WILU 2024

As instruction librarians grow our engagement with inclusive practices, many are exploring ways to critically reflect upon their pedagogical priorities; to reimagine their instructional design, content, and approaches; and to cultivate more supportive workplaces for librarians that are founded on an ethics of care. Care ethics and critical reflective practice offer valuable avenues through which instruction librarians can cultivate more inclusive spaces in the classroom and our workplaces. We will explore the connections among equity, diversity, and inclusion; care ethics; critical reflective practice; and the practice of perspective taking, and how these can inform inclusive teaching and supportive work environments.
