Decolonizing & Indigenizing “Intellectual Freedom” in the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa LIS Curriculum

Year: 2025

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Intellectual Freedom (IF) has been a key construct in the definition of professional ethics and identity in the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa Library and Information Science Program (UHM LISP) since its establishment in 1965. This paper takes a critical lens to examine how the program has viewed and taught IF, without necessarily considering what it means in occupied land. This paper emerged as part of a faculty participation in a 2023 Indigenizing Social Sciences seminar. This paper follows the Program to move forward in a Native Hawaiian Place of Learning and helps to problematize IF for LIS educators.
