This vision of information literacy is rooted in xenophilia, a love and openness to difference. In this case, information literacy is defined by an awareness and openness to the variances that exist between different information landscapes and their practices. Whitworth will make the case for information literacy as a pedagogy that can enable important discussions of openness and dialog, particularly in today&#8217;s socio-political climate. <span style=\"color: #1f497d\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in;margin-bottom: .0001pt\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri Light',sans-serif\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in;margin-bottom: .0001pt\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri Light',sans-serif\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.research.manchester.ac.uk\/portal\/en\/researchers\/andrew-whitworth(62724053-e9d7-4230-9e8c-4dbc395b6dc6).html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Drew Whitworth <\/a>is the Director of Teaching and Learning Strategy of the Manchester Institute of Education at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.manchester.ac.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The University of Manchester.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Purdue Libraries is hosting the presentation &#8220;XENOPHILIA: How the love of difference is essential for information literacy&#8221; by Dr. Drew Whitworth. \u00a0 Date: August 29, 2017 Time: 10:00am &#8211; 11:30am Location: Purdue Memorial Union, West Faculty Lounge \u00a0 The event is free and open to the public.
