3. Opportunity: North Oconee River Project
http://www.northoconeeriverproject.com/arts-project.html
The North Oconee River Project is a community-wide call for submissions of original projects that share knowledge, appreciation, experience, or attitudes towards the North Oconee River.
The North Oconee River Project invites the Athens community to submit proposals of artworks that celebrate the inherent rights of nature for inclusion in a site-specific event along the river and associated publication. Artworks should be inspired by nature and humanity's role within it, with special consideration given to works that demonstrate a knowledge, appreciation, experience, or attitude toward the North Oconee River. We invite submissions from any medium and practice inclusive of music, performance, poetry, visual art, prose and others.
Entries can fall under any discipline, can be presented in any format, and can use any medium. This includes but is not limited to all forms of material and digital art, performances of any kind, musical compositions, dance choreography, theatrical scripts, and fiction or non-fiction literature or films.
In addition, entries may be interdisciplinary in nature and may include information or materials from multiple disciplines and mediums. Entries both from individuals and collaborative teams of two or more people are welcome.
What is the selection process?
This event will take place along the North Oconee River, from Dudley Park to North Avenue at the North Oconee River Park. Performances will take place along the riverbed, and more stationary artworks will be exhibited in the park.
All proposals must be submitted online by March 31. There is no fee for submission. Proposals for funding will be considered on a rolling basis, so the earlier the submission the better.
This project is made possible by the support of the Alliance for the Arts in Research Universities (a2ru), Ideas for Creative Exploration (ICE), Watershed UGA, and Willson Center for Humanities and Arts at the University of Georgia.

4. Lecture: Robert Schneider
Tuesday, February 27 at 3:30 PM
Boyd Center Room 304
Since the dawn of time, if not earlier, mathematicians have been fascinated by prime numbers. Euclid, Eratosthenes and other ancient thinkers rigorously studied the primes, yet these enigmatic integers defy our understanding even in the twenty-first century. Another ancient number theory pioneer, Pythagoras, also pioneered modern music theory. He found pleasing-sounding chords and melodies to be related to whole number ratios of waveforms on vibrating strings. These musical experiments of Pythagoras resonate throughout the mathematical sciences, from applications of Fourier series to the mysteries of quantum physics and string theory. One of the most famous open problems in all of mathematics, the Riemann Hypothesis, suggests beautiful waveform-like behavior in the distribution of prime numbers among the integers, which some authors poetically liken to "music of the primes.''

6. Lecture: Jonathan Hsy
Wednesday, February 28 at 4:30 PM
Richard B. Russell Building Special Collections Libraries Auditorium
"Disability and Divergent Readers: The History of the Book through Other(ed) Senses"
This talk, part of the 2018 Symposium on the Book, considers how disability-oriented cultural studies can transform how we think about material texts and the phenomenology of reading. Among the text technologies considered will be the development of braille/tactile books and "talking books" (precursors to audiobooks) for readers with visual impairments, and a surprisingly long history of deaf-oriented texts on sign language communication beginning in the later Middle Ages.
Jonathan Hsy is associate professor of English at George Washington University and founding co-director of the GW Digital Humanities Institute. He specializes in medieval literature with interests in translation, material culture, and disability studies. He is the author of Trading Tongues: Merchants, Multilingualism, and Medieval Literature (2013), and one of his current book projects explores autobiographical writing by medieval authors who self-identified as blind or deaf. His publications on disability and digital media have appeared in Accessus, Cambridge Companion to the Body in Literature, Early Modern Women Journal, New Medieval Literatures, Journal of Literary and Cultural Disability Studies, and postmedieval. He blogs at In The Middle, a group medieval studies blog.
Hsy visits UGA as this semester's Franklin College Diversity Visiting Scholar. His talk is sponsored by the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences, the department of English, and the Willson Center.

Saturday, March 3 from 12:30 - 4 PM
Lamar Dodd Art Library and Georgia Museum of Art
https://www.facebook.com/events/548703172171906/
Wikimedia's gender trouble is well documented, with less than 10 percent of its contributors identifying as female. While the reasons for the gender gap are up for debate, the practical effect of this disparity is not: content is skewed by the lack of female participation. Let's change that. At 12:30pm, there will be a gallery talk between Professor or Art History Nell Andrew and museum curator Sarah Kate Gillespie at the Georgia Museum of Art. Following the gallery talk at the museum, come to the Lamar Dodd School of Art Library (room N201) at 1:00pm for an afternoon of communal updating of Wikipedia entries on subjects related to art and feminism.

12. Call for Proposals: a2ru 2018 National Conference
"Arts Environments: Design, Resilience, and Sustainability"
November 1-3, 2018
Hosted by the University of Georgia
https://a2ru.org/events/2018-national-conference/
Deadline: Friday, April 6
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.
a2ru invites proposals for presentations from researchers, field leaders, and practitioners about arts-integrative research, practice, and curricula that explore the intersections, synergies, and interfaces between arts, environments, and their influence on design, resilience, and sustainability. Presentations vary in length and number of participants. We accept panel, paper, performance, and working group proposals. a2ru encourages proposals featuring panelists who are diverse in their backgrounds, pursuits, affiliations, locations, and ages. The ideal panel discussion will consist of participants who represent a broad range of perspectives and experiences, and represent more than one institution.
The Alliance for the Arts in Research Universities (a2ru) is a partnership of institutions committed to ensuring the greatest possible institutional support for the full spectrum of arts and arts-integrative research, curricula, programs, and creative practice for the benefit of all students and faculty at research universities and the communities they serve.
