ACRL Instruction Section ALA Preconference: “Teaching Information Literacy with a Social Justice Lens” (Hinchliffe a Presenter)
Illinois Association of College & Research Libraries Forum (IACRL)
May 24, 2017(via the Association of College and Research Libraries)
The ACRL Instruction Section is offering the full-day preconference, “Going with (and Growing with) the Framework: Teaching Information Literacy with a Social Justice Lens”, in conjunction with the ALA Annual Conference in Chicago on Friday, June 23. Through panel presentations and hands-on workshops, develop strategies and approaches for teaching the Framework for Information Literacy in Higher Education that also incorporate a social justice lens. The transition from the Standards to the Framework has been challenging for many librarians, especially because theFramework calls for a conceptual approach to information literacy instruction, instead of relying on measurable, skills-based outcomes. Yet the Framework may provide opportunities for deeper, more transformative learning and challenge students to think more critically about their own power and privilege, as well as the lack of certain voices, within the information ecosystem.
