Retracing the Witch Trials - Julia Park Tracey Author Talk and Book Sale
On October 22 the Library & Learning Commons will be hosting Julia Park Tracey for an author talk and book sale in the Reading Room (N-310). Author Julia Park Tracey will present a slide show and talk about the Puritan Era and her book, Silence: A Novel. This starred reviewed novel from Kirkus Reviews features a Puritan woman named Silence who is sentenced to a year of silence by the church elders after emoting in church following three grievous losses. In that year of not speaking, Silence emerges as a woman with a voice—however, not before she is accused of witchcraft. This is the story of Julia’s seventh great grandmother and is deeply researched through Ancestry.com. She will discuss the witch trials, the handicrafts of the era, the constraints on women, and the way women such as Silence Marsh found their voices despite those constraints.
BHCC Stands with Immigrants: Celebrating Our Immigrant Students
Join the Office of Immigrant Student Support Services (ISSS) for a special lunch to celebrate our immigrant students at BHCC and learn from their rich experiences.
'I Stand with Immigrants Day of Action' is an annual initiative started by FWD.US to celebrate and amplify the stories of our immigrant students, as well as build awareness and support for this population throughout our college. As we come together to celebrate during this critical election year, immigrant students, faculty, staff and their loved ones need to stand together now more than ever before.
We will have lunch, listen to a student performance, hear an amazing student panel and learn about the rich experiences of our immigrant community, featuring the work of our Early College Chelsea High School scholars.
