Made Bayak was born in 1980 in Tampaksiring, Gianyar Regency, Bali, Indonesia. He completed his studies at the Indonesian Institute of the Arts Denpasar in Denpasar, Bali, Indonesia in 2006. His work addresses the human devastation of the Indonesian genocide of 1965-66 and the environmental devastation of the Balinese island's once-pristine environment caused by tourism-driven development and the lack of local awareness of best ecological practices. His methods include activism and social organization, teaching workshops, painting, drawing, sculptural objects, installations, performance art, and music performed with his heavy metal rock band Geeksmile.

What we eat and how we eat have major implications for our future sustainability and health. Foodshed UGA is a new initiative to engage the campus and community in sustainability and innovation through the food we eat.
We want you to join us by engaging your class with this topic and making a tangible difference to improve our food system through interdisciplinary collaboration, partnerships with the local community, and innovative solutions. Whether you teach composition, history, agriculture, art, public health, or any other discipline, there is a place for you and your students.
Faculty from all disciplines are invited to a 1.5 hour workshop focused on engaging courses with Foodshed UGA as a tool for experiential and service learning. The workshop will introduce food system curricular materials and resources, campus partners and community needs, and provide an opportunity for cross disciplinary conversation and brainstorming.
Workshops will be offered twice. Please sign up here to attend either date.
Foodshed UGA is an initiative of the Sustainable Food Systems Initiative, Office of Service-Learning, and the Office of Sustainability in collaboration with valued campus and community partners.

6. a2ru 2019 National Conference
November 7 - 9
University of Kansas
The 2019 theme, knowledges: artistic practice as method is an invitation to explore modes of knowing, especially as arrived through the discovery of artistic practice. This theme is anchored in, but not limited to, the following questions:
- How do artistic practices map onto other methods of knowledge production?
- If contemporary artists are trained from the outset to be critical of their medium(s), how might this critical reflection inform more discrete disciplines, which often treat academic form as neutral vessels for the delivery of content?
- What can researchers across the arts, sciences, and humanities learn from one another's practices and approaches?
The University of Kansas, host of this year's a2ru conference, aims to infuse the arts into its research culture by advancing interdisciplinary projects across the sciences and humanities. This is accomplished through existing structures, such as the Integrated Arts Research Initiative (IARI) funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation at the Spencer Museum of Art, The Commons, and the Research Excellence Initiative through the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. The exhibition and dialogue among artists and scholars developed through the IARI colloquium (November 6, 2019) will launch the 2019 a2ru national conference.
