Abstract
Critical librarianship asks us to interrogate the structures of knowledge production, dissemination, preservation, and use. As classroom teachers, we are often asked to confine our teaching to functional information skills - how to retrieve five peer-reviewed articles from a database, or how to format citations in APA. This talk addresses the intersection of the critical approaches many of us want to teach and the mechanical skills we are often asked to teach, offering strategies for integrating critical perspectives in a variety of teaching contexts.
