Rob Walsh: Who I Am

I'm Rob. I'm the Social Sciences Librarian. I work with the Economics, Educational Studies, Political Science, Psychology, Public Policy, and Sociology departments. Of course, if you need research help beyond these disciplines, feel free to get in touch. 

While my primary focus is research and critical thinking, I also have a background in popular culture (especially comix, zines, hip hop, and punk rock), subcultures, and critical race theory.
