Abstract

Research Question:

Can Virtual Reality (VR) Create a Fourth Space in Libraries that is a safer space for 2SLGTBQ+ and IBPOC people? Libraries are considered third places between work and home, if there is access to VR could that create a fourth space for individuals with intersectional identities to explore in library settings?
