Hi there,

I’m an academic librarian at Thompson Rivers University where I run the TRU Library Makerspace. I also Co-Chair the Librarians’ Department. These days I am particularly interested in creating active learning spaces that foster belonging and encouraging sustainability and ecological thinking.

This site is primarily a way for me to experiment with thinking-in-public.

• Posts are thoughts about a thing or idea.
• Weeknotes are a habit I’m trying to create where each week I quickly share some writing (and links) as a thinking-in-public process without worrying too much about them being fully formed. The idea is that the potential visibility acts as a nudge to develop them a bit more than if they were private, but the lack of an expectation for them to be polished means I actually write them.

I miss when social media was at least useful, but you can find me on bluesky at @franklinsayre.bsky.social and I have a CV on LinkedIn that is probably out of date but if you want a response from me email is probably your best bet.
