April 2025 Table of Contents Newsletter - National Library Week / PCPL
Full text linkWhat draws people to the library? Everything! From books and digital resources to job assistance and creative programming, libraries are essential to thriving communities. National Library Week, April 6– 12, 2025, is a time to celebrate the many ways libraries bring people together, spark imagination, and support lifelong learning.
We’re happy to celebrate our colleagues’ work at the Putnam County Public Library, right around the corner from campus. If you live or work in Putnam County, you’re able to get a library card and use their resources. While we have some overlapping collections, PCPL has a lot more in terms of recreational reading, including e-books and audiobooks.
Institute for Museum and Library Services grants have been paused. These funds have been used locally at PCPL to extend services and programming to the community. If you’d like to help, you can reach out to your congressional representatives to ask them to prioritize this agency’s mission
Training Aztlán to Act: Chicanx Theatre, TENAZ, and Theatre as Social Change
No full textExcerpt: As mainstream theatre history would have it, the Chicanx theatre movement began in 1965 with the first actos staged as part of Cesar Chavez\u27s farmworkers\u27 movement and ended in 1981 with Luis Valdez\u27s film adaptation of his play Zoot Suit.1 This imagined trajectory makes for a tidy story arc that follows a marginalized population from the grape fields of California to the bright lights of Broadway and Hollywood. These bookends also serve as exemplars of the Chicanx theatre movement\u27s emphasis on social justice; the former used theatre as a tool for organizing labor unions while the latter drew attention to racist policing practices and a discriminatory legal system. For many historians, Valdez and the collective of artists that comprised El Teatro Campesino in its first two decades constitute the whole of Chicanx theatre, a movement that gave way to the growth of a broader Latinx theatre that continues today. Those who have engaged in a deeper study of the movement, however, have long recognized it as a rich and diverse phenomenon composed of hundreds of teatros across and even outside of the United States, many of which have actively centered social and political concerns including labor rights, Latinx education, and anti-war protest, among others

Unhurried Dialogue: Letter Writing, Nostalgia, and the Art of Slow Connection in Slow Media: Sensibility, Process, and Technology
No full textFrom the publisher: This edited volume focuses on slow media, an approach that fosters intentional and thoughtful engagement with media of all forms. Contributors explore our individual and community relations with analog and digital media by critiquing current power structures underpinning contemporary media sensibilities, processes, and technologies. Through these critiques, the authors pose crucial questions surrounding how to slow down and be intentional within the landscape of accelerated media technology innovation and ubiquity. Building on existing media studies theory, the essays in this volume explore case studies of the intersections between analog and digital media, share insights from personal slow media projects, and propose useful methods for ethical and thoughtful media practices for both producers and audiences. Ultimately, this volume prompts readers to contemplate and reconsider the role of media technologies in contemporary life
Genocide Education: What is it, and Why is it Important?
Full text linkThis paper explores the critical importance of implementing genocide education in public school curricula across the United States. It argues that while Holocaust education has seen gradual inclusion in educational mandates, broader genocide education remains insufficient and inconsistently applied. Drawing from historical developments, legislative trends, and pedagogical strategies, the study emphasizes how comprehensive genocide education fosters civic awareness, combats ignorance, and equips students with tools to recognize and resist systemic discrimination and mass atrocities. The author highlights the urgency of this educational reform through personal narrative, legislative analysis, and advocacy frameworks, proposing a model that integrates historical case studies, survivor testimonies, and global human rights perspectives. Ultimately, the work positions genocide education as a vital component of democratic schooling, essential for nurturing informed, ethical, and engaged citizens. (AI created summary
