Professor, University of Hawaii

I am a Full Professor in the Library and Information Science Program, which is part of the Information and Computer Sciences Department at the University of Hawaii.

My research is focused on international, interdisciplinary and comparative inquiry into censorship, intellectual freedom (access to information as a human right), literacy, identity, nationalism, the history of books and libraries, book burning and the destruction of libraries, and the link between extremism and cultural destruction.
