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.

6. UGA Teaming for Interdisciplinary Research Pre-Seed Program
Applications open October 1
https://research.uga.edu/team-pre-seeds/about/
The Teaming for Interdisciplinary Research Pre-Seed Program provides early stage developmental funding to facilitate the formation of faculty teams and collaboration around critical areas of research expertise or emerging research topics. The goal of the pre-seed funding is to stimulate the formation of new interdisciplinary research teams that position UGA faculty to be competitive for attracting resources for collaborative research, including internal UGA seed grants and ultimately, external grant support. The Program is offered by the Office of the Vice President for Research, in partnership with the Office of the Provost.
Finding may be used for team-building activities such as networking meals, part-time student support, group website development, and travel to meet with potential external collaborators or funding agencies. Funds will be made available to teams beginning in January 2021.

7. Gallery Talk: Annie Simpson
Monday, October 5 at 7 PM
https://zoom.us/j/99726078394
Annie Simpson will discuss her solo exhibition at the Dodd Galleries, "Disarticulate Ground." Historic roadside markers of Georgia exist for the public as "charming anecdotes," a flimsy surrogate for history, while simultaneously satiating and alienating their viewers through scale and position. Using Situationist tactics of detournement, Dodd graduate candidate, Annie Simpson, alters these markers so that they become even more simply constructed and irreverent, devolving into mad-libs style dead pan. The markers, flags, and armatures, scale shifts, redaction, photochemical processes, automatic drawing, and sutures, make no sense of history. At times they seem confrontational or overwhelming, yet disarticulate or unintelligible.

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.

Deadline: October 30

The Charlayne Hunter-Gault Giving Voice to the Voiceless Program invites proposals from students from across the University of Georgia to undertake projects that amplify marginalized voices and thus carry forward the work of distinguished alumna, journalist and author Charlayne Hunter-Gault. The committee's goal is to recognize and financially support compelling student projects that center on marginalized people or issues, advancing social justice and creating bonds of empathy and understanding. Whatever the platform or medium envisioned or employed (video, podcast, interview, research project or other format) selected projects should show the "giving voice to the voiceless" vision in action. Proposals should be 1-3 pages in length. They should describe the project or story, explain how it will give voice to the voiceless, offer a simple budget to show how funds will be used, and outline hoped-for outcomes, including ideas for sharing the project with audiences.
