Case Studies in Critical Pedagogies is scheduled for the week of Feb 28th

Whether critical pedagogy has been the focus of your reference/instruction practice and scholarship for years or you are wholly new to the subject, we invite you to join us as we continue the discussion within our SIG community, this time with a focus on Critical Race Theory.  
 
We’d like to  think together, now more specifically, about how critical race theory informs our pedagogy and our practice. We continue to be mindful that our work exists in spaces that are  structured by corporate educational technologies and taking place at a time when the fault lines of inequality, access, and vulnerability are so pronounced.
 
We invite you to consider how we can integrate criticalities of race to our approaches to teaching and/or reference practice. How are we reifying power structures of racial inequity in library services, school, and staffing models? How do we continue to support ourselves, faculty, students, patrons, and the public? What do we need to keep doing? Start? Stop?

We are seeking proposals for brief 10-15 minute case study presentations to help ground our discussion. If you have been able to approach distance learning from a perspective that incorporates critical pedagogy practices--either through reference service or instruction (whether synchronous or asynchronous), or if you have engaged with these issues in your own research, and would like to share with the wider library services community, please complete this form.
