The ACRL Instruction Section Inclusive Pedagogy Committee is looking for panelists for our upcoming webinar, “Inclusive Library Instruction for Shifting Student Realities”. This spring semester, we’re interested in hearing from librarians who have experience navigating our shifting student realities in library instruction. By sharing these stories, we aim to cultivate a community of educators who are not only committed to inclusion and equity but also feel ready to respond to the social and political challenges of today.
The Inclusive Pedagogy Committee invites you to submit proposals for 5-10 minute lightning talks. The lightning talks will be followed by a facilitated conversation, with opportunity for Q&A. We’d love to learn about your experience with the topic.
We welcome proposals that cover but are not limited to:
- Adapting to changing student abilities and skills in library instruction
- Navigating boundaries when being asked to take on responsibilities “outside our work”
- Responding to changes to campus culture and/or curriculum
Important Dates
- Proposal Submission Deadline: Friday, March 20
- Event Date: Monday, April 27, 12:00 PM CDT
We’re particularly interested in elevating the voices of BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color), LGBTQIA+, and people with disabilities. Presenters from such backgrounds are strongly encouraged to apply and are welcomed to include this information in their proposal.
Please submit your proposals via this Google Form. For any inquiries, feel free to reach out to Lily Murray (murrayl6@nku.edu). We can’t wait to learn from you!
