February GC Library events
Citations To and Citations From: Following the Scholarly Conversation
February 11 @ 3:00 pm – 4:00 pm
How do researchers put their publications and other works in scholarly context – how do they make clear whose work they’re building on and whose work is related to theirs? Citations! Come learn how citations are used (and sometimes abused!) in scholarly communication, as well as what they do and don’t say about the cited works. We’ll also look at some research tools that include citation information, and how to use that information in your own research process. This workshop is part of the Scholarly Communication Essentials workshop series. It is geared toward GC master’s students but open to everyone at CUNY.
Fair Use in the Digital Humanities
February 12 @ 10:00 am – 12:00 pm
A crash course on fair use, particularly for digital scholarship projects that use copyrighted works as data. We will look at the wiggle room built into the fair use clause of U.S. copyright law, and at what that wiggle room has allowed. We will also look at the increasing importance of transformativeness in court rulings about fair use. This workshop is being offered as part of NYCDH Week 2021.

Open Knowledge Intensive: Presenting Abolition Science Radio
February 25 @ 5:00 pm – 6:00 pm
Join us for a lively conversation featuring the Abolition Science Radio team, LaToya Strong, Aderinsola Gilbert, and Atasi Das. Abolition Science Radio envisions a science and math delinked from racial capitalism, imperialism, and oppression—a science and math that serves all people and is openly accessible online. During this interactive event, we will discuss the overlap between abolitionist practice and open pedagogy. This event is supported by a Doctoral Curriculum Enhancement Grant through the Publics Lab, funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
