Claire Palmer

Librarian, International College Hong Kong

March 2024 - 21CLHK

This session will explore how we can cultivate a library environment that fosters critical literacy and empowers readers to recognise and challenge grand cultural narratives, and why this matters.

Join us as we share our experiences, insights, strategies and practical tools designed to update critical literacy practices in an international school library setting. Our goal is to inspire and encourage collaboration around topics such as identity, bias, power and inclusivity across literature, media and AI.
