Library Projects

This workshop held in March 2024 at the University of Toronto Scarborough Library combined discussions on climate justice, libraries’ growing role in climate action, and zines as grassroots activism. Participants created zine pages by reflecting on the question: “how can our library address the hopes and fears of our patrons in the midst of climate change?” These pages were compiled into a physical zine housed in the UTSC Zine Library and shared with the broader community.

From Framework to Integrative Praxis: Pedagogy of Care, Culturally Sustaining Teaching, and Neuroinclusion in Library Learning

This poster was presented at the Center for Teaching and Learning’s Celebration of Teaching Showcase 2025. The poster explores my research and explorative teaching practice that strives to foster a supportive environment that acknowledges and supports the emotional aspects of research, values students’ ways of knowing, creates a culture of care and community and builds self confidence. This approach to teaching information literacy is both disability-conscious and justice-oriented, actively challenging ableist, racist and colonial harms embedded in academic structures.

Book Review: Transverse Disciplines: Queer-Feminist, Anti-Racist and Decolonial Approaches to the University

This book review examines Transverse Disciplines, an edited edition that reflects on the ways that academic disciplines can be reimagined through transformative collaborations and commitments to decolonial and anti-racist work. This volume asks difficult questions about how disciplines, and academia at large, might navigate changes necessitated by neoliberal policies, institutional mandates, financial urgencies, and other sociopolitical realities, and push back against other converging crises in our society. The authors answer these questions by focusing on our conceptions of disciplinary boundaries, through the reflection and contemplation of “transverse” orientations that cut across contexts, disrupt linear thinking, and destabilize normative systems embedded within our institutions.
