For many, libraries are warm, welcoming places, tinged with nostalgia and fond memories. Yet these library collections and spaces are also sites of trauma for researchers, particularly Indigenous students. The presentation is a chance for those who work in research, libraries, and in student support to draw from nêhiyaw laws of relationality to consider the way that libraries can make space for emotional competency in supporting student research. "Research as Trauma & Medicine: How Libraries can Provide an Ethic of Care" is a presentation given by Jessie Loyer on September 16th, 2020, as part of the series "Digital + Creative Knowledge Sharing: Data Management in Creative Research." The series, Digital + Creative Knowledge Sharing: Data Management in Creative Research is supported by Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (Research Data Management Capacity Initiative), Emily Carr University Research + Industry Office, VP Academic and Provost Office, Emily Carr Library and First Nations Information Governance Centre.
