The proposed course will compare the traditions, theories, and perspectives of LAMs, focusing on: • the evolution of LAMS from the early modern period to the present day; • key concepts of library science, archival studies and museum studies; • professional ethics and values across LAMs; • representation and interpretation across LAMs • user engagement and meaning-making across LAMs; • LAMs as physical and virtual spaces; • collaboration and convergence across LAMs; • the repositioning of LAMs as agents of social change in general and in response to the recommendations of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada in particular.
