WILU 2019 Call for Proposals
Workshop for Instruction in Library Use
University of Winnipeg | May 22 - 24, 2019
Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
CFP URL: http://wilu2019.ca/program/cfp/
Submission Deadline: Friday, November 16th, 2018
Hosted jointly by Red River College Library, the University of Winnipeg Library, and the University of Manitoba Libraries.
Theme: Engaging Place and Practice
The places and spaces we inhabit – physical, cultural, social, or professional – give shape to the practice of librarianship. Recent developments in library instruction emphasize the importance of culture, history, and place, leading to an explicit focus on the need for cognitively just and context-sensitive pedagogy. As an historic meeting place for thousands of years, at the confluence of the Red and Assiniboine Rivers, Winnipeg is an appropriate location to engage with place and practice. At WILU 2019 we hope to provide the opportunity for librarians to come together to collaboratively develop, discuss, and evaluate library instruction in this unique context. We aim to create space to critically examine pedagogy and practice, and the influences of location, identity, culture, politics, and social memory, in a move towards a more reflective and transformative profession.
Call for Proposals

We encourage you to consider the various ways the conference theme might be expressed in your own practice or research.
