Media Literacy, Civic Engagement, and Democracy

June 8, 2021 by Christopher Heckman

We’re happy to announce that the Library, Archives, and Media Center has partnered with the Center for the Study of Democracy to launch a program exploring the intersection of media, democracy, and civic participation in the United States.

As part of this program, the Library and the CSD will be hosting a series of lectures, film screenings, and workshops on topics related to media literacy, civic participation, and the networked information landscape. You can find more information on these issues, and on the project, on this resource guide the library has created.

In April of this year, we hosted Dr. Joan Donovan of the Berkman-Klein Center for Internet and Society, who gave a fascinating lecture on the spread of disinformation and misinformation online. A recording of her lecture is available on the Center for the Study of Democracy’s YouTube channel as well as on our research guide. Look for announcements about future events here, as well as on the Center for the Study of Democracy’s website!

Black Lives Matter Book Display

October 14, 2020 by Christopher Heckman

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!

Support & Solidarity for SMCM Students: Information & Resources

September 5, 2017 by Amanda VerMeulen

Support & Solidarity for SMCM Students: Information and Resources
http://libguides.smcm.edu/support-and-solidarity


Inspired by the Amherst College Library’s Amherst Uprising Information and Sources site, SMCM now has a Support and Solidarity mini-website where we can share:

  • all statements of support from departments, staff units, and student organizations on campus
  • resources on self-care and support for students
  • diversity, inclusion and anti-bias initiatives on campus, and how we can all get involved
  • resources for learning more about diversity, inclusion, and openness
  • and an anonymous form to suggest additional resources, organizations, and tools.

This is still a work in progress and will continue to evolve.
