I am Critical Pedagogy Librarian at the Mina Rees Library at the Graduate Center, City University of New York. I have worked in libraries for more than twenty years in positions ranging from looseleaf legal filer to library director. I believe in building worker power as a means of transforming our workplaces, communities, and ourselves.
We must help our publics understand the connections between our daily practices of selection, acquisition, description, circulation, and preservation of information to broader movements for a more just society. I believe this is a story I can help all of us tell.
I live in Brooklyn, New York with my partner, Marta, our teenage son, and Gary, Patsy, and Tom, our three beloved cats.
