2. Black Design in America: African Americans and the African Diaspora in Graphic Design
https://bipocdesignhistory.com
Black Design in America is the first in a series of BIPOC Centered design history courses facilitated by Polymode (Silas Munro). Through pre-recorded lectures, readings, and live discussions, the class will shed light on moments of oppression and visibility. The series revisits and rewrites the course of design history in a way that centers previously marginalized designers, cultural figures -- and particularly BIPOC and QTPOC people.
The classes include the ancient origins of African alphabets, innovative mathematics in African architecture, systemic racism of the transatlantic slave trade, W.E.B. Du Bois's innovative information diagrams in 1900, the aesthetics of Eugenics and its science of racial profiling, the Harlem Renaissance and other queer Blackness, The Tuskegee Syphilis Study that exploited vulnerable veterans supervised by the U.S. Public Health Service, the grassroots network of Victor Hugo Green's Motorists books, Blues Modernism, the rise of hip hop's graphic language, urgent protest graphics of Black Lives Matter movement, and the 21st century data activism of the collective Data for Black Lives.
The classes will be recorded and available for watching asynchronously beyond the mentioned dates.

3. A2ru Creative Placemaking Resource Hub
https://creativeplacemakingresearch.org
ArtPlace has partnered with the Alliance for the Arts in Research Universities (a2ru) and Grantmakers in the Arts (GIA) to commission a series of responses from individuals across the field of creative placemaking to be presented alongside ArtPlace's analysis of what becomes possible when arts and culture is integrated into community development practice.
The responses will be published on a2ru's redesigned website in the second half of 2021, as part of a2ru's new Creative Placemaking Resource Hub, which will incorporate archival resources from ArtPlace America's ten years of work in the field with ongoing developments in creative placemaking and higher education. These responses will ensure that the ArtPlace findings exist less as a static artifact and more as a foundation for future arts and community development research, practice, and policy.

7. Ground Works Call for Proposals
Deadline: Friday, February 26
https://groundworks.io/proposals/2/home_show
"Vibrant Ecologies of Research"
In this special issue of Ground Works, we welcome submissions that focus on deepening our understanding of the institutional, social, and epistemological systems that effectively weave arts-based inquiry into the scholarly fabric of research. Vibrant ecologies of research call attention to the complex and nuanced articulations of how institutions, research groups, and organizations come together and what elements allow them to thrive. Thinking ecologically provides a systematic view while also attending to the material agencies, institutional architectures, and human interrelationships that nurture, foment, and/or cultivate deep disciplinary integration.
