Amy Hildreth Chen bio

Hello, I’m Amy Hildreth Chen!

Currently, I’m the Program Director for Open Education at the American Indian Higher Education Consortium (AIHEC) and serve on committees for CCC OER and DOERS. Previously, I worked as a medical editor and project manager for two life science companies and an academic librarian at two state universities.

I received my PhD in English from Emory University in 2013 and am the author of Placing Papers: The American Literary Archives Market (University of Massachusetts Press, 2020) and 1,000+ Tips for Life Inside and Outside the Academy (Springer, 2022), among other publications. My most recent peer-reviewed article is “Designing an OER Outreach Program for Tribal Colleges and Universities with Fall 2024 Commercial Book Adoption Data,” which was published in the Journal of Open Educational Resources in Higher Education (JOERHE).
