"Adopting a critical literacy approach to information skills can be challenging. Whilst many information literacy frameworks emphasise the need for students to evaluate the quality, relevance, accuracy, currency, credibility etc. of information sources, critical literacy is about much more than this. This introductory session will explain the basics of critical literacy and suggest some ways that librarians (and other staff) in schools, colleges and universities might go about teaching critical literacy skills to students."
- Critical Literacy & Academic Texts: 15 November 2023; 15.30-16.30 UK time, Cost £15
"This session will focus on ways to use critical literacy approaches specifically to interrogate academic resources, such as peer reviewed articles. It will suggest ways that librarians (and other staff) in colleges, universities and 6th forms might go about teaching critical literacy skills to students. The session will include discussion of issues such as the relationship between critical literacy and various research paradigms; publishing practices; author positionality; author motivations; and funder considerations. (Note: This session will assume participants already have a basic understanding of critical literacy)."
