GUEST SPEAKER
Jennifer Garçon, Ph.D; Librarian for Modern and Contemporary Collections at Princeton University
ABOUT THE SPEAKER
In September 2021, Princeton University Library (PUL) welcomed Jennifer Garçon as the new Librarian for Modern and Contemporary Special Collections. Prior to joining Princeton, Garçon was at University of Pennsylvania, first as the Council on Library and Information Resources’ Bollinger Fellow in Public and Community Data Curation, and later as their Digital Scholarship Librarian. Garçon began her career as Collection Development Specialist at HistoryMiami Museum, and was soon promoted to Assistant Curator, where she worked to curate archival exhibits that responded to current social and political issues. Simultaneously, she worked as a Research Associate for the Radio Preservation Taskforce at the Library of Congress.
Garçon earned her master’s degree at Hunter College and her PhD in history at the University of Miami, where her dissertation, “Haiti’s Resistant Press in the Age of Jean-Claude Duvalier, 1971–1986,” explored the role of the oppositional news media in the overthrow of a 30-years long dictatorship.
