Welcome, Prof. Andrew Flinn

GSLIS welcomes Dr. Andrew Flinn, our first Allen Smith visiting scholar, as a visiting professor during the Spring semester. Andrew is a Senior Lecturer and the Director of the Archives and Records Management program in the Department of Information Studies at University College London (UCL).

In addition to giving a public lecture later in the semester as part of his visiting scholar obligations, Flinn will be teaching LIS 433 (Oral History), working with doctoral students, and assisting with the Cultural Heritage internships. His areas of expertise include community archives, memory studies, oral history, and archival issues around truth and reconciliation commissions, political identity, and cultural property. While in the U.S. he plans to continue his research on community archives from an American perspective.
