Digital Dialogue One Lecture | Archive Violence and Justice *MUST REGISTER*

Date: Oct 11, 2022 at 3:30pm to 5:00pm
The 2022-23 Society of Fellows programming brings together scholars, artists, activists, and archivists to explore the concept of the “archive” as a mode of inquiry, invention, and knowledge production. Troubling static notions of context and singular histories, the year’s Digital Dialogues and workshops provide an opportunity to explore established canons and conventions that sustain certain ways of knowing and remembering and the incompleteness of the historical record thereby engaging the power of archival practices as mechanisms of social justice. In the first dialogue, scholar-archivists will offer key concepts and framing questions to advance our conversation about decolonizing public history, archiving multi-voiced and community collections, the ethics and politics of memorialization, and governmentality and surveillance in documentation, among other topics. Featuring: Sine Hwang Jensen (Asian American and Comparative Ethnic Studies Librarian—Berkeley Ethnic Studies Library, University of California- Berkeley) Tara Hart (Managing Archivist—Whitney Museum of American Art; Visiting Assistant Professor—School of Information, Pratt Institute) Jennifer R. O’Neal (Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde; Archivist and Assistant Professor—Indigenous, Race and Ethnic Studies, University of Oregon) Moderator: Michelle Wibbelsman (Associate Professor of Spanish and Portuguese, Ohio State) RSVP LINK: https://airtable.com/shremXOA1Ht6DWS8H For Credit: Send a short reflection to apo.leadership.ai@gmail.com talking about the event and what you learned/took away from it.
