My name is Candise Branum (she/they), and I am the Health Sciences Librarian at Gonzaga University. Previously, I worked as the Director of Library Services at the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine. I earned my BS in Sociology from Portland State University in 2005 and my MLS from Emporia State University in 2009.
Some things about me that affect who I am and how I see the world:
- White
- Queer
- First generation college student
- Documented
- Able-bodied
- Grew up working class, but now has financial security
I am passionate about education and racial and social justice. I am interested in radical pedagogy, information ethics, using technology to enhance UX, learning how to be an inclusive leader, and I believe wholeheartedly in both strategic planning and making things up as you go.
