[Circulation] Celebration of CSI Librarian Alana's New Book: Oct. 8

[Suzanne Karanikis]

OCT. 8: BOOK CELEBRATION FOR ALANA KUMBIER’S EPHEMERAL MATERIAL

The publication of Hampshire College librarian Alana Kumbier's book
_Ephemeral Material: Queering the Archive_ will be celebrated on Oct. 8
at 7 p.m. in the gallery of the Harold F. Johnson Library Center. 

The event is free and open to the public. It is co-sponsored by the Five
College Women's Studies Research Center, the Center for Feminisms and
the Queer Community Alliance at Hampshire, and the Hampshire College
library. 

_Ephemeral Material_ articulates a queer approach to archival practice
by describing and theorizing the work of archivists, activists and
cultural producers who document queer lives. Kumbier supports this
conceptual work with ethnographies of grassroots archiving projects and
analyses of media representations of archival spaces and practices. She
brings work by scholars in history, media studies, disability studies,
and queer studies into conversation with the practical and theoretical
concerns of archivists and librarians. 

Kumbier is the Critical Social Inquiry and digital pedagogy librarian at
Hampshire. She holds degrees from Ohio State University, where she
earned a Ph.D. in comparative studies, Kent State University, and
Missouri State University. Her publications include the co-edited volume
_Critical Library Instruction: Theories and Methods_; zines;
contributions to anthologies including _Make Your Own History:
Documenting Feminist and Queer Activism in the 21st Century_, _The W
Effect: The Bush Administration's War on Women_, and _The Drag King
Anthology;_ and articles in _Bitch: Feminist Response to Pop Culture_
and _Punk Planet_.
