Rachael Huegerich is a research assistant with the Information Climate Action team and a recent MLIS graduate from the University of British Columbia. They come from a German-American family of farmers and artists in rural Iowa, on the ancestral lands of the Báxoje Máyaⁿ (Ioway) Nation and the Očhéthi Šakówiŋ (Sioux). Their professional career spans schools, community archives, and public libraries, all of which have provided opportunities to nurture learners and imaginers in rural communities. With experience as an English as a Second Language teacher and public library storytime facilitator, Rachael is interested in embodied, place-based, non-hierarchical learning across the lifespan. Their projects, in both professional work and library school courses, emphasize growing and tending relationships across more-than-human ecosystems in small communities. They are drawn to local, thoughtful, and inter/multi-generational approaches to climate justice.
