On-campus or online? See what’s going on at the Hartness Library!
Let’s celebrate Women’s History Month together! The Hartness Library Book Club will honor black women in STEM by reading Hidden Figures: The American Dream and the Untold Story of the Black Women Mathematicians Who Helped Win the Space Race by Margot Lee Shetterly. (Now a major motion picture!) To get a copy, fill out this request form, contact Hartness directly, or check your local public library. Join our discussion via Zoom.
About the book: “Set amid the civil rights movement, the never-before-told true story of NASA’s African-American female mathematicians who played a crucial role in America’s space program. Before Neil Armstrong walked on the moon, a group of professionals worked as ‘Human Computers,’ calculating the flight paths that would enable these historic achievements. Among these were a coterie of bright, talented African-American women. Segregated from their white counterparts, these ‘colored computers’ used pencil and paper to write the equations that would launch rockets and astronauts, into space. Moving from World War II through NASA’s golden age, touching on the civil rights era, the Space Race, the Cold War and the women’s rights movement, Hidden Figures interweaves a rich history of mankind’s greatest adventure with the intimate stories of five courageous women whose work forever changed the world.” – 3.92 out of 5 stars on Goodreads

Art by Katie Runde
Katie Runde’s art straddles several disciplines and draws from a wide range of expertise. She was raised among medievalists, has been drawing as long as she was able to hold a crayon, playing saxophone since age eight, and theologizing since that day somewhere around age eleven when Mass stopped making neat story sense. She holds a master’s degree in religious studies from the University of Chicago Divinity School, a BA in folklore/ethnology and music from University College Cork in Ireland, and undertook two years’ apprenticeship with the great realist painter Evan Wilson.
Where so much of the adventure of contemporary art comes down to exploring new media, Runde takes her wild paradigm of spirituality, scholarship, and even some improvisation and tonal colors into the traditional medium and techniques of classical oil painting to wrap it all together into something completely new, integrative, and deeply human.
Recent awards include the Collection Magazine Award at the 2016 ARC Salon, Best in Show at the Wethersfield Academy of the Arts Juried Fine Art Show and Competition, first place at the NH Center for the Arts Regional Juried Show and second place at the Connecticut Women Artists 84th National Open Juried exhibition in Norwich, Connecticut. Her work has appeared in galleries from the Salmagundi Club and the MEAM Museum in Barcelona (ARC Live Exhibition 2017) to the annual gala exhibition at the Huntsville Museum of Art in Huntsville, AL, the Madelon Powers Gallery of East Stroudsburg University in East Stroudsburg, PA, and solo shows at the Southern Vermont Arts Center in Manchester, VT and the Artistree Gallery on the Green in Woodstock, VT.
Runde’s artwork will be on display at the Hartness Library in Randolph Center through the Spring semester.
