1. Researchers must provide evidence to support their work and advocate for their values. 2. Conducting research requires a systematic investigation similar to researching for a novel. 3. Collaboration with students is mutually beneficial, as students provide new perspectives while the researchers gain insights into open questions.

Research for an event is the
equivalent of researching for a
novel. A systematic
investigation…

someone as an outsider, the

about techniques to push
margins and not repeating
what you've done in the

There's a syzygy… and for me
a great research moment is
when all of those things line
up: you see how to connect a
cultural theme, a library
program, a new technical
resource, in a single project.

Students are working on
answers to questions I want
to know. If you were investing
time with little return then
it might be frustrating. ….
to be honest these students
are better than me so I am on
win working with them.
