About me
Dr. Ana Ndumu is an assistant professor at the University of Maryland College Park. Ndumu’s work focuses on the cross between social identity and information behavior, particularly how accessible and adequate information strengthens marginalized communities. Her studies are thus at the nexus of libraries, demography, and social inclusion. Her recent works examine the information worlds of African, Afro-Caribbean, and Afro-Latinx immigrants living in the U.S. Her publications include The Black Librarian in America: Reflections, Resistance, and Reawakening (Rowman & Littlefield, 2022) and Borders and Belonging: Critical Examinations of Library Approaches Toward Immigrants (Library Juice Press, 2020). She has published in the Journal of Documentation, Journal for Education in Library & Information Science, and Journal of Library and Information Science, among others.
