Simmons University sponsors a three-student presentation “We Can Only Become What We Imagine: Taking Ownership Over Our Libraries’ Future Through a Social Informatics Lens.” Social informatics is the study of how technology impacts human behavior and vice versa. We, as librarians and information professionals, have a unique position of influence in this sphere—but only if we assert ourselves and make technology work FOR us. This session will discuss planned obsolescence and how we can reduce e-waste in libraries, how libraries and librarians can take power over our technological networks and how we can combat stereotypes and champion Black excellence in our collections. Free refreshments!

Free and open to the public. RSVP requested.

Generations of women fought for your rght to vote; now we must defend that vote—and use it! First proposed by the 1848 Seneca Falls Declaration of Sentiments, women’s demand for the right to vote was controversial—even scandalous in some quarters. Suffragists fought for 72 years to achieve the 19th Amendment in 1920, but astonishingly, women’s voting rights are once again up for debate in some quarters. In this talk, Smith College Professor of American Studies Carrie Baker explains the history and current challenges to women’s voting rights and how women are fighting to maintain our right to vote. Free and open to the public, RSVP requested. Co-sponsored by the League of Women Voters.
