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. </span></p>

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400">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.</span></p>

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).</span></p>

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. </span></p>

in Masters of Library Science programs. Chapter proposals of about 300 words and a short bio can be submitted at: </span></p>
