Call for chapters: Unframing the Visual: Visual Literacy Pedagogy in Academic Libraries and Information Spaces

There is a call for chapter proposals for a book to be published by ACRL Press in 2023: Unframing the Visual: Visual Literacy Pedagogy in Academic Libraries and Information Spaces, "As the first major work on visual literacy pedagogy for academic librarians since the publication of the 2016 Framework for Information Literacy in Higher Education, this work aims to offer innovative ideas about, perspectives on, and approaches to visual literacy instruction across the disciplines in higher education. We are seeking proposals for chapters for each of the book's four thematic sections: Participating in a changing visual information landscape; Perceiving visuals as communicating information; Practicing visual discernment and criticality; Pursuing social justice through visual practice".
