LIS 732 - Introduction to Critical Race Information Theory

3 Credit Hours
The course introduces the concept of Critical Race Information Theory (CRIT), which is grounded in the framework of Critical Race Theory (CRT). The course traces the legacy of CRIT from the Institute of Social Research, which led to Critical Legal Studies (CLS) then to CRT and the eventual development of CRIT. Other viable discussions towards understanding CRIT as both an Information Studies inter- and intradisciplinary endeavor include critiques of multiple aspects of Critical Librarianship. Delivered with a CRITical Cultural approach and utilizing a learning community model, the course provides opportunities for learners to engage CRIT/CRT as an emerging contribution to the research, pedagogy, and practice(s) of Information Studies. Serves as a prerequisite for LIS 762.
