Associate Librarians Yvonne Mery (pictured left) and Anthony Sanchez (pictured right) are celebrating the release of their co-edited book, "The Critical Librarianship and Pedagogy Symposium: Reflections, Revisions, and New Works." The official release date is August 11.

A brief description from the Amazon listing:

The Critical Librarianship and Pedagogy Symposium: Reflections, Revisions, and New Works collects expanded and updated presentations given at the Critical Librarianship and Pedagogy Symposium (CLAPS) held biennially at the University of Arizona Libraries.

This anthology provides a toolkit for critical library pedagogy that recognizes how knowledge is created within historical and deeply politicized contexts. Authors working in library or disciplinary teaching fields explore intersections between information literacy and critical pedagogy and provide current thinking, assessment, and reflection on their practices of teaching students how to recognize and critique the oppressive power structures inherent in educational systems. The work done by librarians is analyzed to reveal the socioeconomic frameworks that drive the costs of our labor.

Congratulations, Yvonne and Anthony!
