Call for proposals: Expanding the Conversation: Digital, Media, and Civic Literacies In and Out of the Library

There is a call for proposals for the 20th Annual Information Literacy Summit, which has the theme Expanding the Conversation: Digital, Media, and Civic Literacies In and Out of the Library, and takes place online on 29 April 2022. It is organised by College of DuPage Library and DePaul University Library, USA. The deadline for proposals is 21 January 2022. 

"We are seeking presenters to lead engaging and interactive discussions about information literacy and library instruction. We are especially interested in breakout sessions and panels which explore the evolving nature of information literacy and are related to this year’s theme" Suggested themes are
"Digital literacies: How do we make invisible algorithms (and their impacts) visible? What do critical digital literacies look like?
"Media literacies: How do we engage with media literacy in the classroom? In our daily lives? How do we evaluate new forms of media and changing information ecosystems?
"Civic literacies: What opportunities do we have to engage with questions around social justice and democratic participation? How does information shape civic engagement?
"Partnerships promoting information literacy across departments, campuses, institutions: How do we work with first year writing programs to embed key literacies into the core curriculum? What are good examples of media information literacy resources that can be reused across institutions?"
