I am a research data librarian at University of Nebraska-Lincoln Libraries<\/a>. Before coming to Nebraska, I was a data librarian at Michigan State University<\/a> Library<\/a>. While at MSU, I was affiliated faculty of the Animal Studies Graduate Specialization (a role I began in 2011), the Center for Gender in Global Context, and DH@MSU. I came to MSU after two years as a Council on Library and Information Resources<\/a> (CLIR) Postdoctoral Fellow<\/a> at University of California, Los Angeles<\/a>, in the Library<\/a>. I work on data curation and data management projects, researching data management and curation issues for academic libraries and researchers.<\/p>\n

I also served as a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Informatics<\/a> at University of California, Irvine<\/a>. The projects I worked on were collaborative and distributed, and I was able to continue living in Detroit, Michigan while working on knowledge infrastructure and data projects. I was affiliated with the Animal Studies Graduate Specialization<\/a> and the Center for the Study of Standards in Society, both of which are at Michigan State University<\/a>. I did time as an Assistant Professor in the School of Library and Information Science at Wayne State University.<\/p>\n

I earned a PhD in History of Consciousness<\/a> at University of California, Santa Cruz<\/a>. My dissertation supervisor was Donna Haraway, and my dissertation, Technobibliocapital: Knowledge, Practice, and Play in Library Worlds<\/em>, brought critical theory and feminist science and technology studies to bear on epistemology, gendered labor, technological discourses, and categorization in library science.<\/p>\n

I grew up on a ranch in Arizona, and in a family of avid and curious readers. I am at least a little bit interested in everything, and very interested in a large handful of things. I have been able to attend to these varied matters through my multi- and interdisciplinary theoretical and methodological training. Broadly, I am concerned with human-animal interactions; gendered labor and the labor of care; data, categories, and classification systems, and the related area of information systems; reproductive and statistical technologies used in livestock breeding and human family making; biologies and technologies of all kinds. I am especially curious about the places these things overlap.<\/p>\n

Sometimes I have free time. In that free time, I like to hike, garden, play ukulele, putter around with my vintage Vespa and Rambler (both of which I maintain myself), or work on a DIY project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
