Scholar Series - Wadsworth

Januário's journey through Ecuador, Argentina, Brazil and Lisbon reveals the social, secular, and religious fissures of colonial society which enabled unscrupulous men like him to dupe both the ignorant and the learned in colonial Brazil. It also allows us to question the strategies used by imposters and analyze why they could be initially successful only to later fall from grace. ...

Welcome, Abigail Mulligan!

The MacPhaidin Library is excited to welcome Abigail Mulligan as our newest Reference and Instruction librarian. Abigail is coming to us as a recent graduate from Simmons College, and will bring energy to our reference and research support efforts. Get to know Abigail through this interview: What attracted you to the Reference Librarian position at Stonehill? Since I was in middle school, I knew I wanted to be a reference librarian at a college. To be a reference librarian is to be a lifelong learner, truly - you are constantly learning new things when working with faculty in their subject area. I was especially drawn to Stonehill's sense of community and set of values. I couldn't be more excited to be a part of this wonderful campus! How do you plan to engage with students to make them feel comfortable working with a librarian? I'm looking forward to bringing both my energy and enthusiasm to the library, hopefully making students feel as enthusiastic about it as I am! My fundamental belief is that there are no stupid questions. As a reference librarian, I'm here to help students navigate the library's resources, allowing them to succeed in their academic careers. What do you like to do when you're not at work? In my down time I love to work out, hang out with friends, read a book, or scrapbook. I'm also planning on learning how to crochet this fall - any advice is welcomed! What is your favorite book/author, and why? My favorite book is Bunny, written by my favorite author, Mona Awad. Mona Awad writes in such a captivating way, taking you to a different world you don't want to leave. If you like dark humor with a bit of fantasy, she is the author for you. Check out her new book, We Love You, Bunny, coming out in September. What is it about your new position at Stonehill that you're most excited about? I'm most excited about interacting with students during library instruction sessions. I love creating lesson plans and activities that help students develop new skills they will carry with them into the future....
