A little belatedly we wanted to write up the details of the \u2018Exploring different approaches to using Tricontinental<\/em> and Mujeres<\/em> in your research from a library perspective\u2019 workshop, which took place on Monday 22 April in the Global Studies Resource Centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was organised as part of the ongoing EIF (Education and Innovation Fund) sponsored \u2018Student Researchers in the BLDS Legacy Collection<\/a>\u2018 project and involved undergraduate and postgraduate students from across a variety of different University of Sussex departments, including Anthropology, Art History, History and International Relations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the first part of the session Sussex librarians, archivists and academics gave a series of lightning talks on different approaches to the journals, from reflections from an art history perspective on the aesthetics of Cuban magazines to an exploratory analysis of how AI digital humanities techniques could be applied to Tricontinental<\/em>. We\u2019ve embedded all the presentations and talks below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the second part, we applied these approaches to specific examples from the collections. The library team found print\/online articles, images and cartoons relevant to each attendee\u2019s research topic, which included Palestine and post-colonial French Africa, Angola, African internationalism, Angolan labourers, MPLA and PCP, the Carnation Revolution in Portugal, Third Worldist solidarities and global history, the link between the US civil rights movement and the Tricontinental movement, climate\/environment change, and migration specially in Latin America, the independence struggle in the DRC (Democratic Republic of Congo), energy generation and vaccine production across Africa, gender-based violence experiences of women with disabilities in Nigeria, female empowerment and UBI in India and many more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amazingly for almost all of these topics there was some form of coverage in Tricontinental<\/em> and\/or Mujeres<\/em>, and so attendees were able to spend some time looking through the materials and thinking about them in terms of the morning presentations. The session ended with a freeform discussion of everyone\u2019s different research topics and the ideas for further work that had been generated, and perhaps the best indication of the success of the event was the feedback that said (after 5 hours) that we needed more time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To see all of the presentations delivered on the day head over to the BLDS Legacy Collection Blog<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project will be continuing over the summer, with the next steps being to co-produce with these students a reusable and extensible \u2018toolkit\u2019 of pedagogical approaches, teaching ideas and discussion points based on Tricontinental<\/em> and Mujeres<\/em>.
