Lecture
4 PM
Julie Park is a material and visual culture scholar of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century England who works at the intersections of literary studies, information studies and textual materiality. Her research examines the unexpected ways in which human subjects are inseparable from the material things, environments and devices of everyday life in historical contexts. She writes about such artifacts, tools and spaces as automata, quill pens, notebooks, grottoes and follies, exploring their abilities to shape, channel and model the innermost experiences of the embodied self in everyday life.
She received her BA from Bryn Mawr College, MA and PhD from Princeton University, and MLIS from the University of California, Los Angeles. She is the author of The Self and It: Novel Objects in Eighteenth-Century England (Stanford University Press, 2010), and editor of several journal special issues: The Drift of Fiction (2011) for The Eighteenth Century: Theory and Interpretation, as well as Interiors (2008) and War (2006) for Eighteenth-Century Fiction. Her current project is My Dark Room, which examines the spaces of inner life in eighteenth-century England, from writing closets, grottoes and ornamented cottages to women's detachable pockets.

7. Opportunity: echoverse
Deadline: March 20
http://echoverseanthology.com
echoverse, a digital anthology of writing about environmental change, is seeking submissions for its inaugural 2020 issue. Volume 1 of echoverse, titled "day to day," will consider what it means to think of the environment not only as a sweeping term for the natural system we live in, but also as a place that is entirely tangled up with our individual memories, daily routines, imagination, and wonder. This project aims to step away from the broad and informational and instead look at the particulars of lived experience. echoverse will collect writing that makes change that can often seem far off and abstract more immediate, concrete, encountered, and felt. Submit short creative work in any genre: poems, prose poems, microfictions, microessays, hybrid works, etc.

9. Call for Proposals
a2ru National Conference "Land and Equity: The Art and Politics of Place"
October 15-17, 2020
University of Wisconsin - Madison
Deadline: April 15
https://www.a2ru.org/events/2020-a2ru-annual-meeting/
The Alliance for the Arts in Research Universities (a2ru) invites proposals for the 2020 a2ru national conference, "Land and Equity: The Art and Politics of Place," to be held at the University of Wisconsin - Madison, October 15-17, 2020.
The a2ru National Conference is an opportunity for practitioners and researchers from across the higher education spectrum to share innovations and perspectives in the arts.
The 2020 theme Land & Equity considers how our work as artistic, scientific, and humanist researchers and educators is defined by the land on which we find ourselves, and asks who has access to that land and its resources? In turn, we will examine how our art, research, and teaching impacts the places and spaces in which we live and work, and discuss ways that we can use that work to advance more equitable access.
TRACK ONE: Land and equity: the art and politics of place
Topics in Track One connect more directly with the 2020 conference theme through the lens of the arts, design, and interdisciplinary teaching, and/or research and practice. Presentations and workshops should contribute to the conference by addressing one of the following themes or related issues: sustainability, environmental art, indigenous art, site-specific art, land activism, art-based community development, maps/boundaries/ways of defining place, public art, and artistic expressions of refugee/migrant experiences.
TRACK TWO: The arts and design in research universities
Topics in track two are broadly concerned with creating and supporting work, developing tools, and presenting ideas about the arts and design in the context of academic research and teaching cultures. Presentations and workshops should contribute to the conference by addressing one of the following themes: modes of collaboration; interdisciplinary stewardship; equity; campus amplification and departmental engagement; promotion and tenure; and insights, cultures of evidence, impacts case-making, and dealing with data.
