It's time to ACT UP: How privilege shapes academic conversationsKelly Wiegand, Auburn University
This presentation will describe how the ACT UP evaluation tool (Stahura, 2018) was used to frame class discussion on the use of concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs). Students participated in a lecture on how animal agriculture may be contributing to human, animal, and environmental welfare, then were tasked with listening to a podcast that explores how dietary changes may lead to long term environmental change. During the following class, students were challenged to consider who was contributing to the conversation, what biases they may have, and whose voices were missing.

A project to develop training materials to assess the welfare of horses, poultry, and shelter dogs provided an opportunity to expand beyond typical instructional support. The goal of this lightning talk is to demonstrate where expertise within and outside of traditional librarian roles can open doors for collaboration and provide additional services to library constituents.
