Transplanting Cultural Capital and Community Cultural Wealth from the Education Field to the LIS Field: Harvesting Its Library Instruction Potential

Cultural capital, a theory grown out of the education field, could be considered a seedling of a theory in LIS. Attendees will observe the roots of cultural capital in LIS literature as well as potential branching connections between cultural capital and information literacy skills resulting from the authors’ own data analysis project. Participants will discover how this theory has evolved and the speakers will cultivate the utility of one particular bough of cultural capital, Community Cultural Wealth, which applies a critical lens and demonstrates a strengths-based approach which can inform library instruction pedagogy.
