In the final episode of this two-part series, Fatima Mohie-Eldin, editor of Choice Reviews and Toward Inclusive Excellence (TIE), dives into DEIA trends in higher education and what’s next for TIE. She shares her observations as the editor of TIE—the Choice blog dedicated to issues of DEIA in higher education and beyond—by touching on the general anxiety from academic librarians over the future of DEI and reversals by universities on their DEI pledges in the wake of Supreme Court decisions and current administration policies. Exploring urgent topics with TIE’s audience, Fatima highlights content in support of international and immigrant communities, tips for avoiding burnout, and Choice’s longform reviews of racial justice titles, Featured Reviews. To close the episode, Fatima reflects on DEIA collection development trends and upcoming topics to be covered on TIE.
