I have been a graduate archival educator since 1997. I am currently Clinical Associate Professor, School of Information, University of Michigan (UMSI), faculty lead of UMSI’s Global Information Engagement Program in Cape Town, visiting scholar at the Mzala Nxumalo Centre for the Study of South African Society, and archival consultant to the Museum and Archives of the Constitution at the Hill (MARCH) in Johannesburg. I have published and presented in a wide range of professional forums examining recordkeeping and accountability, archiving and the shaping of the present and the past, social justice impact of archives, freedom of information, government secrecy, professional ethics, electronic records management, graduate archival education, and live music archiving. I have edited a double issue of Archival Science on “Archives and the Ethics of Memory Construction” (2011); co-edited Archives and the Public Good: Accountability and Records in Modern Society (2002), and was series technical editor to twelve volumes of the National Security Archive's The Making of U.S. Policy series (1989-1992). Substantial consultations include South African History Archive’s Freedom of Information Programme (2002-2005), Stories For Hope, an intergenerational storytelling project in Rwanda (2009-2015), and The Kresge Foundation (2014-present).
