contents The Whiteness of European Library and Information Science Ibekwe, Fidelia Library Science Information Science Whites Racial Factors Foreign Countries Diversity Inclusion Policy Racism Social Justice Higher Education Social Sciences Humanities Scholarship This paper studies how the concept of "Diversity, Equity & Inclusivity" (DE&I) has been instrumentalised "in lieu" of effective policies to tackle racism and racial inequity in Higher Education and in particular in Library and Information Science (LIS). The author takes stock of the research output devoted to this topic in Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) in order to ascertain European LIS's involvement in it or lack thereof. The paper analyzes the results of a preliminary qualitative survey of some European LIS scholars on how racially and ethnically "diverse" their departments and student population are.
