[SPECIAL EVENT]: Feminist Pedagogy for Library Instruction

September 26, 2015 Hailley Fargo

It's been a couple of weeks since my Library Instruction class Skyped with academic librarian Maria T. Accardi. I'm still fangirling and continuing to think about how the work I do is inherently feminist. Maria wrote Feminist Pedagogy for Library Instruction, which for those faithful blog readers, will know that I read this book this summer. So it was nice to reread the book this fall and to have Maria speak to us about the ideas in the book and hear about her own practice of librarianship.

I've put together some of the tweets from that day, which I'll interweave with some of the main ideas of feminist pedagogy in librarian instruction.

Hyperlink Roundup -- September 25

September 25, 2015 Hailley Fargo

Another week, another set of links. Update on my link problem (aka far too many tabs open for one computer and one gal to handle). I have less! Far less! Be proud :)

Over at the Hack Library School, myself and GSLIS peer, Brenna, wrote a post with our opinions on the potential name change our department is considering.
I did some article hunting regarding Banned Books Week for the clerks I supervise. I got fancy and created a PDF with all these links.
The Republican race for President got a little more interesting and the Strand bookstore in NYC put their foot in the political door (I also have a good friend who works here and I love that she's gaining all this publicity because she's great).
With fall TV shows premiering, it was exciting to read some of the first rounds of cultural criticism (and optimism for this season). Aka why Empire is important and TV's take on diversity.

Not my most in-depth roundup, but hopefully this weekend as I dig into homework, some good links will appear for next week.

Grad School is a Hip-Hop-Happening: Week Four

September 14, 2015 Hailley Fargo

It's week four in GSLIS Library Land. Things are going well but going so fast. I feel a new level of intensity this semester, an intensity I both welcome and slightly fear. Yet my optimism keeps me going, along with the fact I really do enjoy what I'm doing.
