About
Book a consultation with me for help with research projects, assignments, and using the library.
I am the librarian for several social science and humanities disciplines (the ones listed above as well as disability studies and criminal justice) and collections coordinator for the social sciences. You can contact me for support in planning course assignments requiring the use of information materials, locating collections and data for your research, or using library collections or services.
Supporting undergraduate research brings me great joy, and so I often teach CLA 1002: Research Spotlight and CLA 3001: Research Seminar.
Committees and projects I am involved in are: Collections Strategic Steering Committee, Libraries Racial Equity in Collections group, and The Ojibwe People's Dictionary.
