RESEARCH INTERESTS

My usual teaching assignments are in the LIS program, specifically LIS 9001: Perspectives on Library and Information ScienceLIS 9136: Information Equity: Social Justice in a Network Society, and LIS 9130: Information Policy

My teaching at Western has spanned a wide variety of formats, from large undergraduate lectures (200 students), LIS core courses (around 40 students), LIS electives (15-20 students), and smaller graduate seminars at both FIMS and the Centre for the Study of Theory and Criticism. My teaching efforts have been awarded with a FIMS Dean's Award for Excellence in Teaching in 2012, an honor that I am very proud of: http://www.fims.uwo.ca/about/news/news_items/12-11-15/Of_Interest_-_Faculty_News.aspx. In July 2014, I was also placed on the FIMS Dean's Honour Roll for Excellence in Teaching, and in Fall 2017 I was once again a finalist for the FIMS Dean's Award for Excellence in Teaching.
