WILU 2024

This flexible workshop walks participants through a knowledge justice module, created within a curriculum decolonization initiative at Western University. Through three mini lessons, attendees will use an epistemic justice lens to reframe common information literacy topics: identifying a topic, search strategies, and source evaluation. Participants will consider how best to apply the provided resources to their local context, working either alone or in/groups. We will also reflect on the challenges with decolonizing library instruction, in both science and non/science classrooms, and consider our personal responsibilities toward furthering this work.
