Contemporary Critical Thought in LIS Theory and Practice

A Six Week Suite of Encounters & Movements with nicholae cline & Jorge López-McKnight

In this offering, we will collectively think and learn alongside one another in order to consider criticality, power, and the production of knowledge within our field. Across six weeks, we will exchange ideas, questions, stories, and concerns as we pluck, listen, analyze, and meditate on a number of threads that give shape to contemporary critical scholarship in LIS.
