Summer Shorts: a literary-ish series

By

The Judith J. Carrier Library is hosting a literary-ish series called “Summer Shorts,” to give everyone a brief escape from the heat and the haze.  Every Wednesday (during the summer semesters) at 1 p.m., for approximately 30 minutes, campus faculty and staff will read or perform either a short story, short non-fiction, poetry, dramatic scenes, musical selections, or more.  Come by the Library Classroom (ESED 1212) for a break and listen as they present their delightfully refreshing selections – and then be sure to check out these stories and more at the Library.

For more information, contact Judy Reardon at 817-515-3085 or judy.reardon@tccd.edu

Confronting Violence, Improving Women’s Lives: exhibit

By

The Judith J. Carrier Library will host a very special traveling exhibition from April 11 to May 18 during library hours. Confronting Violence, Improving Women’s Lives explores the early grassroots efforts by nurses to prevent and draw attention to domestic violence. With passion and persistence, they worked to reform a medical profession that largely dismissed or completely failed to acknowledge violence against women as a serious health issue. Nurses were in the vanguard as they pushed the larger medical community to identify victims, adequately respond to their needs, and work towards the prevention of domestic violence. This six-banner exhibition explores images, manuscripts and records that tell their stories of campaigning for change. The National Library of Medicine produced this exhibition. Attendance is free and open to everyone. 

For further information, contact Tracey Minzenmayer ( tracey.minzemayer@tccd.edu or 817-515-3388)

Improving Women’s Lives: Two Events this Week

By

  

As part of our Confronting Violence: Improving Women’s Lives series, the Judith J. Carrier Library will welcome TCC Counselor Carisa Givens on April 17 at 2 PM for Building Healthy Relationships. Ms. Givens will discuss the characteristics of a healthy relationship in this workshop. Attendees will learn to think critically about how the media portrays relationships, to define what it means to be in a healthy relationship, to understand ways to communicate with a partner, and to identify means of violence prevention. All are welcome to attend!

Please join us on April 18 at 2 PM in the Library Classroom to find out more about TESSA (Technology Enhanced Screening and Supportive Assistance), a new project funded by the Office on Women’s Health and managed by UNT Health Science Center. The goal of TESSA is to increase screening for domestic violence and sexual assault in primary care clinics and improve connections to community support organizations. Jessica Grace, the program manager for TESSA, will discuss both the project and IPV in Texas and why it is a community health as well as a social issue. This program is sponsored by the Judith J. Carrier Library, The Democracy Commitment, and Health Occupations Only.
