- About the author
This book is an essential read for school librarians and educators looking to gain a better understanding of actions taken to create environments where EDIIF can thrive.
School librarians perform a critical and frontline role in defending equality, diversity, inclusion, and intellectual freedom (EDIIF) within their school communities. Radical School Librarianship invites readers to learn from the experiences of school librarian leaders from around the globe in order to find inspiration, support, and strategies to continue promoting EDIIF. Each chapter will address a particular way to take action. Bringing exemplary practices from Australia, Croatia, Ecuador, Germany, Indonesia, Malaysia, Nigeria, South Africa, Türkiye, the UK and US, chapters cover topics such as
- how literacy is promoted within inequitable educational landscapes;
- how diversity and intellectual freedom are supported through book awards and social media; and
- how librarians respond to changing social and political environments to ensure equity, diversity, inclusion, and intellectual freedom in their learning communities.
