call in the library world to start including incarcerated individuals in the conversation when it comes to book bans, censorship, and overall access to information, and these being a right that every human being should have.

Spring 2024 graduate of the Library and Information Science masters program at the Pratt Institute. I have a key interest in creating community engagement through collective spaces such as museums, libraries, and archives. I believe in the cultivation of inclusive environments within information spaces, as well as our society, through social justice practices.
