Jennifer A. Ferretti
Jennifer A. Ferretti (she/her) is an artist and Digital Initiatives Librarian at the Maryland Institute College (MICA) of Art on Piscataway Land (Baltimore, Maryland). She is a first-generation American Latina/Mestiza whose librarianship is guided by critical praxis, not neutrality. As MICA alum, her work as a librarian focuses on reframing the conversation around research and information literacy from a non-traditional discipline perspective, exploring non-Western forms of knowledge making and sharing, and emphasizing art is information. Jennifer is also Founder & Principal of We Here™️, a community and business that seeks to support library and archive workers who identify as Black, Indigenous, and People of Color, created in 2016 in response to the overwhelming and historical legacy of whiteness of library and information science professions.
