1. Exhibition: Exploring Research as Craft
Sunday, March 17 from 2 - 5 PM
ATHICA, 675 Pulaski St., Suite 1200
This pop-up exhibition is the culmination of the project "Exploring Research as Craft: A Workshop Series to Promote Cross-Discipline Communication by Examining Processes of Creating to Approach Questions." Refreshments will be served.
How does the researcher's hand guide materials in efforts to contribute new understandings about the world around us? How does the artist's practice press into the intuition of scientific research to draw out non-linear truths and trajectories? How does material gain and define meaning through interdisciplinary efforts?
"Exploring Research as Craft" collaboratively engages seemingly disparate disciplines through craft, material meaning making, and critical response. Academic siloing and the prioritization of jargon over communication endorse strict and disciplined understandings of science, art, research, and craft. Here, we evince the porous and fluid natures of these concepts. We actively call upon shared language and meaningful encounters to establish links between spaces of differently situated knowledges.
As entanglement and productive friction are increasingly recognized as vital tools within collaboration, there is a growing need to develop practices of intentioned engagement. Here, we reveal the visual dialogue that is possible within and among diverse research practices. Individuals from manifold departments at the University of Georgia have brought together their craft to create new media-based languages for personal history-making, speculative organ generation, virtual reality, performance as embodied re-experiencing, and other visually poetic statements for the deconstruction of traditional disciplinary divides.
"Exploring Research as Craft" is supported by Ideas for Creative Exploration and ATHICA: Athens Institute for Contemporary Art.

4. Call for Participation: Gender, the Body, and Fieldwork Symposium: Creative Expressions
Deadline: March 17
http://bit.ly/genderandfieldwork
Alden DiCamillo and Rebecca Atkins are co-organizing a creative expressions collaboration as part of the Gender, the Body, and Fieldwork symposium. Through collaborative artist/researcher groups, this session will combine narratives of gender and the body within fieldwork through material and performance explorations from across a plethora of disciplines. We hope to open pathways of visual and media-based engagement for (re)defining gender narratives within fieldwork across disciplines.
Gender, the Body, and Fieldwork will be held on April 19 at the University of Georgia. Initiated by Christina Crespo and Sammantha Holder, this event will be a full day of opening up discussion on what is "fieldwork," constructing narratives of body within fieldwork, a plenary lunchtime speaker, mentoring, and collaborative media engagements between artists and researchers.
The website for the event, including registration for all sessions and volunteering, can be found at:

5. Opportunity: Three Minute Thesis Competition
Deadline: Monday, March 18
http://grad.uga.edu/index.php/current-students/professional-development/3mt/
Three Minute Thesis is a research communication competition open to all graduate students, regardless of discipline. It challenges students to present their work in just three minutes, using only one static slide. Competitors are judged on both the content of their presentations and the delivery. Preliminary heats will be held the week of March 25th, and finals will take place at 7:30 pm on April 10th at Cine. Winners receive cash prizes and the chance to represent UGA at the regional competition. Please note: Students must present their own research, and it must be from their current degree program (so, doctoral students must present their dissertation research, not research from a prior master's degree).
