2018 MLA Annual Conference

Theories on political ideology, social relationships, norming, and activism can be used to update our strategies when building support for issues we care about within our individual libraries and across the broader political landscape. Key ideas covered include Jonathon Haidt's moral foundations theory, the ladder of engagement as discussed by Patrick Sweeney, and aligning language with supporters' values. The session will be a 20 minute presentation, with 20 minutes of participatory guided activities, and a 10 minute conclusion and wrap-up.
