Mary Kircher Roddy

Mary Kircher Roddy has been a board certified genealogist since 2019, and is also a member of the National Genealogy Society and the The Association of Professional Genealogists. She received a Bachelor's of Science in Liberal Studies at the University of California, Riverside as well as Masters in Professional Accounting at the University of Texas at Austin.

Mary L. Gray

Mary L. Gray is an American anthropologist and author. She is a Fellow at Harvard University's Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society, as well as a Senior Researcher at Microsoft Research. Along with her research, Gray teaches at Indiana University, maintaining an appointment as an Associate Professor of the Media School, with affiliations in American Studies, Anthropology, and Gender Studies.
== Career ==
Gray's research looks at how technology is incorporated in our everyday lives. She also looks at how technology is accessed across the globe. Her first book, In Your Face: Stories from the Lives of Queer Youth, is includes stories and experiences of lesbian, gay and bisexual teens and the different hardships and successes they experienced growing up. The book also takes a look at the views of these teens stemming from their varying experiences. Her second book, Out in the Country: Youth, Media, and Queer Visibility in Rural America, explores the difficulties that the rural LGBTQ community faces living in areas where there aren't similar people to relate to. Gray looks at how these individuals take advantage of technology to broaden their knowledge and involvement in the LGBTQ community. Gray's most recent book, Ghost Work: How to Stop Silicon Valley from Building a New Global Underclass, takes a deep dive into the depths of the "ghosts" or, human labor force, that allow some of the internet's largest websites to run smoothly. The book takes a look at big companies, like Google and Amazon, that use these "ghost workers" to do things like censor their sites while trying to pass it off like it's AI.

Mary Lord (painter)

Mary Lord (born 1931, West Yorkshire, UK) is a landscape painter in oil and watercolours.
Lord was born in Birstall, West Yorkshire in 1931, studying at Dewsbury and Batley College of Art before attending Leeds College of Art (1950-1953) where she was taught by Richard Mcdonald and Tom Watts.(12) Lord continues her art practice in Birstall where she has a studio.
The changing seasons, times of day navigate her expressionist style of the Yorkshire landscapes she depicts.
'All these paintings were inspired by my deep feelings for the landscape of the North of England, especially West Yorkshire and the Yorkshire Dales, which I have known all my life'.
Lords artworks tend to focus on the months, weather or view points with such titles such as; 'March Valley', 'Summer Morning', 'Excitement of the first snow' and 'Misty Morning'. Oils and watercolours on paper or card in varying size, usually between 21x20cm (8x8) to 141x80cm (56x31) incorporate her deep brushstrokes in vivid colours or muted tones depending on the ambient scenery, stating 'that few of my landscapes are specific views but are personal interpretations of a particular stretch of countryside.
Exhibiting since her first show at Batley Art Gallery in 1957, Lord has shown at Bretton Hall, Leighton House London, Wakefield Art Gallery and Leeds Art Gallery in 2001 amongst many others.
Much of her work is publicly or privately owned and Lords' pieces can be found on auction sites selling for hundreds to thousands of pounds. Many universities and art galleries have her work within their collection including University of Manchester and The Hepworth, with Leeds Art Gallery housing six within their collection including; 'Morning in Leeds from the Hilton Hotel', Sunset', 'Island in the sun', 'Summer Dawn', The Valley' and 'Winter Sunrise'.

Her debut poetry chapbook, Wolf Skin (Dancing Girl Press, 2014), won the Elgin Chapbook Award. Writing in American Book Review, Saara Myrene Raapana called it “a new myth about mother- and daughterhood, contrasting the mortality of self and body with the immortality of love.”

The former called it “a fresh, exciting backstory to one of the most famous villains in fairy tale lore: the witch who put Rapunzel in her tower”, and the latter praised its setting in “twelfth-century Germany when belief in the paternalistic Christian God is in ascendance and the female practitioners of the ‘old ways’ have gone into hiding to escape persecution for witchcraft.”
Her second novel, Mistress, “the magic-infused story of Shakespeare’s Dark Lady from her own perspective” is due from Hachette in 2024.
==Education==
A native of south Louisiana, McMyne has a bachelor’s degree in English and a master’s degree in creative writing from Louisiana State University, and an MFA in fiction from New York University. She was an associate professor of English at Lake Superior State University from 2011 – 2021.
