February 6-9, 2020
UGA Special Collections Library
http://cicr.uga.edu/icc-2020/
Call for Participation
Session deadline: September 16
Abstract deadline: October 16
The Integrative Conservation Conference (ICC) invites you to connect across boundaries to create more just and innovative solutions to today's conservation challenges. Connections across academic disciplines, sciences and the arts, and academia and the general public highlight the collaborative nature of conservation initiatives. ICC fosters inclusive spaces that promote cross-cutting conservation work by exploring how different values and knowledge systems impact conservation theory and practice.
The ICC 2020 Program Committee welcomes abstract submissions for presentations that span a variety of formats and stages of research. In addition to more conventional oral and poster presentations, participants are encouraged to present their work through different modes of communication and diverse media. Presentations that reflect any stage of the research process are welcome -- from initial ideas and data collection to completed projects.

Applications due November 11, 2019 at 9 AM
https://sustainability.uga.edu/student-programs/sustainability-grants/
Ideas for Creative Exploration and the Office of Sustainability invite you to apply for a UGA Campus Sustainability Grant. Special consideration will be given to projects incorporating sustainability + arts.
Drawn from the Student Green Fee, grants up to $5,000 are available to current UGA students who wish to initiate projects to advance sustainability through education, research, service, and campus operations. Successful projects will address priorities outlined in UGA's 2020 Strategic Plan to actively conserve resources, educate the campus community, influence positive action for people and the environment, and provide useful research data to inform future campus sustainability efforts. Interdisciplinary projects designed to inspire, beautify and uplift -- as well as to inform and conserve -- are encouraged. Special consideration will be given to projects incorporating sustainability + arts. Grants are awarded based on merit, positive impact, implementation feasibility, and available funding.
The Office of Sustainability coordinates, communicates, and advances sustainability initiatives at UGA in the areas of teaching, research, service and outreach, student engagement, and campus operations. For more information visit sustainability.uga.edu.

8. MAP Fund Grants
Deadline: November 25
https://mapfundblog.org
MAP invests in artistic production as the critical foundation of imagining -- and ultimately co-creating -- a more equitable and vibrant society. MAP awards $1 million annually, to up to 45 projects in the range of $10,000-$45,000 per grant.
The grant supports original live performance projects that embody a spirit of deep inquiry, particularly works created by artists who question, disrupt, complicate, and challenge inherited notions of social and cultural hierarchy across the United States.
Funded projects address these concerns through the processes of creating and distributing live performance to the public, and/or through the content and themes of the work itself. MAP is committed to intersectional anti-racism, and does not support cultural appropriation or oppressive project language, structures, or content.
The program pursues its mission by annually welcoming applications for new live performance projects. Each year, MAP hires a different cohort of peer reviewers who recommend the projects they believe most align with MAP's goals through a rigorous, facilitated review process.

10. a2ru 2019 National Conference
November 7 - 9
University of Kansas
https://www.a2ru.org/events/2019-national-conference/
*Registration open now with UGA partner rates*
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.
