I have a Ph.D. in English from UNC-Chapel Hill. I have worked at OSU Libraries for 10 years and currently am the OSU Libraries Subject Librarian for English. For the past six years I've done a lot of work in digital storytelling, particularly in terms of community-building in the academic environment. (I am a founding member of the OSU Digital Storytelling Team.) This summer I will be part of an OSU team sponsoring a digital storytelling workshop for deaf high school students from the Columbus community. Partners include the OSU Dept. of English, the Digital Union, the American Sign Language Program, the Office of Disability Services, and the University Libraries, as well as several community agencies serving the deaf.
