SOCIAL JUSTICE RUINS EVERYTHING, ARCHIVIST EDITION: “Archiving is about shaping memory, advancing justice, and ensuring access in a digital age. Our ARM students preserve the past and build ethical frameworks for the future…”
No, it’s not. Nobody wants this. The constituency of people who want archivists making decisions based on “shaping memory” (Orwell much?) or “advancing justice” is effectively 0% of the population. Not everything has to be politics. People are begging higher ed to stop being this way.
