About

The Critical Approaches to Libraries Conference (CALC) is a conference that aims to provide a space to discuss all aspects of critical practice in libraries and librarianship including (but not limited to) decolonisation, critical pedagogy, equality, diversity and inclusion in library work and representation of marginalised groups in the workforce, academia and literature. 

In 2026 we are running our main conference, which takes place online in May.

CALC's organisers are Darren Flynn (he/him) and Michelle Bond (she/her). They can be contacted at [email protected]
