The Social Responsibilities Round Table works to make ALA more democratic and to establish progressive priorities not only for the Association, but also for the entire profession. Concern for human and economic rights was an important element in the founding of SRRT and remains an urgent concern today. SRRT believes that libraries and librarians must recognize and help solve social problems and inequities in order to carry out their mandate to work for the common good and bolster democracy.

Anti-Authoritarian & Anti-Fascist Library

  • 1.  Anti-Authoritarian & Anti-Fascist Library

    Posted Sep 02, 2025 03:08 PM
    The National Communication Association  is proud to announce the launch of a resource library on Authoritarianism and Fascism. Titled "Addressing Authoritarianism," the library is conceived as a resource to enable successful pedagogical, research, creative, and administrative interventions into authoritarianism and fascism.  Available to all, this public resource features theoretical, historical, and pedagogical resources on authoritarianism and fascism for scholars and educators to use in their teaching and writing. The library contains theoretical and historical texts in communication and beyond, as well as college-level and K-12 lesson plans, and extensive media databases aimed at promoting critical interventions into authoritarianism and fascism.  The library addresses authoritarianism and fascism as a global phenomenon, with an emphasis on different regions worldwide. Created as a volunteer effort organized by Dr. Marina Levina (Editor of Communication and Critical/Cultural Studies and Chair of the Critical and Cultural Studies Division), the library will be a living document-an evolving work over time through contributions from others in NCA and beyond.
