Book Synopsis Critical Management Studies and Librarianship by : Silvia Vong
Download or read book Critical Management Studies and Librarianship written by Silvia Vong and published by Library Juice Press. This book was released on 2023-09 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Critical management studies (CMS) research began to emerge in the early 90s as some scholars recognized the oppressive and problematic management practices in the public and private sectors. Since then, CMS scholars have been critiquing dominant ideologies (e.g., managerialism, capitalism) that harm society and oppress workers. CMS scholars have also been exploring ways to redress management education such as re-designing curricula in management schools to include decolonial, feminist, and/or critical theories and concepts to name a few. Critical Management Studies and Librarianship unpacks current library management education and practices driven by the business, management, and organizational studies field through a critical lens. The book begins with an introduction to CMS and its relevance to libraries. The second section of the book offers insights from library professionals into how management education and practices rooted in current dominant ideologies impact work culture, and professional practice. The third section introduces inclusive leadership approaches that focus on equity and social justice and should be considered when designing library leadership programs. The aims of this book are to identify the oppressive logic of current library management practices and offer counter perspectives on ways to teach and frame library leadership.
Book Synopsis The Oxford Handbook of Critical Management Studies by : Mats Alvesson
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Critical Management Studies written by Mats Alvesson and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2009-06-18 with total page 604 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Critical Management Studies (CMS) has emerged as a movement that questions the authority and relevance of mainstream thinking and practice. Critical of established social practices and institutional arrangements, it challenges prevailing systems of domination and promotes the development of alternatives to them. CMS draws upon diverse critical traditions. Of particular importance for its initial articulation was the thinking of members of the Frankfurt School of Critical Theory. From these foundations, CMS has grown into a pluralistic and inclusive movement incorporating a diverse range of perspectives - ranging from labour process theory to radical feminism. In recent times, a set of ideas broadly labelled 'poststructuralist' have been developed to complement and challenge the insights of Critical Theory, giving new impetus for scholars seeking to challenge the status quo and articulate a more inclusive and humane future for management practice. The Oxford Handbook of Critical Management Studies provides an overview of theoretical approaches, key topics, issues, and subject specialisms in management studies, as well as a set of reflections on the progress and prospects of CMS. Contributors are all specialists in the respective fields and share a concern to interrogate and challenge received wisdom about management theory and practice. Given the rapid growth of the CMS movement, its ever increasing theoretical and geographical diversity and its outreach into the public sphere, The Oxford Handbook of Critical Management Studies is a timely publication. In addition to UK contributors, where CMS has developed most rapidly, there is strong representation from North American contributors as well as from areas where CMS has taken hold more recently, such as Australasia.
Book Synopsis Critical Management Studies by : Christopher Grey
Download or read book Critical Management Studies written by Christopher Grey and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-02-22 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Critical Management Studies (CMS) is often dated from the publication of an edited volume bearing that name (Alvesson and Willmott, 1992). In the two decades that have followed, CMS has been remarkably successful in establishing itself not just as a ‘term’ but as a recognizable tradition or approach. The emerging status of CMS as an overall approach has been both encouraged and marked by a growing range of handbooks, readers and textbooks. Yet the literature is dominated by writings from the UK and Scandinavia in particular, and the tendency is to treat this literature as constituting CMS. However, the meaning, practice, constraints and context of CMS vary considerably between different countries, cultures and language communities. This volume surveys fourteen various countries and regions where CMS has acquired some following and seeks to explore the different ways in which CMS is understood and the different contexts within which it operates, as well as its possible future development.

Download or read book Feminists Among Us written by Shirley Lew and published by Library Juice Press. This book was released on 2017-09-30 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Feminists Among Us: Resistance and Advocacy in Library Leadership makes explicit the ways in which a grounding in feminist theory and practice impacts the work of library administrators who identify as feminists. Recent scholarship by LIS researchers and practitioners on the intersections of gender with sexuality, race, class, and other social categories within libraries and other information environments have highlighted the need and desire of this community to engage with these concepts both in theory and praxis. Feminists Among Us adds to this conversation by focusing on a subset of feminist LIS professionals and researchers in leadership roles who engage critically with both management work and librarianship. By collecting these often implicit professional acts, interactions, and dynamics and naming them as explicitly feminist, these accounts both document aspects of an existing community of practice as well as invite fellow feminists, advocates, and resisters to consider library leadership as a career path.

Book Synopsis Residencies Revisited by : Preethi Gorecki
Download or read book Residencies Revisited written by Preethi Gorecki and published by Library Juice Press. This book was released on 2020-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many academic libraries across the country have developed and maintained library diversity residency programs in support of a larger campaign to diversify librarianship as a profession. Library diversity residencies strive to provide early-career librarians of color with the experience and toolkit necessary to pursue a successful lifelong career in academic librarianship. Beyond the residents themselves, there are various stakeholders involved in every residency program: residency coordinators, library administrators, and the professional organizations that back them. This book provides a space for the perspectives of all types of residency stakeholders to intersect, thereby producing a holistic narrative of library diversity residencies. The intended audience for this narrative is all academic librarians and administrators currently involved or interested in library diversity residency programs or generally interested in diversity initiatives. On paper, diversity residencies have the potential to do so much good: jump-start someone's career, offer much-needed entry-level employment for recent graduates, and even offer the (false) promise of diversifying a predominantly and problematically white field. This collection will leave everyone asking: who do these programs really help? Preethi Gorecki is the Communications Librarian at MacEwan University. In 2018, she started her career in librarianship as a Library Faculty Diversity Fellow at Grand Valley State University. Preethi holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology from Concordia University in Montréal, Québec, Canada and a Master of Library and Information Science (MLIS) degree from the University of Western Ontario in London, Ontario, Canada. Her research interests include practices for diversifying librarianship, project and task management tools and techniques for everyday academic librarianship, and student engagement as related to student wellness. Arielle Petrovich is the College Archivist at Beloit College. She holds an MS in Library and Information Science from Simmons College and a BA in American Studies from Smith College. Her research interests include strategies for diversifying the archival profession, de-mystifying the archives, and fostering historical empathy in the archival classroom.
