Davis to The Ohio State University Libraries’ faculty as our Japanese Studies Librarian. In this position, Ann Marie will provide research services, develop distinctive collections and engage with communities to enhance teaching, learning, and research activities in the Institute for Japanese Studies, the Department of East Asian Languages and Literatures (DEALL) and the East Asian Studies Center. She will also cultivate partnerships that enhance the shared practices which connect the Libraries’ learning environment, expertise, resources, and services with our constituent needs. Ann Marie will engage with faculty, students and other scholars to provide proactive research support and innovative instruction in collaboration with the Libraries’ Teaching and Learning, Research Services and Digital Content Services departments. Ann Marie comes to University Libraries from Connecticut College, where she is Assistant Professor of History. She was a research assistant at the Graduate University for Advanced Studies in Kanagawa, Japan, recording and analyzing oral history interviews on higher education and science studies in Japan. She also served as an assistant manager of public relations for the Organizing Committee for the XVIII Olympic Winter Games in Nagano City, Japan. Ann Marie has a bachelor’s degree from the College of William and Mary; a master’s degree from Harvard University; a PhD from the University of California, Los Angeles, and an MLS from Southern Connecticut State University. Ann Marie will begin her work with OSUL on May 23. Join me in welcoming her to our organization. 1 Call for Librarian Participation Students in the Libraries’ online credit course, Arts & Sciences 2120 need to meet with a librarian to conduct a 20-30 minute interview as one of their assignments. These interviews are scheduled according to your availability during a four-week period in the course and the student comes to you. The assignment is intended to help students gain a more nuanced understanding of the library and its many functions. Librarians report they enjoy the opportunity to talk with students from a variety of academic disciplines and that they often learn new things through these interviews. We value librarian participation from throughout the organization so the entire class benefits from an expanded view of the library. What you do: Complete our web form to tell us how many interviews you are willing to do during Session 2 of Spring 2016 between March 9 and April 12, 2016. Respond to individual student(s) when they contact you via email to coordinate a meeting time. (i.e. you don’t need to start this process.) Spend 20-30 minutes responding to student interview questions (there are seven questions).This can be done in person (preferably) or by phone (if need be). What we do: Provide the student with your email address so he/she can begin the process of setting up the appointment. Provide you with a list of questions (at the link in the form) that we know the students will ask (they devise two of their own). These are questions that all librarians will be able to answer, regardless of the area of the library in which you work. In fact, the diversity of positions is very instructional for our students! Thank you profusely for your participation! Thanks so much, and please go here to indicate your willingness! We look forward to hearing from librarians who have not participated in this activity previously as well as those who have! If you have questions, please contact Brian Leaf or Beth Black. OSUL WordPress Users Group Tuesday February 16, 11 a.m. – noon 18th Avenue Library, 136 18L The OSUL WordPress Users Group meets monthly to share our experiences/challenges in editing WordPress sites/blogs, answer questions about how to use WordPress, and learn about new plugins.

  • Exploring Students' Knowledge of And
    Exploring Students’ Knowledge of and Attitudes Towards Hate Speech at the Ohio State University Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Bachelor of Science in Social Work in the Honor’s College of Social Work of The Ohio State University Thesis By: Anna Marie Riendeau Undergraduate Program in Social Work The Ohio State University 2013 Thesis Committee Sharvari Karandikar-Chheda, advisor Copyrighted By: Anna Riendeau 2013 2 Abstract In the past few years there has been an increase in hate speech incidents on the Ohio State University’s main campus itself as well as in the media surrounding the university from racist vandalism on the black cultural center to xenophobic comments tweeted online by students and blasted on a haters tumblr. What is more, because Ohio State is such a diverse university and has locations across the world including India and China all recruiting international students, it is imperative that hate speech be investigated further. Even though some research on hate speech has been conducted, little of it takes place on college campuses and most of it is quantitative in nature. The purpose of this research was to explore undergraduate students’ knowledge of and attitudes towards hate speech on the Ohio State University’s main campus as well as to determine what measures they think the university should take in response to hate speech on campus. The research design for this study was qualitative, in-person interviewing. Eight participants were purposively selected and interviewed using an interview guide. Results found that undergraduate students were knowledgeable about what hate speech is, but uninformed about the Constitution’s stance on hate speech.
