Library, Archives, and Media Center Statement of Solidarity

April 15, 2016 by Amanda VerMeulen

For more information and to see statements from other campus departments and groups:
Support & Solidarity for SMCM Students: Information and Resources
http://libguides.smcm.edu/support-and-solidarity


 

 

We are part of a community that values: intellectual, creative, and scholarly exploration; the power of a diverse community; and relationships built on mutual respect, integrity, and trust. We also live in the real world, and we believe that by engaging in ongoing dialogue, our community can shape the changing world. We can try to make this world a better place.

As a library, we have a responsibility to be a space welcome to all, where the free access to information and the free expression of ideas foster and encourage open discourse in our community. As members of the St. Mary’s community, we recognize the important difference between expression of a dissenting point-of-view and expression meant to belittle, dehumanize, and harm others.

We in the library, archives, and media center condemn the recent events at the Natty Boh hunt and all previous incidents of bigotry, bias, harassment, and hate speech that have occurred on campus and through various social media outlets. These actions are antithetical to what we want our college and our community to be. We stand in solidarity with our students who are targets of hateful speech and actions.

Author Ram Devineni, co-creator of the graphic novel Priya’s Shakti, will be speaking about the work on Tuesday, April 12 at 4:30 in Cole Cinema.

Priya’s Shakti is about a mortal woman and a goddess who fight gender-based sexual violence in India and around the world.

The college recently purchased panels of the comic which have been indefinitely installed on the second floor of the Library along the long wall with the window seat across from the last row of Stacks shelves.

Additionally, the comic is an open publication, available to read on the web and downloadable to a number of e-readers.
