Dissent and conflict are critical components of progress and are
catalysts that move individuals, institutions, and communities toward
systemic change. Author Cass Sunstein writes, "Behavior that is
sensible, prudent, and courteous is likely to lead individuals and
societies to blunder." Librarianship, on the whole, is prone to such
behavior, choosing conformity over conflict, and inertia over action.
Authentic dissent in librarianship can be a catalyst to facilitate
positive change against systemic oppression in libraries, and in society
at large.
