Grant writes and collects bits of the web at https://networkeffects.ca.  

When not at a computer screen, Grant can be found making all sorts of noise with amplifiers or wandering shorelines.

Annelise Dowd has been a librarian at UNBC since July 2017. Annelise is currently in the role of Access Services Librarian and is the subject librarian for the English and Psychology departments. At its core, Annelise’s work supports research, technology, and access in our academic community. 

Annelise discovered the digital humanities while working on a project in the McGill Digital Initiatives Lab in graduate school and was immediately hooked. Annelise is predominantly interested in the way that DH projects can unearth repressed histories and give agency to marginalized voices.

You may have noticed that Annelise is listed as an “embedded librarian” in the syllabus. In this context this means that instead of joining a class for a single research guest lecture, the librarian is “embedded” within the physical or virtual space of the class, providing instruction and expertise when students need it most.

Away from the library, Annelise is likely riding a bike, hiking with a very hyper puppy named Magnus, or dreaming about singing karaoke again one day soon.
