Session Description:
Teaching in academic libraries is exhilarating, exhausting, empowering, and exasperating, sometimes all in the same day! Instructional tips are easy to find, but the power dynamics in library instruction are often taken for granted. This panel of new and seasoned teaching librarians considers three themes: Experience, Identity, and Workplace. How do our experience levels affect what happens in the classroom? How do our social identities alter how we teach? How do institutional norms shape how instruction is perceived and valued? Join us for a spirited discussion on whats possible in our teaching and how to change the narrative going forward.
