WILU 2024

adrienne marie brown’s emergent strategy is a feminist, afrofuturist exploration of human responses to change, inspired by Octavia Butler’s fiction and the natural world. Emergent strategy is an imagining of the possibilities of connection/making during interactions that are time/limited, such as library instruction single sessions.

This workshop will introduce and model the core principles of emergent strategy. Participants will reflect on past instructional experiences, then reframe these after learning about the transformative possibilities of the principles. Participants will collaborate to transform a lesson plan by incorporating emergent principles, offering librarians concrete examples of ways to evolve their instruction practice.
