David James Hudson is an award-winning writer, a library and information studies scholar, and an associate librarian at University of Guelph. David's creative and scholarly work is primarily concerned with race, racism, and anti-racism, especially with the ways in which these phenomena have come to be conceptualized (both historically and in the present day) and the interests such conceptualizations have served. He explores such questions with particular attention to contexts of library and information work, Black diasporic life, colonialism, and capitalism. His writing has appeared in such publications as up//root*, Journal of Critical Library and Information Studies, Journal of Information Ethics, and the edited collections Topographies of Whiteness and Information Ethics and Global Citizenship.

Désirée Rochat, Concordia Library's 2021-2022 Researcher-in-Residence, is a community educator and transdisciplinary scholar. She holds a PhD in Educational Studies from McGill University. Guided by an integrative approach connecting historical research, community archival preservation and education, her work aims to document, theorize and transmit (hi)stories of Black diasporic communities’ activism.
