| contents | Cultivating Imagination: A Case for Teaching Information Ethics with Works of Fiction Iulian Vamanu Library Science Information Science Masters Degrees Curriculum Information Dissemination Information Management Information Utilization Ethics Course Content Fiction Curriculum Development Teaching Methods Library Education This article argues that the MLIS curriculum should offer information ethics courses that enable future information professionals to develop their imaginative powers through close study and discussion of fiction. LIS students reading ethical theory and fiction bring the two into conversation and as a result reach a better understanding of both. Crucially, this process presupposes the exercise of empathetic imagination, a mental capacity that helps us inhabit other perspectives and modes of being in the world. The paper supports this discussion with evidence from an instructional intervention implemented during an information ethics course within an LIS program at a large public research university. |
