In January 2026, I’m scheduled to teach my original course, “Critical Hope & Self-Preservation in Contemporary Librarianship” (LIS 805) for Dominican University’s School of Information Studies (DU SOIS). The fully asynchronous 8-week course offers currently enrolled DU SOIS students an opportunity to earn 3 graduate credit hours.
During the two-month intensive course, students will explore the challenges of 21st-century librarianship and the role of critical hope in cultivating leadership, centering well-being, and expanding perceptions of library advocacy. Students are invited to consider and reimagine humane library futures based on consistent praxis, self-preservation, and collective care.
The Spring 2026 course is scheduled to start on January 12, 2026 and continue through March 6.
