Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJenna Freedman is the founding curator and current Director of the Barnard Zine Library with 11 years of professional experience building collections, teaching with primary materials, and supporting research at Barnard College. A longtime library activist, she co-founded Radical Reference, Librarians and Archivists with Palestine, and the #critlib community, and speaks and writes on zine librarianship, structural inequality, and library labor. She blends hands-on curation and digital humanities training (MA, CUNY Graduate Center) with program leadership—cultivating student workers and a part-time zine technician while collaborating across academic departments. Based in New York, she brings deep institutional memory from two decades at Barnard and a rare specialty in zines that bridges grassroots publishing, pedagogy, and archival practice. An often-overlooked strength is her ability to translate activist networks into sustainable library programs that support research, teaching, and community care.
