Emergent Strategy in Library Instruction. Stories, Reflections, and Imaginings (en Inglés) - Leah Morin;Hazel McClure

Emergent Strategy in Library Instruction: Stories, Reflections, and Imaginings brings together a rich collection of voices that illustrate how library instruction can be enhanced through the use of emergent strategy, pioneered by adrienne maree brown in her books Emergent Strategy: Shaping Change, Changing Worlds and Holding Change: The Way of Emergent Strategy Facilitation and Mediation. Emergent strategy is a feminist, afrofuturist exploration of human relationships to each other and nature, responses to change, and our capacity to dream for and enact more just and beautiful futures; its use in libraries has the capacity to help librarians, students, and collaborators teach and learn in authentic, meaningful, and impactful learning communities, even when they're together for only brief amounts of time.

This collection of experiences from a diverse group of librarians sheds light on the benefits, challenges, and joys of embracing an emergent teaching practice in library instruction. By reading about the lived experiences of library colleagues, readers will find practical ways to incorporate the nine emergent principles in their own teaching, and quite possibly discover the ways in which emergent strategy concepts are already at work in their classrooms and teaching practices.
