* Proposals sought for chapters in an ALA Editions book that will explore
cultural humility in libraries of all types. Proposal Submission Deadline:
March 1, 2021 Editors: Sarah R. Kostelecky (Zuni Pueblo), Lori Townsend
(Shoshone-Paiute), David A. Hurley (White) Cultural humility holds promise
as a transformative approach to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI)
efforts within librarianship.  We hope to create a book that helps realize
that promise by increasing our understanding of how the practice of
cultural humility applies across all types of libraries and library
services.  Cultural humility is “the ability to maintain an interpersonal
stance that is other oriented in relation to aspects of cultural identity
that are most important to the other person, the ability to recognize the
context in which interactions occur, and a commitment to redress power
imbalances and other structural issues to benefit all parties.” (Hurley et
al, 2019)  Cultural humility therefore offers a way of navigating the
spontaneous interpersonal interactions in libraries, whether between our
patrons and our staff or staff members with one another, with an awareness
of and commitment to challenging inequitable structures of power. We invite
chapters that explore or demonstrate the concept of cultural humility in
libraries as a practice rooted in self-reflection, compassion, and
appreciation of the “other.” Proposals may be practical, theoretical,
and/or research-based, considering libraries as workplaces (i.e.
diversifying and educating the profession, leadership, conflict management)
and/or how libraries serve our communities (i.e. collection development,
reference & outreach services, technical services, access services,
instruction). We especially seek and welcome submissions from and about
voices that are underrepresented in the literature, including those of
people of color, people with disabilities, members of the LGBTQ community,
school librarians, public librarians, and librarians from other
non-academic contexts.    Final chapters should be approximately 4000-5000
words, aimed at both practicing library professionals and students in
Masters of Library Science programs.  Chapter proposals of about 300 words
and a short bio can be submitted at:
