Central Michigan University Welcomes Joyce A. Baugh Discussing Segregation and Discrimination in Detroit
by Whitledge, Bryan R 09 Nov '20

09 Nov '20

On Thursday, November 12, at 7:00 pm, the Clarke Historical Library will host Dr. Joyce A. Baugh, retired professor of political science at Central Michigan University. Dr. Baugh will discuss how decades of segregation and racial discrimination in the Detroit metropolitan area have created and perpetuated racial inequities in housing, education, employment, and health care. Dr. Baugh is the author of The Detroit School Busing Case, Milliken v. Bradley and the Controversy over Desegregation. Her book examines the landmark 1974 Supreme Court decision<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milliken_v._Bradley> that effectively ended a major school integration plan to bus students across district lines in the Detroit metropolitan area. The Court's 5-4 decision hinged on the idea that if predominantly white school districts did not have an explicit policy of segregation, communities could not mandate busing to address the de facto segregation of schools that resulted from the geographic segregation of where people lived. This presentation is free and open to the public. The event will be broadcast via Central Michigan University's videoconferencing tool, Webex, and it will be recorded to enjoy at a later time. Registration is required for the event and the shortened link to register is: https://bit.ly/32mZmUf For those interested in the Clarke Historical Library Speaker Series Events that have been recorded this fall (A look at the Clarke's pop-up book exhibit, Matthew Reinhart on pop-up books, Carl Doud on mosquitoes and malaria, and Miles Harvey on James Jesse Strang), you can find them on YouTube<https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIxEoD5u5xz2cxprWzIPJXw>.

DEADLINE TODAY! Class I-III Next-Level Leadership Program
by Kristin Fontichiaro 09 Nov '20

*DUE TODAY! * On the off-chance that I'm not the only one feeling sluggish and sleep-deprived after watching too much late-night election coverage, we're extending the application deadline for the 2021 Next Level Leadership in Small and Rural Libraries program to this coming Monday, 11/9, at 2pm. The program seeks to build statewide collegiality and expertise in library leadership, with these four components: - Participation in twice-monthly professional development sessions from December 2020 - November 2021 - A monthly informal chat with colleagues to talk shop - A $1000 stipend to carry out a project designed for community impact - A face-to-face conference (fingers crossed!) in November 2021 designed and led by participants We know that we're all living in weird times, and you may think you can't stretch yourself further ... but consider that being part of a *group *could actually give you a network of colleagues and a deeper well of strategies to make this possible. Everything is online except for the November 2021 conference. A laptop and access to Google Drive are required. Participant expenses -- including acquisition of a laptop if you do not have one -- are covered with a $1000 professional growth stipend. Space is limited to 20 participants from Class I-III libraries who will be selected by application based on their application, geographical diversity, balance of class sizes, and variety of past experiences. Preference is given to library directors but is also open to department heads and assistant directors. The deadline for online applications has been extended to Monday, 11/9, at 2pm. To learn more: - View one of the recorded informational sessions (links here <https://libacad.sites.uofmhosting.net/apply-for-2021/>) - Read about the program here <https://libacad.sites.uofmhosting.net/apply-for-2021/>, see the schedule here <https://libacad.sites.uofmhosting.net/schedule/>, and read over the FAQs here <https://libacad.sites.uofmhosting.net/faqs/> While you're there, click on the "Conference" tab <https://libacad.sites.uofmhosting.net/conference/> to register for the 2019-2020 cohort's November 19 online conference: Leading Big in Small Spaces.
