Library & Information Science (LIS) Interests

I decided to pursue an MLIS because I had spent several years, cumulatively, doing clerical work in academic and legal libraries. I liked the work, I liked the environment, I thought, “why not?” What I discovered over the course of my studies was something far more interesting and meaningful than I had anticipated.

LIS research topics I am excited about include, but are not limited to:

  • Video games and academic libraries - issues related to their inclusion in collections, incorporating them into programming, and serious games.

  • Information, data, media, and technology ethics.

  • How to incentivize the high-cost behaviors and complex modes of thought in spite of sticky apps and the accepted logic that less friction is better.

  • What we lose in the human experience when we reduce friction.

  • We spend so much time envisioning what technology might do for us, above all, how it will enrich us. I argue we should devote as much time to the question of what makes a human life meaningful and fulfilling, and design technology from there.

  • Literacy, including traditional read and writing, digital literacy, cultural literacy, and media literacy.

  • Applying narrative to information literacy instruction, and narrative as an information communication technology (ICT).

  • Can technology be used to offset the harms of technology?
