For this week's episode, Sarah talks with artist Rachelle Reichert. Rachelle shares more information about her process, her undying interest in rocks, and what she does to stay positive despite the bleak news around the climate crisis and industrialization. About Rachelle Reichert Rachelle Reichert is a visual artist and art educator based in the San Francisco Bay Area, California (Chochenyo Ohlone territory). Rachelle works in a variety of media to explore landscapes permanently altered by climate change and industrialization. She is interested in earth observation satellite imagery- how nature is composed in images and then circulated to a public, algorithmic visions, and natural systems to view how nature is manipulated by human behavior. Her research focuses on sites of specific extracted materials: salt, clay, lithium. Research findings are interpreted through drawings, photographs, and mixed-media artworks that focus on materials found at the site. Artworks embody multi-scale complexities of observing the natural world, both human and machine, and the emotional connections between the two. Artwork is included in many public and private collections, including the Center for Art+Environment Archives at the Nevada Museum of Art, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art Archive, the School of the Art Institute of Chicago Library, Facebook, and Adobe, Inc. Reichert has exhibited her work nationally and internationally at the Contemporary Jewish Museum, Center for Contemporary Art at Pacific Northwest College of Art, Anglim/Trimble Gallery, and September Gallery. Her work has been reviewed and published in the San Francisco Chronicle, Make: Magazine, Condé Nast Traveler and New American Paintings and she has completed permanent commissions for the Ritz Mandarin Oriental in Madrid, Spain and Facebook Headquarters in Menlo Park, CA. She has presented her artwork at the California Climate Change Symposium, the San Francisco State of the Estuary Conference, and the American Geophysical Union Meeting and regularly lectures on her artwork and research.   --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thesidewoopodcast/message

In 2009, the University of Chicago Library embarked on a pilot program to integrate library instruction into the Department of History's thesis seminar. As part of the pilot, the Library developed a brief assessment consisting of a pre- and post test of student library research skills. Over the next several months, we tested different versions of the assessment to develop a quick and easy form that could be used in most of our library instruction programs (especially for BA and MA seminars). By encouraging our librarians to use a common assessment tool, we hope to gain a broader picture of library research skills at the University.
