Social Media + Leadership + Engagement

I was musing on twitter about recent calls on the ALA Council list to create a code of conduct specific to social media use -- presumably to control how councilors use their personal social media accounts, since the ALA social media tool, Connect, already has its own code of conduct. I was also contemplating public spaces and what kinds of rights and responsibilities one has when engaging with public spaces. (I know a lot of people like to cite Rawls in this arena, but I suggest instead Nussbaum's critique and expansion of Rawls to deliberately include disabled people.)

In terms of social media as a public space, I think of it as a public park. If you're like me, you find a picnic table that looks to be in a nice spot, sit down with a snack and a book, and enjoy the fresh air and squirrel watching. Or maybe you're there with convivial fellow picnickers and joking around using language you wouldn't use at work. Maybe people walk by that you want to say hi to (like your boss). Maybe people walk by that you want to ignore (like your boss). Maybe you start casually talking with fellow picknickers about how the park needs improvement in a certain area -- I'm guessing those conversations wouldn't be like a formal letter you'd write to the city council? Maybe someone is giving a performance or a speech and you wander over to enjoy it, or to mock it. Then some rough-housers come through and you decide to go back to your table to avoid the drama. But then as you're walking back, some jerk comes by and makes a lot of creepy remarks on your body -- what then? In a social media environment, you might be able to use a block button on that one account and mute certain words from people you don't follow, but that won't necessarily stop people from contacting your work email, phone, library administration, university administration. 

But that kind of harassment also happens at library conferences and in reaction to formally sponsored library events, as many prominent advocates in the area of equity, diversity, and inclusion have experienced and spoken about.

Anyway, as I was musing to myself about what a Council social media Code of Conduct would be intended to do, Anna J. Clutterbuck made the following comment: 
"I would definitely want research driven guidelines that account for how digital spaces reflect inequity & Black women face vastly more harassment and violence for simply existing than most of their white colleagues"

In my own musings, I had been wondering what kind of behavior the Committee on Professional Ethics has been discussing for the past year -- the troll accounts I regularly see targeting Councilor April Hathcock and library director Chris Bourg, which often seem to have been created by librarians? It probably wouldn't control things like the library director who saw my tweets critiquing an article he wrote and sent a patronizing email to my work account, so would it be aimed at stopping me from publicly engaging with library scholarship? How about the random people who spout vitriol and nonsense? Or me for blocking those random potential or current ALA members? Or maybe me for co-hosting a #critlib chat in response to the events at the last ALA Council? How about the librarian who sent to a journalist a screenshot of the notes I took while live-tweeting the Robin Di'Angelo presentation with a directive to "please investigate this?"

However, I suspect COPE's discussions this year have been about trying to control April Hathcock. Because April is a Black woman who is incredibly intelligent, writes with impressive clarity, and does not sugarcoat her critiques of racism, cisheterosexism, classism, or ableism within the profession. This makes her a threat to existing power structures. I am not privy to the notes COPE has presumably taken during their meetings, but I can put pieces together based on patterns within society at a broad level. As Sara Ahmed says, "When you expose a problem you pose a problem."

It's possible I'm wrong though. I'm wrong more than I'd like. And in the case that I am, I thought it would be worth compiling a list of research on the topic that could be used to create a Code of Conduct that doesn't perpetuate this sort of unequal harm.

What other writings would you add to this list?

thoughts on communicating value

https://twitter.com/schomj/status/1007405284569083904

image text: I used to believe that if we can "prove/communicate" our value we'd actually be valued but then I started trauma therapy and realized this is abuser logic. Yes, I'm being completely serious right now. 

1. I have a lot of other writing projects in the works, so don’t have time to write this up as a Real Thing right now. If anyone wants to take this idea and run with it, feel free.
2. I’ve spent the past 15 years working in a mid-sized, comprehensive, public university in the U.S. that’s accredited by HLC. It’s been too long since I’ve worked in a special or public library for me to pretend to have any real insights into that. That said, if you are a public library worker and are interested in pursuing this topic, but haven’t received the training to turn your ideas into written publications, contact me here or on twitter and I’d be happy to do what I can. There’s a lot of shit happening with this stuff in public libraries and not enough of it is making the published literature.

A few years ago, Angela Galvan made a comment on twitter about how, in a capitalist system, we show our appreciation by paying people. This is heavily paraphrased, and her account is usually locked so in respect for her privacy I’m not going to post a link. (Assuming I could find that precise tweet. Locked accounts + searching = failure. One thing twitter does right!)

What does that mean for libraries and library workers? If the legislators, trustees, city councils, etc. actually valued libraries, we’d be funded. Instead of getting funded, we are getting increasing demands to “prove our value.”

This year, my institution started a process of Strategic Budget Planning, in which we submit assessment information and the institution decides whether we get put in the increase, maintain, or reduce bucket. This is in addition to our normal program review process, by the way.

This budget planning process seemed to me to be very closely modeled on our accreditation process—that is, we were asked to talk about what kinds of assessment and quality improvement processes we are engaged with according to a precise template. Does this actually tell the institution that as a library, we’re awesome at supporting student learning? Eh, I’m skeptical. Does it tell them that we’ve mastered bureaucratic hoop-jumping? Yes. 

My takeaway: Our value is determined by our ability to engage in administrative-heavy assessment processes and effectively write about them in bureaucratic language. Thanks to the number of library workers we have and to ongoing efforts in that direction, we’ve gotten very good at that (several of us started seeing this writing on the wall a while ago). As the library’s department chair, one of the roles I have is the person who does a lot of this paperwork so my colleagues can do actual library work. (The gendered nature of this work is also interesting, but a topic for a different time. If that’s your jam, I’d highly suggest Veronica Arellano Douglas and Joanna Gadsby’s paper on the undervaluing of feminized work.)

When I tweeted the original statement above, someone asked if the demand to “prove value” is a deliberate digression that makes it harder for us to actually do the work. I don’t think that, but it’s possible. It’s not the model I’m working under, but I wouldn’t discount it.

What I actually had in mind was more in line with George Lakoff’s work on narrative framing in relation to my experience as a survivor of emotional abuse. 

The people in control of funding (are they really in control? That’s another question) set up conditions you have to meet in order to get funded. Maybe they’re realistic! Maybe they actually have the money! Maybe if you follow all the steps in the right order at the right time with the right documentation, you’ll actually get what you’re asking for! Maybe.

But what happens when you don’t get that money?

Is the funder saying “sorry, totes my fault, I flaked on paying you” ?

Or is the funder saying “I never promised and that’s not really what the conditions were and anyway you did it wrong and besides you don’t deserve it and your demands for money mean that you’re greedy and that means you should be punished” ?

Gaslighting: a form of emotional abuse that abusers use to maintain power and control, and make the abused feel dependent

Emotional abuse: creating conditions where you feel like you’re constantly monitored, maybe isolated, maybe forced to witness other forms of abuse as a threat. Once again, the goal is for the abuser to maintain power and control

Anyway, that’s what was in my mind when I made that tweet. And I’m about out of spoons, so going to end this here.

What’s the next step? I don’t have one. But for library people, I would recommend reading Emily Drabinski, Sam Popowich, Angela Galvan. Join a union. Start a union. Don't expect the union to work magic when the cultural narrative is framed this way, though.

The only thing I do know: this isn’t a thing that any one individual can take on, we need to work together.

Because I can, I’m going to end this with the immortal words of Beyoncé
