In 2022,\u00a0the California Conference on Library Instruction (CCLI)\u00a0invites presenters to share the ways their instruction work imagined or adapted something new in their setting or the ways their current work explores and contains the groundwork for a future vision. The Conference, themed “Engaging in Speculative Pedagogy: Reimagining Library Futures with Creative Foresight”,\u00a0will take place online\u00a0Friday, May 13<\/strong>. See below for more details.<\/p>\n The push by some librarians to resist dominant structures and policies by imagining something different has opened the door to new possibilities. The possibilities latent in library work, in openness and universal access, require that librarians change, demolish and build. Emerging instruction pedagogies and practices based on these possibilities are humanizing librarians and our users, as well as creating visibility through greater representation. Possibilities for deconstruction of the dominant paradigm arise from librarians seeking out nontraditional publication formats and challenging long held conventions and practices (e.g., controlled vocabularies) that no longer hold up. When librarians see students’ realities, we are catalyzed toward not only radical creation of new programs, policies, collections, and spaces; but also new approaches to instruction. Putting the traditional and safe aside–allowing ourselves to engage in the speculative–has the power to propel our imaginations and dream the impossible.<\/p>\n \u200bThe deadline to submit proposals is now\u00a0Friday, November 19<\/strong>.\u00a0More information on the proposal process is available here<\/a>.
