Welcome

This is the personal website of Alyn Gamble, an information professional currently based in Boston, Massachusetts. I am non-binary and use they series pronouns. 

I am a PhD candidate at Simmons University's School of Library and Information Science. In my doctoral studies, I focus on the information behaviors of sexual and gender minority individuals in recovery from addictive substances and behaviors. My other investigations have focused on queering information behavior research, the impact of stigma on health information-seeking behavior, and the use of AI chatbots in mobile applications for mental health. 

I am also the STEM Librarian at Northeastern University and an affiliated faculty member in the Writing, Literature, and Publishing Department at Emerson College. My professional background includes work in digital publishing, information literacy, and scholarly communications, as well as developing digital repositories. I've also conducted research and provided instruction in digital humanities and research data management. 

When away from screens, I enjoy running, birdwatching, reading, performing improv comedy, and attending concerts and theatrical productions.
