Change the Subject Documentary Screening with Livestream Q&A
6 to 8 p.m.
PCL 2.370 (Lab 1)

Change the Subject shares the story of a group of college students, who from their first days at Dartmouth College, were  committed to advancing and promoting the rights and dignity of undocumented peoples.  In partnership with staff at Dartmouth, these students – now alumni – produced a film to capture their singular effort at confronting an instance of anti-immigrant sentiment in their library catalog.  Their advocacy took them all the way from Baker-Berry Library to the halls of Congress, showing how an instance of campus activism entered the national spotlight, and how a cataloging term became a flashpoint in the immigration debate on Capitol Hill.

Join UT Libraries and the School of Information Diversity and Inclusion Committee for a screening of this film, followed by am livestream Q&A.
