Hello,
a bit about me...

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

​

Welcome to my site.

 

Since 2020, I have worked as an assistant professor in the Research Methods and Information Science department at the University of Denver in Colorado. I previously worked for 10 years as an academic librarian. In addition to an MLS degree, I have a PhD in sociology and an MA and BA in psychology.

I am seeking new full-time academic research and teaching opportunities that will allow me to leverage my years of library and information science (LIS) experience as a practicing librarian and university professor.

I am open to roles that involve teaching LIS courses; developing LIS curricula and programs; conducting LIS research and analysis; and writing, editing, and publishing scholarly and educational LIS content.

​

My primary interests in research are:

 

• Libraries as dysfunctional organizations and workplaces

  • Most recent book: Libraries as Dysfunctional Organizations and Workplaces

    • Via Routledge​

    • Via Amazon

​

• LIS in, for, and about the Arctic and North​

  • Most recent book (2024): Library and Information Sciences in Arctic and Northern Studies

    • Via Springer

    • Via Amazon

  • Previous book (2020): Library and Information Studies for Arctic Social Sciences and Humanities

    • Via Routledge​

    • Via Amazon

 

Apart from my work, I enjoy listening to synth, electronic, and 80s music and playing retro video games. I have a fondness for geometric abstract art, coffee, and cats.
