Adam Beauchamp

Adam Beauchamp serves as Assistant Professor and Head of Research & Instruction at Loyola University New Orleans' Monroe Library, where he leads the instruction program, develops research support services, and coordinates the Teaching and Learning Team including the library's liaison program for disciplinary specialties.

His academic credentials include:

• Master of Library & Information Science, Louisiana State University (2010)
• Master of Arts in History, Tulane University (2005)
• Bachelor of Arts in History, Niagara University (2002)

He is currently pursuing a PhD in History at Florida State University focusing on Gulf Coast archival assembly and colonial memory preservation.

Beauchamp's research critically examines information literacy pedagogy through decolonial frameworks, investigating ethical assessment practices and the historical entanglement of archives with colonialism. His work emphasizes power dynamics in knowledge organization and advocates for transformative library practices that confront imperial legacies while building ethical information ecosystems.

Analysis of his 2014-2023 publications reveals three dominant trajectories: 1) Archival studies focused on colonial memory and land sovereignty; 2) Critical examinations of educational technology ethics including anti-proctoring advocacy; 3) Data literacy frameworks integrating privacy pedagogy with curricular design. His scholarship consistently bridges historical methodology with contemporary library practice, particularly regarding Florida's colonial archives and censorship history.

As administrative leader, Beauchamp oversees the library's liaison program providing specialized research support for English, History, Honors, Philosophy, and Religious Studies departments, while maintaining an active research agenda through his doctoral work on Gulf Coast archival assembly.
