MacEwan Library’s 2nd Annual ILuminate Workshop
In this workshop, Library Workers learn about Cultural Humility as a concept within critical librarianship. Critical Librarianship aims to critically examine instruction, collections, scholarly communications, and other librarianship practices using a critical lens. A critical lens involves critiquing existing structures by considering race, history, power dynamics, and other markers. This 2-hour course aims to raise awareness about cultural humility in a critical context. In this workshop, participants will use andragogy-designed active learning strategies to examine their identities and situate themselves as critical actors poised to engage with cultural humility. Participants will learn actionable strategies to practice cultural humility as a Library worker with both colleagues and patrons.
