This daylong event will offer the opportunity for reflection on the programming of the past year and consider its impact on the understanding of Baltimore's future narratives.

Join us for a community conversation about the importance of coalitions in building democracy, fostering social justice, and improving Baltimore’s future, 10/29/16 at 1:00pm

New MITH Assistant Director of Innovation and Learning Purdom Lindblad will lead this discussion about reading as a way to open ourselves to deepen empathy and entice our curiosity. Influenced by feminist interface design, this talk will focus on the design and creation of visualizations – as finding aids, and as maps into the landscape of a personal corpus. These visualizations enable movement between big-picture views of the corpus and close-readings of individual books, and can reveal adjacent thematic possibilities.

The event will consider together the roles and positions of women in the Baltimore narrative, and how the roles and positions of women and girls have historically been included or excluded in social change narratives.
