Lay Summaries: Writing

This workshop helps researchers understand how lay summaries differ from abstracts, the multiple purposes of lay summaries, and how lay summaries enhance science communication and increase research visibility. Participants will write or revise a lay summary (thesis, dissertation, research article), and receive feedback from the workshop facilitators and other participants. Registration required.

iSchool Colloquia 2019-2020 | (De)colonial Spaces of Memory Activism

Increasingly, memory institutions are reconsidering modes of memory transfer and (de)colonization. As decolonized voices push back against memory institutions originally designed to colonize them, we hear languages, stories, knowledge and pedagogies of colonized peoples, who were left out of traditionally dominant, historical narratives.
