Critical Information Literacy for Cognitive and Social Justice

Critical Information Literacy for Cognitive and Social Justice In-Person

Decolonize your Research Practices

This workshop is designed to help you apply a critical lens to your research practices.

Consider diverse forms of knowledge creation and recognize historical value assignments to such knowledge, according to context. Engage in critical reflection of information privilege as way to advocate for social and cognitive justice. Learn to strategically seek out multiple voices and expand your worldview.

This session will be held in-person in Room 202 of the Angus L. Macdonald Library, on the 3rd floor.

Registration is encouraged, however feel free to join us if you have not had the chance to register.
