SUMMARY:Discussion of the film\, Coded Bias
DESCRIPTION:“Modern society sits at the intersection of two crucial questions: What does it mean when artificial intelligence (AI) increasingly governs our liberties? And what are the consequences for the people AI is biased against? ‘Coded Bias’ follows MIT Media Lab researcher Joy Buolamwini’s startling discovery that many facial recognition technologies fail more often on darker-skinned faces. Buolamwini delves into an investigation of widespread bias in artificial intelligence and the person-made and machine-learned algorithms that drive it. As it turns out\, AI is not neutral\, and women are leading the charge to ensure our civil rights are protected.” \nGo to https://sites.google.com/cvsdvt.org/coded-bias-vermont-screening/press-release to sign up to watch the movie. Watch it for free anytime before 3/8. Then join us on Monday\, March 8th at 7pm to discuss this timely and critically important film. A Windsor Public Library Event (Windsor County.) \nZoom invite info can be found at http://www.windsorlibrary.org/programs_for_adults.aspx#codedbias

SUMMARY:1st Thursday -- Using critical whiteness to study the experience of race in libraries
DESCRIPTION:Emily Crist\, Champlain College. \nDespite an increasing awareness of the structural racial oppression and inequities within our society and institutions\, little research has worked to unpack how library practitioners understand the way race shows up in our spaces\, policies\, procedures\, behaviors\, and habits. This session will discuss a qualitative study that used a critical whiteness lens to explore (1) how whiteness is experienced within academic libraries and (2) what contexts and settings both locally and nationally (re)create habits of whiteness. This session will introduce critical whiteness and critical librarianship and will detail five resulting themes arising from interviews with academic librarians that describe how whiteness functions within libraries of higher education. \nRegistration link: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZYvceGtrDosGNEivCbtcQmNLuXgXsTE2q5K

SUMMARY:Vermont Humanities Council presents: Daisy Turner’s Kin
DESCRIPTION:Vermont folklorist Jane Beck shares the story of the Turner family\, a multigenerational saga spanning two centuries\, played out across three continents.

During that time\, she traveled the back roads of Vermont recording oral interviews of every day Vermonters\, and produced a variety of media productions\, exhibitions\, and publications. \nIn retirement\, she has completed a book\, Daisy Turner’s Kin\, an African American Family Saga\, based on sixty interviews with the daughter of slaves. \nThis program is presented in partnership with the Vermont Humanities Council as part of their Speakers Bureau.
