Presenter: Carrie Wade, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee

This session will address the ways that fake news and post truth pedagogies are beyond the scope of critical librarianship. Participants will be invited to engage in critical questions about the failures and oversights of library instruction that focuses on fake news and post truth pedagogy including a critique of the common and nauseating vocabularies and tropes of such instruction methods. Together we will assess the context of the current political reality and its implications for library instruction.
