8. Art & Education for Social Justice Symposium
February 21-23, 2020
Lamar Dodd School of Art Building
https://art4socialjustice.wordpress.com/about/documentation/
Call for Participation
Deadline: September 1
UGA will host the 10th Art & Education for Social Justice Symposium. Proposals are welcome from faculty, students, and community members. Collaborations are encouraged! This is a collaborative project between UGA's Department of Art Education, the UGA School of Social Work, & the FSU Department of Art Education.
This call for proposals invites scholars, practitioners, artists, and educators -- from the community and the academy -- to share their work. Social justice is a broad objective that inspires an interdisciplinary approach and of interest is how art and education can support such initiatives. 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?

10. a2ru 2019 National Conference
November 7 - 9
University of Kansas
https://www.a2ru.org/events/2019-national-conference/
Early Registration through September 1
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.
