Season 1: #3 - Alex Gil, Columbia University Libraries

Rocking the Academy - Un pódcast de Mary L Churchill, Roopika Risam

In this episode of Rocking the Academy, co-hosts Roopika Risam and Mary Churchill talk with Alex Gil, Digital Scholarship Librarian at Columbia University, about his ideas for the future of higher education. We talk with Alex about the ways his background in postcolonial and textual scholarship led him to work in digital humanities, the nature of labor in libraries, and his visionary work beyond the boundaries of the university through projects like Rikersbot. Alex sees hope for a different future of higher ed in this collaborative work being done outside of the academy. Find us on Twitter: @roopikarisam, @mary_churchill, and @elotroalex
