Mayra Bonet, Ph.D.

Mayra Bonet earned her doctoral degree at the University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill. She has worked at several institutions of higher education and has conducted research in South America, Canada, and Russia. Over the years, her interdisciplinary background has allowed her to teach courses in romance languages, literature and film, visual culture, and linguistics; to deliver presentations at conferences in the United States and abroad; and to lead workshops on instruction and assessment. Her interest in information science stems from a chapter of her dissertation that explored textual analysis and the application of digital frameworks. At UNC’s School of Information and Library Science (SILS), Dr. Bonet expanded her academic interest by focusing on intercultural competence, critical and feminist pedagogy, and health literacy and minority health. After earning her master’s degree in library science, she has expanded her research to include multidisciplinary approaches to text analysis. Her work examines domains such as the intersection of climate change, gender, and health; she has presented these findings at national conferences. Her latest research explores the evolving discourse of artificial intelligence in academic libraries, assessing its adoption and implications on instruction and research.
