About
I am the interim librarian for Anthropology, Sociology, American Studies, American Indian Studies, and Asian American Studies.
I teach library workshops and course-integrated library and information literacy sessions. In the spring you can find me teaching a Research Spotlight section of CLA 1002. I also work with the Undergraduate Services Librarian to plan and coordinate Libraries involvement in university efforts to welcome new students.
Some of my interests include: social science research methods and study design; community-engaged scholarship; instructional design and teaching; assessment of library programs and services; and library support for undergraduate research.
