Hi there! As you all know, I’m the open knowledge librarian here at BMCC, and this I believe . . . Knowledge is a public good and a human right. We need to continually develop and defend the knowledge commons so that every human being has access to humanity’s accumulated knowledge. I strive to create spaces that celebrate, spark, and engage the potential of every human being to create knowledge. So many of our students have been taught to be knowledge consumers; at BMCC, they can learn to claim space and raise their voices up as knowledge creators.
My book pile is large and teetering; two at the top are On Repentance and Repair: Making Amends in an Unapologetic World by Danya Ruttenberg and Rest Is Resistance: A Manifesto by Tricia Hersey.
So happy to be in community with everyone here and look forward to learning with you!
