Meagan became a librarian primarily because she is attracted to the profession’s core values—its democratic mission and its commitment to lifelong learning through information literacy. As Guttman’s information literacy librarian, her main task is to empower students to use information critically to learn and to create new knowledge. Having previously worked in public and private K-12 schools, she saw firsthand the difference information makes, the advantage—the privilege—of better access. So, whether she is teaching in the classroom, or meeting with a student for a research consultation, or providing access to faculty scholarship by posting their work to CUNY’s online intuitional repository, her goal is to narrow this divide. Information literacy, the ability to recognize when one needs information and to effectively find, evaluate, and use the needed information is important not only to one’s academic success but also to one’s social and political well-being. Without IL skills, one cannot participate in democracy, and one cannot be free. Key Research Interests Critical information literacy, reading literacy, children’s literature

After completing her Doctorate in Education at Teachers College, Columbia University, Professor Ungemah became a founding faculty member of Guttman Community College in 2011. Professor Ungemah’s research interests are curriculum studies and in the desire for praxis between the theoretical work of critical curriculum studies and the act of enacting curriculum in the classroom. She is interested in culturally relevant and sustaining pedagogy, hyperdiverse classroom contexts, immigrant student populations, and issues in urban education. Her current research is on curriculum and cruel optimism and a collaborative project on the unintended consequences of culturally relevant curricula. Professor Ungemah has published in Anthropology and Education Quarterly, The Journal of Adolescent and Adult Literacy, English Journal, and Learning Communities Research and Practice. She is an ethnographic researcher who is strongly committed to the scholarship of teaching and learning. Although English faculty by title, Professor Ungemah’s teaching is interdisciplinary in nature. She has created and taught the college’s Arts in New York City Course, Ethnography of Education/Work, and Cities in Film, Literature, and Theory course. She believes community college students should participate in authentic ethnographic research upon entering higher education, and incorporates ethnography in/across the majority of her classes. Professor Ungemah lives in Brooklyn with her family and cats where she is an active supporter of public schools, city parks, and New York City’s beaches.
