I'm on Sabbatical until June 2020 so am not teaching or supervising any guided research or individual study projects in the 2019-20 academic year.


Research: I have two active research projects at the moment. The first is a study of everyday recordkeeping: how people "keep track" of things in their lives. This study was funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. I'm embarking on a new a pilot study of how people value public libraries, and I hope to expand this into a larger project during my 2019-20 sabbatical.
