dc.description.abstract | The disordered information environment that fostered “fake news” in the 2016 U.S. election is still here. We need the social justice paradigm offered by critical information literacy to meet higher-order learning goals such as the creation of informed citizens. Sociology originated critical theory; therefore, applying the sociological imagination to information literacy practice provides valuable insights that can impact our day-to-day instruction in a way that meaningfully integrates a critical perspective. Attendees will be invited to practice the sociological imagination and consider how a social problems approach to information seeking and evaluation can impact their own information literacy instruction. | en_US |
