In a dynamic, lightning-round lecture and discussion historians and philosophers introduce one “little tool of knowledge“: the often overlooked but extremely powerful ways we organize and access knowledge. These little tools span digital technology and paper. The roundtable discussion will shed light on the agency held by seemingly innocuous objects and the questions that can be asked of them. There will be lots of time for questions and discussion.
