31st Annual Mortenson Distinguished Lecture
Join us for a lecture with Dr. Agnes Kaposi, who brings nearly a century of perspective as she tells her life story and the role of information as a source of power/control resulting in otherness, exclusion, propaganda, dislocation, as well as transformation in engineering change.
A conversation will follow, moderated by Dr. Valerie J. Matsumoto, to connect Dr. Kaposi’s experiences with those of other marginalized and dislocated groups worldwide, such as Japanese Americans, to identify similarities and differences across time and locations, as we aim to understand the Other and rethink some of the most pressing issues that libraries face in promoting equitable communities in our information-intensive and networked society.
This lecture is in celebration of the Mortenson Center’s 30th Anniversary.
This event is sponsored by Department of Asian American Studies, Center for Global Studies, European Union Center, The Program in Jewish Culture & Society, Illinois Library, Mortenson Center, Women & Gender in Global Perspectives Program, and the iSchool
