3. a2ru National Conference: Land and Equity
Begins October 15, 2020
www.a2ru.org/events/2020-a2ru-annual-meeting/
***As an a2ru partner institution, UGA will cover registration costs for a limited number of a2ru conference participants. If you are interested in attending please contact [log in to unmask] before registering.***
The Alliance for the Arts in Research Universities (a2ru) invites you to the 2020 a2ru national conference, Land and Equity: The Art and Politics of Place, to be held online and hosted by the University of Wisconsin - Madison, October 15-30, 2020. All sessions will be held via Zoom. The a2ru National Conference is an opportunity for practitioners and researchers from across the higher education spectrum to share innovations and perspectives in the arts.
The 2020 theme, Land & Equity, considers how our work as artistic, scientific, and humanist researchers and educators is defined by the land on which we find ourselves, and asks who has access to that land and its resources? In turn, we will examine how our art, research, and teaching impacts the places and spaces in which we live and work, and discuss ways that we can use that work to advance more equitable access.
This year's conference features special registration pricing for this virtual experience. Attendees will also have the option to register for an unlimited session pass or for individual sessions or keynote presentations.
a2ru advances the full range of arts and design-integrative research, curricula, programs, and creative practice from across the disciplines in order to acknowledge, articulate, and expand the vital role of higher education in our global society. a2ru's work, in partnership with more than 35 research institutions, envisions a world in which universities -- students, faculty, and leaders -- explore, embed, and integrate the arts in everyday practice and research. The a2ru National Conference is an opportunity for practitioners and researchers from across the higher education spectrum to share innovations and perspectives in the arts.

4. Reading Room: "Guidance for Rewarding and Recognizing Community Engaged Scholarship in the Arts"
Source:
http://www.a2ru.org/new-report-on-guidance-for-rewarding-recognizing-community-engaged-scholarship-in-the-arts/
"Our goal is to share this document widely to assist humanities, arts, and design faculty members and administrators -- deans, department chairs, faculty councils -- at many institutions around the country. It will give courage to those wishing to create a culture within an institution (especially at the department and college level) that values a wider range of scholarship than many current promotion and tenure guidelines allow. It offers tangible recommendations that a department, school, or college can implement for organizational change that might not be possible at the institutional level, which is even more complex."

7. Artists for Democracy: Christina Quarles
Tuesday, October 13 at 8 PM
https://www.artists4democracy.com/
The Dodd Galleries has partnered with Artists 4 Democracy to bring a series of lectures in which artists talk about their work and why they vote.
"Legibility teeters on the edge of lack and excess -- when we lack information about a thing, it is vague. However, as information accumulates, the risk for contradiction increases and legibility tips into ambiguity. As a Queer, cis-woman, born to a black father and a white mother, I engage with the world from a position that is multiply situated. My project is informed by my daily experience with ambiguity and seeks to dismantle assumptions of our fixed subjectivity through images that challenge the viewer to contend with the disorganized body in a state of excess."
Christina Quarles was born in Chicago, IL in 1985 and raised in Los Angeles, CA. She completed her BA at Hampshire College in 2007 with a double concentration in Philosophy and Studio Arts. Christina earned her MFA in Painting and Printmaking from Yale University in 2016. She currently lives in Los Angeles, CA with her wife and two cats.

October 15-17
https://genderbodyfieldwork.wixsite.com/genderbodyfieldwork/2020-symposium
This year's virtual symposium will feature a live podcast episode and a series of interactive workshops that engage with race and field experiences; the ethics of training international students in the American academy; fieldwork as a menas for discovering, creating, and expressing our core identities; and what it means to do fieldwork in an unaccustomed and unacknowledged body.
The plenary talk, "A Dialectical Future for Behavioral and Evolutionary Ecology," will be given by Dr. Ambika Kamath, and will be followed by an interactive workshop entitled "Fieldwork, Identity, and our Minds, Bodies, and Hearts."
Registration: http://rb.gy/8qctat
This free event emerged in response to a recognized need for combatting the silence surrounding the embodied experience of diverse researchers in the field. By hosting annual events we hope to provide resources and generate conversations around important fieldwork considerations. We are excited that our virtual format creates opportunities for individuals beyond UGA to attend and contribute to the symposium.
