Judy Yung: Librarian to Activist Historian

Emma Frothingham
Processing Archivist
Special Collections, Stanford University

After working in public libraries in Oakland and San Francisco, Judy Yung, MLS ’68, built a career advocating for the Chinese American community as a historian. Following projects to preserve the Chinese poems carved into the walls of the Angel Island Immigration Station by former detainees and document the experiences of Chinese American women around the country, Yung decided to pursue a more academic career. She went on to publish a number of books on Angel Island and the Chinese American experience, and taught courses in American Studies at UC Santa Cruz. Even though her work moved away from traditional librarianship, she continued to rely heavily on archives in her research, believed in the importance of serving diverse communities, and ensured that her work was accessible to a wide audience well into the future.

Emma Frothingham is a processing archivist in Special Collections at Stanford University. She holds a BA in history, music, and German from Beloit College and an MLIS with an emphasis on archives from Simmons University.

Focusing on the Future with the Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity

Ann Cleaveland
Executive Director
Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity, UC Berkeley

The UC Berkeley School of Information launched the Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity in 2015 with a singular goal: to amplify the upside of the digital revolution. Intentionally housed at the I School, with its history of interdisciplinary scholarship, CLTC's mission is to help people and organizations anticipate and address tomorrow's cybersecurity challenges. In honor of National Cybersecurity Awareness Month, this discussion will acquaint the audience with the vital safety and privacy questions being researched at the Center; our efforts - with the Masters of Cybersecurity and Information program - to grow the talent pipeline and expand who participates in cybersecurity; and the cybersecurity opportunities and risks that are just over the horizon as we launch “Cybersecurity Futures 2030” this fall.

Ann Cleaveland is the executive director of the Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity, where she is responsible for growing key partnerships, managing day-to-day operations, and stewarding a strategy to fulfill the mission of CLTC’s multidisciplinary research center.
