As a librarian I’m very interested in how different and creative forms of research can be produced. The Mapping Ann-Marie Macdonald is a great example of what is possible with a great collaboration and a compelling idea.

I was introduced to Ann-Marie MacDonald’s work by Dr. Gordon in my first year. I joined this project because I am interested in the way disciplines can intersect and believe in the value of collaborative feminist research practices.
