2. Reading and Book Launch: Aruni Kashyap and Andrew Zawacki
Wednesday, February 12 at 7 PM
Cine, 234 W. Hancock Ave.
Kashyap's "His Father's Disease" was published in 2019 by Context (an imprint of Westland Books, 2019). According to the Huffington Post: "In His Father's Disease Kashyap precisely embarks on a journey to undo the single-story surrounding his homeland. He makes no effort to play safe by catering to the mainland's expectations from a writer coming from India's Northeast. With the first story itself Kashyap plunges headlong into murky waters without losing sight of his goal ƒƒ to narrate the tales of displaced individuals desperately negotiating home."
Zawacki's "Unsun" was published in 2019 by Coach House Books. "In his fifth poetry volume, American poet Andrew Zawacki expands his inquiry into the possibilities and dangers of a 'global pastoral,' exploring geographies alternately enhanced and flattened out by digital networks, international transit, the uneven and invisible movements of capital, and the unrelenting feedback loops of data surveillance, weather disaster, war."

Thursday, February 13 at 6 PM
Cine, 234 W. Hancock Ave.
Composer, percussionist, and DJ Val Jeanty will take part in a conversation with Ashon Crawley, associate professor of religious studies and African American and African studies.
The event is part of DJ Summits in the Global South, a Global Georgia Initiative research project supported by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, and part of the Global Georgia Initiative public event series of the Willson Center for Humanities and Arts. It is presented in partnership with the Institute for African American Studies and the Latin American and Caribbean Studies Institute.
Jeanty is a Haitian-born composer, percussionist, and turntablist who uses technology to lead listeners into her dream-like, expressionist Afro-Electronica compositions. She incorporates her African/Haitian musical traditions into the present and beyond, combining acoustics with electronics, and the archaic with the postmodern.
Crawley's research and teaching experiences are in the areas of Black studies, performance theory and sound studies, philosophy and theology, and Black feminist and queer theories. He is the author of "Blackpentecostal Breath: The Aesthetics of Possibility" (Fordham University Press, 2016) and the forthcoming "The Lonely Letters" (Duke University Press, spring 2020).

5. Arts + Education for Social Justice Conference
February 22-23
https://art4socialjustice.wordpress.com/registration/
We invite scholars, practitioners, artists, and educators -- from the community and the academy -- to join us for the 10th Art & Education for Social Justice Symposium. The goal of this symposium is to include and amplify voices that are often on the margins of academia and to share the methodologies and results of practices that strive to have a direct public impact. The encounter will focus on the guiding question: How are art and education inspiring, affecting, and promoting social change?
This symposium provides an opportunity to gain insight into a range of practices aligned with social justice, and aims to start a conversation across disciplinary areas. This symposium embraces a perspective informed broadly by the notion of cultural pedagogies and looks forward to contributions from both in and outside the field of education.

Priority date for submissions is February 28, 2020
http://groundworks.io
The Alliance for the Arts in Research Universities (a2ru) issues a call for submissions to its online peer-reviewed collection of interdisciplinary arts projects, Ground Works.
We welcome submissions that integrate research and practice in the fine, performing, and applied arts and design with other disciplines. We seek a wide range of interdisciplinary works that pose a challenge to traditional peer review methods by inviting examination from multiple disciplinary perspectives. Eligible projects have achieved some initial recognition; they may be collaborative or sole-author, but should demonstrably advance multiple fields within and beyond the arts.
