[Asis-l] University of Alberta - School of Library and Information Studies - Welcomes new faculty member!

[Nancy J Evans]

The School of Library and Information Studies at the University of Alberta
is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Danielle Allard as an
Assistant Professor, starting July 1, 2017.



Dr. Allard joins SLIS after the completion of a two-year interdisciplinary
SSHRC Postdoctoral Research Fellowship at Mamawipawin at the University of
Manitoba. She holds a PhD from the Faculty of Information and a
collaborative masters degree (MISt) in Information Studies and Gender and
Equity Studies, from the University of Toronto.  Dr. Allard’s scholarly
pursuits fall at the intersection of culture and community, information
(its usages, representations, and institutions), and the role that
information plays in the promotion of a more ethical and socially just
world. Her interests include: the information practices of newcomer and
migrant communities; archival decolonization; Indigenous, community, and
activist archives; critical information studies; and the inclusion of
marginalized communities, cultural heritage, and knowledge domains in
digital and real-world information institutions. Dr. Allard has co-authored
a number of publications within both Information Studies and Women’s and
Gender Studies; her publications can be found in *Library Trends,* *Library
and Information Science Research*, and *Feminist Media Studies*. Active in
a number of community organizations and professional associations, Dr.
Allard is currently co-chair of the Canadian Association for Information
Science (CAIS) 2017 annual conference.  She is looking forward to bringing
her teaching experience from Women’s and Gender Studies to the SLIS program.
