Critical Management Studies and Librarianship
Book • 2023
This edited volume explores the intersection of critical management studies (CMS) and library management.
It critiques dominant management theories and introduces perspectives from fields like queer feminist theories, postcolonial studies, and critical race theory.
The book examines issues such as strategic planning, assessment culture, and management institutes within the library context.
It also offers alternative approaches to leadership, drawing from social work, education, and other disciplines to address epistemic injustice and promote inclusive leadership practices.
The book aims to foster a more human-centered approach to library management, moving beyond traditional business models.
