Kate Crowe

she/her/hers
Curator of Special Collections and Archives at the University of Denver. Have also worked in metadata for non-bibliographic materials, but now focused on teaching critical information literacy w/primary sources. I also teach Intro to Archives and Advanced Archives for the DU LIS school.
Areas of expertise
The above, also I am the child of academic library administrators, both of whom chose to get doctorates in LIS, so I have literally spent my life in academic libraries and around academic librarians, so I understand them historically and culturally pretty well (for better and worse). I have literally never not worked in academia. I also research/write quite a bit about inclusion, equity, and diversity in the historical record, much of which relates back to how/what I teach, both in the archives and in the LIS classroom
