I wrote a chapter about solidarity, care, and how becoming a mom made me mad about my Indigenous kid not being able to access cultural knowledge that belongs to him. Virtual book launch on Monday! libraryjuice.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

"academic librarians should not be complicit in higher education’s efforts to downplay the negative impact of ChatGPT on student learning. No amount of prompt engineering can prevent ChatGPT from generating responses containing erroneous information and logical fallacies."

When I meet with students about their research, I try hold what else this question competing with. A deadline, personal stuff, childcare, classes, health...so many things are more important than the research question.
That doesn't devalue it; it just puts it into perspective.

I didn't know Robyn well, but I am sad to see her passing. There are not that many Indigenous librarians and for years, I admired the the work she was doing in Thunder Bay to make the library more welcoming and encourage them to hear what people need.

This talk was such a tour de force. Making the connection between âniskôhôcikan (stringing beads) and âniskotapan (great grandparents/children) in the ways that non-linear time connects them closely. Chelsea is the best.
Tell you friends! Tell your enemies! Tell your friends enemies! It's going to be awesome!

I see a lot of students working on projects and rarely get to enjoy the end result - but today was the Faculty of Native Studies Research Day and all day long I got to appreciate all this brilliant work!

Mount Royal Library is hiring for my old position: mtroyalca.hua.hrsmart.com/hr/ats/Posti.... The due date to apply is April 8.

There are many great things about this job, but the thing I will miss terribly the 2 months of paid vacation. Let me know if you have any questions about it!

As I get ready to head back to work, I'm happy to see this podcast conversation with Derritt Mason out! We talked about rowdy classrooms and how covid changed our ability to visit

Off to Edmonton for a new job at UAlberta! The rare chance to be an Indigenous academic working in my home territory.

I'll miss Calgary! I started at MRU in 2012, a goofy Native kid pretending to be a grownup, but so many people mentored me and said the quiet parts out loud.

Starting to emerge from this sweet little post-partum cocoon and realizing that I missed smart chatter. And concision. So, hello!
