Welcome to Fall Forum Extra, a podcast feature following the 2021 ARL Fall Forum hosted by K. Matthew Dames, Edward H. Arnold University Librarian at the University of Notre Dame and the 61st president of the Association of Research Libraries.

The Fall Forum is an annual event sponsored by ARL. Held in October, the Fall Forum provides a moment for the research community to assemble, exchange ideas on an issue of importance and interest, and serve as a catalyst for collective action.

One of the 2021 Fall Forum’s sessions was entitled “Creating an Equitable Workplace.” Alexia Hudson-Ward led that session, and is this podcast's special guest. Given the complexity of the topic and Alexia’s expertise, we wanted to discuss this issue more thoroughly beyond the conference session. This Fall Forum Extra episode is the follow-up to that October session.

Alexia Hudson-Ward is the associate director for Research and Learning at the MIT Libraries in Cambridge, Massachusetts. In her role, Hudson-Ward leads the libraries' community-facing service portfolio and its full range of services that support research and learning.

This was recorded in December 2021.
