4th Annual LILi Conference
*Learning Social Justice through *
*Critical Information Literacy *
Monday, July 31, 2017
Glendale Community College, Glendale, CA
We are living in a time of alternative facts, fake news, and information
poverty. The 4th Annual Lifelong Information Literacy (LILi) conference
will address practical teaching strategies and tools for you. You will feel
more confident about including social justice through the lens of critical
information literacy in your teaching.
“Critical information literacy differs from standard definitions of
information literacy (ex: the ability to find, use, and analyze
information) in that it takes into consideration the social, political,
economic, and corporate systems that have power and influence over
information production, dissemination, access, and consumption” (Gregory &
Higgins, 2013). While the new ACRL Framework for academic libraries does
not have a social justice frame, it provides structure to address many
issues including authority, power structures, voices represented in
scholarly conversation, as well as those that are not included.
How can we create safe spaces for students and community members in all
types of libraries, in order to learn about power structures influencing
information, critically evaluating it, and advocating for information
equality and fairness for all?
The LILi group invites you to submit proposals with practical application
and built-in audience interaction by April 30, 2017 for either a
1. 20-minute presentation or
2. 10-minute lightning talks
Please include specifics about your presentation beyond your topic. How
will your presentation be interactive? Will you be facilitating any
activities for attendees or small group discussions? If so, please describe
how you will create a safe space for respectful dialogue and debate about
topics that may be sensitive. Will you have any special ground rules
attendees should be aware of? Will you need any special accommodations
provided by the hosts?
Proposals will be blind-reviewed, so please do not include identifying
information in the text of your abstract.
