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.

    Information Literacy Section Webinar: Engaging library professionals in research and practice about critical pedagogy and social justice in librarianship

    When 15 June 2022

    Time 13:00 - 14:30 EDT

    https://www.ifla.org/events/information-literacy-section-webinar-engaging-library-professionals-in-research-and-practice-about-critical-pedagogy-and-social-justice-in-librarianship/

     

    Social justice design has much to offer to librarians, and critical pedagogy is a way to implement it, because critical pedagogy incorporates inclusive and reflective teaching for aims of social justice. It provides mechanisms for students to evaluate their social, political, and economic standing, and to question societal norms and how these norms perpetuate societal injustices.

     

    Join us on June 15 to converse about how we can integrate social justice design into one's work, in theory and in practice, and then identify the potential advantages and difficulties of doing so.
