Hartman-Caverly, S., & Chisholm, A. (2021, May). Transforming privacy literacy instruction: From surveillance theory to teaching practice. Presentation at LOEX 2021.
With growing social justice issues related to surveillance and algorithmic bias, it is more important than ever for librarians to assume leadership in advocating and educating about privacy. This hands-on workshop showcases current, critical surveillance theory-informed privacy literacy instruction practices, and engages participants in developing implementation-ready programs for their local contexts. The workshop will feature privacy literacy learning activities and resources from the presenters’ privacy literacy toolkit, and support participants in adapting them to their campus needs. Facilitators will frame these activities using critical surveillance studies, and with emerging scholarship on intellectual freedom and privacy literacy practices in academic libraries.
