About This Course


Are you curious about the term cultural humility? At its root, cultural humility requires one to acknowledge inequality and take action. This online course will introduce cultural humility as a concept for professional practice. We will focus on your role as colleague and as a professional and will link the concepts of cultural humility to librarianship. We will explore personal identity and culture. We will also examine how culture and identity translate to a deliberate practice of cultural humility in the workplace.

Xan Goodman, Health Services Librarian at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas Libraries, is the instructor for this course, which was created in winter 2021.
