I am a phd student at university of michigan school of information
I am primarily interested in epistemic injustice
as a framework to evaluate how communities
create and preserve information
and build new archival worlds.
Research
interests
I am focused on the creation and absence of community archives through the lens of epistemic injustice. I use this framework to explore archive creation and record retrieval. How might communities reimagine and find themselves in a world of societal erasure through recordkeeping and community archiving? I am also increasingly curious about how joy is captured in community archives, and how those archives can act as sites of resistance for a community that has experienced relentless epistemic harm.
