Are you curious about the term cultural humility? At its root, cultural humility requires one to acknowledge inequality and take action. This online course will introduce the concept of cultural humility as a professional tool in the library. We will focus on your role as colleague and as a professional and will link the concepts of cultural humility to librarianship. We will explore personal identity and culture. We will also examine how culture and identity translate to a deliberate practice of cultural humility in the workplace.
By the end of the course you will be able to:

  *   Create an identity collage as a way to examine your identity and reflect on how cultural identity shapes worldviews
  *   Identify one short term goal and one long term goal for your  practice of cultural humility with colleagues and patrons
Course Description: Through online meetings, assignments, and discussions we will explore the concept of cultural humility. You will complete a cultural humility action plan and an identity collage.
