Citations as Justice: A Critical Approach to Plagiarism Education

Presentation. Critical Librarianship & Pedagogy Symposium, November 2-4, 2022, The University of Arizona.A critical approach to citation and information literacy instruction will help librarians develop pedagogies that value student learning and honor the contributions of a variety of scholars. Librarians are uniquely situated to lead a critical approach to citation practice. A more productive framework would be one grounded in pedagogy that values student learning and helps develop an information scaffold that undergirds every subject and every earned degree. Critical theory; decolonization; critical library theory; critical race theory; feminist pedagogy; and critical library instruction all provide a common lens through which to re-vision this conversation. This session will explore various critical approaches and lenses with which to view citation and information literacy instruction. There will be small group conversations and brainstorming to engage participants in critical thinking about their own current or future programs.Proceedings from the Critical Librarianship & Pedagogy Symposium are made available by the symposium creators and the University of Arizona Libraries.
