A majority of faculty in the Department of Information Studies at UCLA have issued a “Statement from Information Studies Academics and Professionals on Documentary Evidence and Social Justice.” This statement reflects our support for the national and international calls to affirm that “Black Lives Matter” and recognizes how information faculty and professionals play an important role in fostering and affirming social justice through research, teaching and practice.
