I am dedicated to activating collections for constructivist and experiential learning, and to sharing my enthusiasm for archives, museums, and heritage with students. Over the past 12 years, I have been actively learning, teaching and developing course materials in and for heritage environments, and am committed to bringing my passion for hands-on learning to future courses.
I am currently recruiting students at the University of Maryland’s College of Information Studies (iSchool)—get in touch at dmarsh(at)umd.edu if you’re interested!
And, check out our iSchool PhD website, this MLIS informational video, our graduate handbook, and this video for more on the UMD iSchool and program.
