My research interests include the ethical and theoretical considerations in building diverse archival collections; using primary sources and a critical pedagogical approach to examine archival silences around race and ethnicity; the emotional labor of BIPOC archivists at the forefront of DEI initiatives and retention within the profession; self-care for archivists who manage collections with traumatic materials; the affective archival record; double consciousness and identity construction through archival resources.
