Academic Interests and Areas of Expertise Information literacy, research practices, scholarly communication, and assessment practices in higher ed; Latin American, Caribbean, and Latino cultural productions, and representations of Latin America in U.S. media and film; social justice issues, especially as they intersect information flows (consumption, production, dissemination). My literary loves range from Edith Wharton to William Gibson. And while I still prefer to read books in their paper form, I am thrilled and in awe of the democratizing aspects enabled through digital collections.
