1. Lecture: Johnathan Sachs
Tuesday, December 4 at 4:30 PM
Park Hall 265
"Seven Propositions on Slow Time"
Jonathan Sachs is Professor of English at Concordia University in Montreal and Principal Investigator of the Montreal-based Interacting with Print Research Group. His work focuses on British literature from 1750-1850, where his research explores the role of literature in constructing historical and temporal experience, including the uses of antiquity, the anticipation of the future, and practices of reading. He is the author of The Poetics of Decline in British Romanticism (Cambridge, 2018), Romantic Antiquity: Rome in the British Imagination, 1789-1832 (Oxford, 2010), and co-author, with the Multigraph Collective, of Interacting with Print: Elements of Reading in an Era of Print Saturation (Chicago, 2018).
Organized by The Georgia Colloquium in Eighteenth- and Nineteenth-Century British Literature, a reception in the Robert West Library, Park Hall 261 will follow Dr. Sachs's talk. The talk and reception are free and open to the public, and are sponsored by the English Department's Rodney Baine Lecture Fund, the Willson Center for Humanities and Arts, and UGA's History Department.

Please join us at the reception for coffee, beer, mimosas, breakfast food, and a opportunity to meet the artists, designers, and educators behind the work and exhibition.

5. Opportunity: a2ru Emerging Creatives Student Summit
February 7-10
James Madison University
Application Deadline: January 15
https://www.a2ru.org/events/2019-emerging-creatives-student-summit/
The Alliance for the Arts in Research Universities (a2ru) Emerging Creatives Student Summits bring together students who have an interest in the arts, crossing disciplinary boundaries, and developing collaborative projects. Each year, 80-100 undergraduate and graduate students attend the summit from a2ru partner universities across the country, along with 12-15 administrators, faculty, and staff. These summits have a strong project-based component with activities such as panel discussions with special guests, keynote speakers, site visits or field trips, performances and exhibitions, networking opportunities, and "bootcamp" or skill-building experiences built in throughout to collaboratively tackle and solve grand challenges.
This year's theme is Food and Place. Food is the common language of life. Across the world, people use it to establish and maintain relationships and to celebrate important events. Food also frequently takes on a symbolic dimension in culture, representing everything from love to social status. Differing approaches to its production and consumption profoundly affect our economic systems, public health, and climate. Our connection to food is multi-faceted, inspiring a wide range of creative works.
This summit will be hosted by James Madison University, which is located at the center of the Shenandoah Valley, a diverse community long-defined by food production, from family-run farms to large-scale commercial agriculture. This event brings together students from a variety of disciplines to work on projects that consider the relationship between food and place. The summit will feature panels and working group leadership from distinguished professors at James Madison University, as well as leading artists and scholars from around the country.
Join us this coming February 7-10 to advance your own creative work or research through interdisciplinary collaboration with your peers at leading institutions across the U.S. Undergraduate and graduate students in any and all fields are welcome, particularly those that care about and have a deep interest in the concept of this year's theme. We especially encourage student research teams from biology, ecology, and related fields, as well as artists/designers, to apply.

6. Opportunity: Graduate Interdisciplinary Research Conference
Saturday, February 23
Miller Learning Center
Application Deadline: December 31
https://uga.campuslabs.com/engage/submitter/form/start/233897
Your Graduate Student Association (GSA) is pleased to announce the theme for this year's Graduate Interdisciplinary Research Conference: Resistance and Renewal.
We welcome submissions from all members of the UGA graduate and professional student community as we come together to discuss ways that we are resisting, revising, re-envisioning, reinvigorating, and renewing the paradigms of our disciplines and the practices of higher education.
Have an experimental idea? We'd love to hear it! We are encouraging UGA graduate students to go beyond the usual paradigms at this year's conference. While all traditional submissions will be welcome (e.g., papers, posters, and roundtables), we want this to be an event in which graduate students inspire each other to take risks. Experimenting with dance? Have an improv idea? Dream of running a field experience or hands-on workshop? Want to test-run performances or exhibitions?
