Juneteenth, observed on June 19th, commemorates the day in 1865 when the last enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, learned of their freedom, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. This day is a time to honor the humanity, resilience, and contributions of African Americans, confront the painful history of slavery, and reflect on the ongoing journey toward equality. At Digitunity, we recognize that the fight for freedom and equality continues in many forms. One aspect of this ongoing struggle is digital equity. We honor Juneteenth by reminding ourselves that our core values are really what fuels our work. Courage: We embrace the challenge of bridging the digital divide, understanding that true equity requires bold actions and persistent efforts. Curiosity and Humility: We continuously seek to learn from the communities we serve, acknowledging that we do not have all the answers but are committed to finding innovative solutions. Honesty and Integrity: We ensure our actions match our words, prioritizing transparent communication and taking responsibility for our impact. Human-Centered: We believe in each person's innate value. This belief guides our efforts to make technology accessible to all, reflecting our respect and dedication to those we serve. Interdependence and Collaboration: We recognize that solving the digital divide requires collective efforts and partnerships. We work with various stakeholders to create meaningful change. Thoughtful Urgency: We understand the immediate need to address digital inequities while working towards sustainable, long-term solutions. As we commemorate Juneteenth, we honor the spirit of freedom and the ongoing journey toward equality by rededicating ourselves to the cause of digital equity, acknowledging that the digital divide is deeply rooted in the systemic inequalities that continue to disproportionately affect African American communities. We take the time to reflect on our commitment, acknowledge the important work still to be done, and recommit to our shared goal of equity. Together, we can make a difference, honoring the past while building a better future.

Join us for the #official launch of "A Badge of Injury: The Pink Triangle as Global Symbol of Memory" by Dr. SébastienTremblay, hosted by ICES - Interdisciplinary Centre for European Studies! 📅 On May 8th, 2024 at 18:00 CET, Sébastien Tremblay will provide insights into his monograph on #queer memory culture of #nationalsocialism in the #EuroAmerican world and the importance of visual concepts for our understanding of global history. 💬 Prof. Dr. Anna Katharina Mangold will offer a commentary on the book, setting the stage for an open discussion, and fostering intellectual exchange and dialogue.  📚 About the Book: A Badge of Injury is a contribution to both the fields of queer and global history. It analyses gay and lesbian transregional cultural communication networks from the 1970s to the 2000s, focusing on the importance of National Socialism, visual culture, and memory in the queer Atlantic. Provincializing Euro-American queer history, it illustrates how a history of concepts which encompasses the visual offers a greater depth of analysis of the transfer of ideas across regions than texts alone would offer. It also underlines how gay and lesbian history needs to be reframed under a queer lens and understood in a global perspective. Following the journey of the Pink Triangle and its many iterations, A Badge of Injury pinpoints the roles of cultural memory and power in the creation of gay and lesbian transregional narratives of pride or the construction of the historical queer subject. Beyond a success story, the book dives into some of the shortcomings of Euro-American queer history and the power of the negative, writing an emancipatory yet critical story of the era. We look forward to your participation! Join us in 📍 RIG 601 (Gebäude Riga) & Online: https://lnkd.in/eBZ5qG4W #Booklaunch #ICES #Pinktriangle European Studies EUF Europa-Universität Flensburg

Women in the realms of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) have historically encountered underrepresentation. Yet, their contributions remain indispensable. Confronting obstacles like gender bias and pervasive stereotypes, women persist in pioneering and excelling within these sectors. They achieve notable progress in research, innovation, and ascend to leadership positions, underscoring their integral role in the advancement of these disciplines, and *Dr. Khensani Xivuri* is no different.
