Biography

Anna Arendse Thorsen is a PhD fellow at the University of Copenhagen specializing in the engagement of Danish libraries, archives, and museums (LAMs) with diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Her research focuses on qualitative case studies that investigate how LAMs have accelerated their engagement agendas in recent years. Thorsen's work includes various initiatives such as 'Drag-bingo', 'rainbow shelves', and city walks, aiming to address structural inequalities and promote representation for minorities. She examines the influence of diversity initiatives on the dissemination ideals of neutrality and transparency within these institutions. Her project is part of the VELUX-funded research initiative titled 'Post-neutrality Libraries, Archives, Museums', seeking to clarify the broader implications of the evolving role of LAM institutions in fostering social change.
