1. a2ru National Conference
November 1-3
University of Georgia
https://www.a2ru.org/events/2018-national-conference/
UGA will host the 2018 National Conference for the Alliance for the Arts in Research Universities (a2ru) on the theme of "Arts Environments: Design, Resilience, and Sustainability." The conference will be held in partnership with the UGA Arts Council and in conjunction with the November Spotlight on the Arts festival.
The 2018 theme, Arts Environments: Design, Resilience, and Sustainability, is an invitation to explore the relationship between creativity and diverse cultural locations, by framing discussions about design, resilience, and sustainability in context of interdisciplinary artistic and environmental practice. The theme offers an opportunity to think broadly about the ecology of the arts and their environments, in terms of performance, design, and engineering. A land and sea grant institution inextricable from the town of Athens and the broader ecologies of Georgia and the Southeast, the University of Georgia will provide a rich context for thinking creatively about Arts Environments globally.
Call for a2ru Conference Volunteers
Students who are interested in volunteering during the conference should contact Mark Callahan, [log in to unmask]

2. Reading Room: What is research? Practices in the arts, research, and curricula
"Because faculty and students have so many wide-ranging experiences, academic trajectories, and disciplinary backgrounds, they don't necessarily have the same set of concepts in mind when it comes to talking about research, what it means, or how it's done. For many, "research" is an abstract, culturally constructed concept. With many different definitions and experiences, it can be critical to build a shared foundation for understanding -- especially when issues of "what counts" as knowledge, tenure and promotion, and research process are at stake."

5. Integrative Conservation Conference
September 20-23
University of Georgia
http://cicr.uga.edu/icc/
The inaugural Integrative Conservation Conference at the University of Georgia will bring together academics, practitioners, researchers, resource managers, and students to address current and emerging conservation challenges. By bridging diverse perspectives across disciplines and sectors, we will explore challenges and benefits of synthesizing methods, frameworks, and conceptual approaches within social and ecological sciences.
Topics will include key issues associated with simultaneously preserving ecosystem integrity while addressing human needs and increasing adaptive capacity in a constantly changing world. By embracing the complexity inherent in human-environmental systems, the Integrative Conservation Conference will create space for the process of constructive engagement across disciplines and between research and practice, resulting in new insight for conservation.
