Topic: "Equity Mindset + Information Literacy Instruction"
Join us at this year’s MILEX Spring Conference Workshop to explore ways academic librarians can bring an equity mindset to our teaching praxis.
Our guest speaker is Amanda Folk, assistant professor and Head of the Teaching & Learning Department in the University Libraries at The Ohio State University. In 2023, Folk’s book chapter “Information Literacy Through an Equity Mindset” was published in Hicks, Lloyd, and Pilerot’s Information Literacy Through Theory. In addition to being active in both the American Library Association and the Association of College & Research Libraries, Folk is currently the editor-in-chief of the Journal of Academic Librarianship.
*MILEX Membership for the 2025-2026 academic year begins July 1, 2025 and ends June 30, 2026.
