The research and scholarship I've developed over the course of my career focuses on the librarian as an instructional designer and partner, a role I not only examine, but also apply to my own work as an LIS researcher, by collaborating as much as possible with other researchers and disciplines – broadening the skillset, impact, and reach of the resulting work. The topics I explore are divided into four categories:
- The intersection between librarianship and instructional technology – how librarians support the development and application of critical thinking through technology-enabled learning;
- Instructional partnerships between library and information science professionals and other educators – the ways we prepare LIS professionals to engage in these partnerships;
- Instructional partnerships across the world – the librarian’s identity as a pedagogue; and
- How librarians can model and support inclusive practices, with a focus on first-generation immigrants and LGBTQIA+ populations.
