From Awareness to Action: Applying Cultural Competence in Library and Information Science Research and Practice
Faculty Presentation

Faculty Conference Presentation

Dr Villagran presents her sabbatical research at the XXVIII International Congress of the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology in 2026.

The session highlights findings from 2025 with library professionals and previews findings from collaborations with cultural experts in 2026, offering practical guidance for researchers seeking to implement culturally competent principles across disciplines. Ultimately, this work seeks to bridge cultural competence research with cross-cultural psychology’s ongoing efforts to develop inclusive, contextually grounded, and ethically responsible methodologies. By equipping researchers with tools and frameworks for self-awareness and culturally responsive engagement, CCRLIS contributes to a more equitable and culturally intelligent research landscape.
