1. Opportunity: a2ru Emerging Creatives Student Summit
February 7-10
James Madison University
Application Deadline: January 15
https://www.a2ru.org/events/2019-emerging-creatives-student-summit/
The Alliance for the Arts in Research Universities (a2ru) Emerging Creatives Student Summits bring together students who have an interest in the arts, crossing disciplinary boundaries, and developing collaborative projects. Each year, 80-100 undergraduate and graduate students attend the summit from a2ru partner universities across the country, along with 12-15 administrators, faculty, and staff. These summits have a strong project-based component with activities such as panel discussions with special guests, keynote speakers, site visits or field trips, performances and exhibitions, networking opportunities, and "bootcamp" or skill-building experiences built in throughout to collaboratively tackle and solve grand challenges.
This year's theme is Food and Place. Food is the common language of life. Across the world, people use it to establish and maintain relationships and to celebrate important events. Food also frequently takes on a symbolic dimension in culture, representing everything from love to social status. Differing approaches to its production and consumption profoundly affect our economic systems, public health, and climate. Our connection to food is multi-faceted, inspiring a wide range of creative works.
This summit will be hosted by James Madison University, which is located at the center of the Shenandoah Valley, a diverse community long-defined by food production, from family-run farms to large-scale commercial agriculture. This event brings together students from a variety of disciplines to work on projects that consider the relationship between food and place. The summit will feature panels and working group leadership from distinguished professors at James Madison University, as well as leading artists and scholars from around the country.
Join us this coming February 7-10 to advance your own creative work or research through interdisciplinary collaboration with your peers at leading institutions across the U.S. Undergraduate and graduate students in any and all fields are welcome, particularly those that care about and have a deep interest in the concept of this year's theme. We especially encourage student research teams from biology, ecology, and related fields, as well as artists/designers, to apply.

2. Lecture: Phoebe Gloeckner
Wednesday, January 16 at 12:20 PM
Lamar Dodd building, room S151
Phoebe Gloeckner is a graphic novelist. Her book, "The Diary of a Teenage Girl" (2002), was praised as "one of the most brutally honest, shocking, tender, beautiful portrayals of growing up female in America." Cartoonist R. Crumb called her story, "Minnie's Third Love" (published in A Child's Life and Other Stories) one of the "comic book masterpieces of all time." Her books have been published in multiple languages and her artwork has been exhibited in galleries and museums across the United States and Europe.
In 2008, Gloeckner was awarded the Guggenheim Fellowship to continue work on an on-going project centering on the life of the family of a murdered teenager living in Ciudad Juarez, several hundred feet from the US-Mexico border. Throughout and preceeding the escalation and gradual recession of the current period of intense violence in the city (3,200+ homicides in 2010), Gloeckner has been observing the evolution of the family, the case of their daughter's murder, and the neighborhood they live in. The end product of this process will be several novels.
Gloeckner has long experimented with the form of the novel-diary as a hybrid of prose and graphic novel, and her current projects will incorporate various media (audio, motion, and static) with text. The challenge is to create an electronic "multi-touch" book offering a "seamless" reading experience, a work that feels to be of one piece (the whole, greater than the sum of its parts) rather than an "enhanced" novel with multi-media annotations and side matter. She is working concurrently on printed versions of these books.
Gloeckner is an Associate Professor at the Stamps School of Art and Design at the University of Michigan.
