Hi there! I’m Craig, Open Educational Resources (OER) & Research Librarian. My time is currently split between working with Open Knowledge Librarian jean amaral on the IMLS-funded “College Fluency Capacity Building” grant, and working on BMCC’s OER and open pedagogy ecosystems. I also am heavily involved in the library podcast booth, leading class workshops and one-on-one tutorials in Audacity.
Beyond critical LIS and open knowledge approaches, my academic interests are in transnational feminist theory, critical agrarian studies and global political economy, with a particular emphasis on Third World Marxist perspectives. I am also interested in scholarship on contemporary China, especially that which attends to the relationship between systemic transformations in the global political economy, rising South–South cooperation, and the ascendance of China’s socialist market economy. I’m currently reading Radhika Desai’s book Capitalism, Coronavirus, and War: A Geopolitical Economy (2023), Neferti X. M. Tadiar’s book Remaindered Life (2022), and the edited volume Economic and Monetary Sovereignty in 21st Century Africa (2021).
I’m thrilled to participate in these workshops!
