Hello,
a bit about me...

** Information is now available about the
Critical LIS book series. **

Welcome to my site.

Since 2020, I have served as a clinical (teaching-track) assistant professor in the Department of Research Methods and Information Science at the University of Denver in Colorado. I previously worked as an academic librarian for 10 years. In addition to an MLS degree, I hold a PhD in sociology, as well as an MA and BA in psychology.

I am seeking new full-time academic research and teaching opportunities that will enable me to leverage my experience as a university professor in library and information science, as well as a practicing librarian, and my background in the social and behavioral sciences.

I am looking to accept a role as an educator and researcher in the discipline of library and information science/studies. I seek a balanced teaching-research position that involves:

Creating and teaching academic courses
Conducting and publishing research and scholarship
Seeking, developing, and executing externally-funded projects
Contributing to an LIS department, as well as its college or university, via service

My research interests:

The study of libraries, archives, museums, and cultural heritage sites in climate-vulnerable geographic contexts, especially on islands and coasts in polar, polar-adjacent, and nearby areas, including issues related to collection, preservation, operation, sustainability, logistics, cultural heritage informatics, digitalization, globalization, and societal change
The study of LIS workplaces, as well as the profession and discipline of LIS, via social and critical theory, especially using dysfunctional and crisis frameworks

Some of my recent work:

Apart from my work, I enjoy listening to synth, pop, electronic, and 80s/90s music (yes, I have a playlist!) I also have a fondness for geometric abstract art, coffee, and cats.
