RIT Kosovo Welcomes Librarian and Researcher Laura Brumleve to Faculty

RIT Kosovo is proud to welcome Laura Brumleve as a new member of its faculty. 

Brumleve is a librarian and researcher whose work examines how archival systems and information infrastructures influence access, collective memory, and institutional trust. She brings interdisciplinary expertise grounded in library science, sociology, and anthropology. She earned her Master of Library Science from Indiana University Bloomington and her Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and Anthropology from St. Olaf College. 

Throughout her career, Brumleve has worked across academic, public, and international research libraries, specializing in metadata practices, digital collections, and the broader social dimensions of information organization. Most recently, she served as a Fulbright Student Research Fellow in Kosovo through the Fulbright Program, where she conducted research on community archival networks and co-taught Technical Communication at RIT Kosovo during the Spring 2025 semester. 

Her appointment further strengthens RIT Kosovo’s interdisciplinary approach to communication, research, and information systems education, bringing a global and research-driven perspective to the classroom.
