Indigenous Perspectives on Cultural Humility

Cultural humility offers a renewing and transformative framework for navigating interpersonal interactions in libraries, whether between patrons and staff or staff members with one another. This panel conversation with the editors and Indigenous authors of the forthcoming book, Hopeful Visions, Practical Actions: Cultural Humility in Library Work, will discuss the concept of cultural humility and highlight themes of cultural humility that are also reflected in Indigenous culture. Attendees will gain an understanding of cultural humility as an approach to work in libraries, ways cultural humility is practiced in library settings, and keys to using the practice in their daily interactions.

This session was part of the ATALM annual conference held in Temecula, California, on October 25-27, 2022.
