The LAMC and the Center for the Study of Democracy welcome Dr. Joan Donovan of the Harvard Kennedy School’s Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics, and Public Policy. Dr. Donovan, who researchers online extremism and disinformation campaigns, will discuss disinformation in our media ecosystem, and its impact on American democracy.
This is a virtual event. Please register at: http://bit.ly/drjoandonovan
This event will kick off the Media Literacy, Civic Engagement, and Democracy Project. The project is a collaboration between the LAMC and the Center for the Study of Democracy. Expect to see further announcements for lectures, film screenings, and workshops in the Fall! For more information on media literacy, check out this guide.
On October 3rd, the Black Student Union and the SGA Programs Board held a special event called BLM @ St. Mary’s. Held to support the Black community at SMCM and to serve as a forum for discussion about racial injustice, the event featured speakers include the Department of Political Science’s Dr. Sahar Shafqat, and interim Chief Diversity Officer Kelsey Bush, as well as an open mic segment on the waterfront during which students shared creative works. In response to a request from the Programs Board and the BSU, the Library has put together a book display of materials related to racial justice issues, including systemic racism and police brutality, as well as highlighting works by Black authors. The display, located across from the Circulation Desk on the Library’s first floor, will be up for the rest of the semester, and all books are available to check out. Come visit the library and learn more about race and social justice!
