SUMMARY:Editing with Disability/Illness/Neurodivergence
DESCRIPTION:This afternoon chat centers people who work as editors and are living with disability\, chronic illness\, and/or neurodivergence. It is open to everyone. The idea was partly inspired by an active peer group currently hosted by the Society of Authors (https://www.societyofauthors.org/Groups/Authors-Disabilities-Illnesses-Network). \nGroup agreements that will be open for discussion at the start of the chat:\n* Disclosure (of illness/disability/etc.) is welcome. Disclosure is not required.\n* There are no requirements. We participate (or not) in the ways that work for us.\n* We take care of ourselves. Stretch\, eat\, drink\, take a break\, etc.\n* We can’t be articulate all the time. We give each other the benefit of the doubt and ask questions.\n* We keep confidentiality: Learning goes\, stories stay. \nThe online chat this Thursday will have an open agenda\, loosely focused on work-life: How do we define\, handle\, and sustain our work as editors. What kinds of projects are a good fit? How do we obtain enough but not too much work (if that is even possible in editing!)? What have we learned and what can we learn from each other? \nThis event is free to attend and open to all editors.

SUMMARY:Mud\, Blood\, and Ghosts: Populism\, Eugenics\, and Spiritualism in the American West
DESCRIPTION:An archive survives to be revived. The archive as a limit\, a thing in a box\, is always also an opening. It opens on losses sustained\, harms inflicted\, the tenacity of survival\, and on the persistence of lineages both proud and shameful. But what is it to approach an archive\, to unlock the cabinet\, lift the top off the box\, to begin to read? It is to invite a haunting\, which nevertheless begins long before we open any books. And to invite the ghosts into the open\, one must be ready to hear what they teach. \nReading from her new book\, Mud\, Blood\, and Ghosts\, and screening a short film by Carolina Ebeid that engages archival images\, Julie Carr will tell the story of her great-grandfather\, Omer Madison Kem\, a settler in Nebraska\, a founding member of the Populist Party\, a three-term Congressman\, a practicing spiritualist\, and an avid eugenicist. Kem’s final years were spent in Oregon where he owned a power company and became a passionate advocate for the forced sterilization of all those he came to believe were “unfit” to breed. This talk will focus on the ties between the American eugenics movement\, American populism\, and the American West. \nA virtual presentation by Julie Carr\, author and professor of English\, University of Colorado\, Boulder

SUMMARY:How to Fall in Love With Typography
DESCRIPTION:Ellen Lupton wrote the classic textbook Thinking with Type. Researching the all-new third edition of this book meant questioning everything. What assumptions are baked into the English-speaking design vocabulary? How can type education become more forgiving? What stories lurk behind basic forms such as grids\, capital letters\, reverse stress\, and typographic widows? Thinking with Type\, Third Edition drops in March 2024 (Princeton Architectural Press). This talk will offer some tips\, tools\, and insights for working with type.
