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.

5. 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.
