Research Agenda Conversation with Veronica Arellano Douglas

  • 1.  Research Agenda Conversation with Veronica Arellano Douglas

    Posted Jan 05, 2024 08:28 AM

    Dear colleagues,

    [Please excuse cross postings] On behalf of the ACRL IS Research and Scholarship Committee, I would like to draw your attention to the Research Agenda Conversation blog. The blog provides an opportunity for leading scholars in the field of information literacy to reflect on their own research and teaching practices. This year, the committee is excited to feature Veronica Arellano Douglas, who has written and presented extensively on topics such as critical information literacy, gendered labor in libraries, library assessment, and librarianship in general. Her research draws from different theoretical frameworks, including the relational-cultural theory, a feminist model of human development. The Q&A with Veronica is available at <https://acrl.ala.org/IS/is-committees-2/committees-task-forces/research-scholarship/research-agenda-conversations/2024-research-agenda-conversation/>

    Wishing you all a great year ahead. 

    Best,
    Lijuan Xu
    Chair, Research and Scholarship Committee
