SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Undoing Racism Workgroup
DESCRIPTION:The Undoing Racism Workgroup invites you to open dialogue and exploration of moving towards an Anti-Racist way of being on Thursday\, March 20\, 2025\, from 2 PM to 3:30 PM held over Zoom.\n\nUndoing Racism is a community collective of students\, staff\, and faculty in the School of Social Work dedicated to fighting white supremacy at individual\, school\, and structural levels. This workgroup was established in 2019 after the community took part in the People's Institute for Survival and Beyond Undoing Racism workshops and builds on their anti-racist community organizing model. No matter what role you play here at SSW\, you are always welcome and encouraged to come to Undoing Racism meetings.\n\nFor Social Work Month\, we will have Alan Barsky from Florida from Florida Atlantic University join us to have a discussion about the impact that state bans on diversity\, equity\, and inclusion have had on schools of social work.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Data\, Archives\, and Information in Society (DAIS) Seminar with Dr. Trevor Owens\, American Institute of Physics
DESCRIPTION:March 20 from 2:30 p.m. - 3:30 p.m.\nRackham East Conference Room and online\n\nReception and booking signing to follow from 3:30-5:30 p.m. in Rackham West Conference Room. \n\nA free copy of the speaker’s new book\, After Disruption: A Future for Cultural Memory (University of Michigan Press)\, will be available for in-person attendees while supplies last.\n\nThis event is sponsored by the University of Michigan School of Information (UMSI) and the University of Michigan Library.\n\nAbstract:\nLibrary and archives professionals often take collection centered mindsets to our work. Drawing on experience from two decades of work in digital history and cultural memory\, Owens will discuss approaches to work with collections that cultivate and support personal connections and belonging. This will include discussion of key points from his recently published book After Disruption: A Future for Cultural Memory\, in dialogue with practical examples from his work at the Library of Congress and the American Institute of Physics. He will show how ongoing work in libraries and archives can function as a context for action research to advance both theory and practice for how work with special collections can advance efforts in communities for equity\, justice\, and sustainability.\n\nSpeaker bio:\nTrevor Owens is chief research officer at the American Institute of Physics. Prior to joining AIP\, Trevor Owens was the director of Digital Services at the Library of Congress. Over the past decade\, Owens has held progressively senior roles\, advancing vision and strategies for the future of research organizations. While serving at the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS)\, he was responsible for convening representatives from libraries\, associations\, funders and technology innovators to establish the National Digital Platform framework. Through his work at the Library of Congress\, IMLS and the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media\, Owens gained extensive experience and background in history of science research\, library and archives leadership and management\, and applied social science research. He has a particular expertise and interest in the power of digital assets and content\, which aligns with AIP’s strategic vision. And in 2023\, he served as a member of AIP’s Blue-Ribbon Panel engaged to recommend a strategic vision for the future of AIP’s history\, library and archives programs.\n\nIn 2022\, Owens served as a Fulbright Specialist with the National Library of Kosovo\, leading the development of their first digital collections strategy. In 2021\, the American Library Association named Owens the recipient of the Frederick G. Kilgour Award for Research in Library and Information Technology\, an award that recognizes a body of research having a positive and substantive impact on the publication\, storage\, retrieval and dissemination of information.\n\nOwens is the author of three books\, the most recent of which\, The Theory and Craft of Digital Preservation\, was published by Johns Hopkins University Press in 2018 and has won outstanding publication awards from both the American Library Association and the Society of American Archivists. His next book\, After Disruption: A Future for Cultural Memory\, will be published by University of Michigan Press in the spring of 2024.
