Stacks Xchange: Field Notes is a graduate student-centered series on tools, methods, practices, and creative data collaborations with researchers across all disciplines. Speakers are invited to spotlight a core technical idea, method or framework, from statistical and computational models to industrial or home-brew LLMs and cutting-edge VR technologies, while attendees can expect not only technical curiosity but also practical how-to field notes from peers. In this talk, Anju Mitchell addresses the call for ethical library metadata creation by offering Patricia Hill Collins' "Black Feminist Epistemology" to critical cataloging practice and theory. Mitchell is currently a Database Maintenance Specialist at the UCLA Library Resource Acquisitions and Metadata Services, as well as a PhD student in the Department of Information Studies. Her research interests are in ethical library metadata representations of marginalized identities and communities.

Join us for the upcoming book launch of "Seeing like a Supply Chain" by Miriam Posner, PhD. A history of the technology of supply-chain management from punch cards to neural nets, and how the ambiguity built into that technology helps companies and exploits workers. Seeing Like a Supply Chain is a compelling investigation into the hidden networks that drive our global economy. Miriam Posner presents a blow-by-blow account of the technology of supply-chain management from punch cards to neural nets, revealing how the system’s built-in ambiguity shields companies from accountability while exploiting workers. Miriam Posner is an associate professor at UCLA in the Departments of Information Studies and Digital Humanities. A 2023-24 fellow of the National Humanities Center, Miriam has published widely on technology, data, and the humanities, including pieces in Postmodern Culture, Theory & Event, American Quarterly, The Moving Image, Logic, The Guardian, and The New Yorker.
