"Critical Conversations" is a series of thought-provoking discussions with contributing authors from Critical Library Leadership: Managing Self and Others in Today's Academic Library. Through these conversations, participants are invited to delve into key topics in critical librarianship, examining the challenges and opportunities of leadership, the importance of fostering inclusivity, and the evolving role of libraries as agents of social justice and equity. Join us for this unique opportunity to engage with others in the field and explore how libraries can shape a more inclusive and equitable future.
What to Expect
Each session will begin with a presentation by chapter authors followed by time in break out rooms. Break out rooms will be approximately 15 minutes, limited to 6 attendees to allow for dialogue on the topics, and guiding questions will be provided. Session will end with an opportunity for break out groups to share with the whole group.
Sessions will not be recorded.
Presentations are based on select chapters in Critical Library Leadership: Managing Self and Others in Today's Academic Library. Prior reading is not required, but encouraged.
