- **Event Description**: Join us for an evening with authors Simone C. Drake (Becoming Educated) and Molly Farrel (New World Calculation) in conversation!About this Event6:30pm Thursday, October 1 at Prologue BookshopBecoming Educated is Simone C. Drake’s engaging and bold memoir about race, class, gender, and the meaning of education in the urban Midwest. Drake uses her own story as a Black girl attending recently desegregated Columbus public schools in the 1980s and 1990s to explore the United States’ most entrenched social problems and how local systems have tried to combat them. In New World Calculation, Molly Farrell tells the story of colonial America as a testing ground for new ways of conceptualizing numbers, uncovering overlooked forms of numerical thinking to argue that colonialism and the rise of racial capitalism incited a struggle about what exactly a number is and what it can do.Both Columbus natives, these authors are coming together for an engaging conversation about education from personal experiences to a national perspective.Simone C. Drake is the Hazel C. Youngberg Trustees Distinguished Professor of English at The Ohio State University and holds a courtesy appointment in the Moritz College of Law. A proud graduate of Columbus City Schools, she lives in central Ohio with her family. She recently returned to making art and cannot believe she had tucked it away for so many decades.Molly Farrell, New World Calculation: The Making of Numbers in Colonial America released from Stanford University Press on August 25, 2026
