This conversation will introduce some of UGA's humanities and arts infrastructure, share recent innovations, introduce plans for the future, and invite a discussion of interdisciplinary opportunities for students, faculty and diverse publics.

4. a2ru Ground Works CFP: Creating Knowledge in Common
Deadline: January 31, 2023
https://a2ru.org/ground-works-releases-cfp-for-creating-knowledge-in-common/
Ground Works, a2ru's peer-reviewed platform for arts-integrated research, announces a call for submissions to a special themed issue entitled Creating Knowledge in Common. With this issue, we seek to lift up university-community partnered research and inquiry that center the arts. We invite submissions that deepen our understanding of how the structures, processes, and outcomes of such partnerships result in reciprocal relationships that advance new knowledge. In addition, submissions should make clear how the shared work benefits both the academic and the community partners. Ground Works encourages a wide array of submission types that incorporate multimedia to tell the story of creating knowledge in common.
