We’re excited to announce a new event series coming up this spring: our AI webinars! These monthly online discussions will look at AI as a cultural medium rather than merely a technical tool, exploring how it shapes communication, creativity, governance, and everyday life across diverse contexts.

We know folks are in the midst of final exams and assignments, but if you need something to look forward to, look no further! ⁠ ⁠ Our roster for spring events is nearly full. More details and registration info coming soon to our website: camd.northeastern.edu/events/?even...

Thank you to everyone who joined us for last week's book talk with @calebgayle.bsky.social! We were lucky to have an evening to explore the extraordinary yet overlooked story of Edward McCabe, his pursuit of a Black state, and the spiritual imagination that fueled it.

Thank you to all who came to last week's research jam! We loved hearing from Molly Brown of the NU Archives and André Stark of The Bay State Banner, and learned how news archives can preserve community history while still serving as helpful resources for today's journalists. Photos: Melania Diaz.
