About
About the Human Library ... To promote the Chancellor's guiding priority of enriching campus diversity and inclusion, the UARK Human Library will utilize interactive storytelling as a platform to learn about the experiences and perspectives of individuals with compelling personal narratives. The Human Library™ is designed to build a positive framework for conversations that can challenge stereotypes and prejudices through dialogue. We welcome all kinds of diverse stories as a library does, that not only challenge prejudices and stereotypes but also uplift, educate, and encourage readers. The Human Library™ is a place where real people are on loan to readers. A place where difficult questions are expected, appreciated, and answered. The University of Arkansas Human Library started in 2009 but is a part of the larger international Human Library Organization out of Copenhagen, Denmark that started in 2000.
