Center for Excellence in the Arts and Humanities
| Seminars and Workshops The Center for Excellence in the Arts and Humanities (CEAH) sponsors faculty seminars and workshops on focused topics. The events offer Iowa State University arts and humanities faculty the opportunity to learn about funding opportunities and grantsmanship, to present their research in an interdisciplinary setting or to discuss topics related to the CEAH's focus on faculty research. The Office of the Vice President for Research and Economic development (VPRED) offers a full range of workshops for faculty focusing on the development of competitive grant proposals each year: Faculty Orientation and Faculty Development Programs. Interdisciplinary RoundtablesThe Performative Element: The Arts in the Public Sphere Thursday, December 6, 2012 4:10 - 5:30 pm Gold Room, Memorial Union Performance in its multi-variegated manifestation is a highly creative, public act. It can have a resonance for a small or very large audience, be politicized or somewhat neutral, and carry multi-dimensional connotations. The interdisciplinary panel will dissect performance as a process from its conception to its entrance into the public sphere. Participants: Debra Marquart (English) Jane Cox (Theatre) Gregory Oakes (Music) Teresa Paschke (Integrated Studio Arts) Fulbright Brown Bag Lunch SeriesThe concept of this new series of events is to provide an informal setting for ISU faculty and students to learn more about the Fulbright Scholar Program. The talks will be given by Fulbright alumni (Americans who previously had Fulbright fellowships overseas) and current grantees from foreign countries whose ISU experience is sponsored by a Fulbright Program. The talks will last 20-30 minutes, thus allowing 20-30 minutes for discussion and socializing. Because the audience members will come from a wide range of disciplines, the talks will be aimed for a general audience, rather than a specialized discipline. The plan is for three Brown Bags per semester. Within the academic year, we hope to showcase the range of experiences that Fulbrighters have, both academically and culturally, the variety of Fulbright Programs and how they differ in structure, and how the Fulbright experience might differ depending on the country, culture, and historical context. Thus, the aim is to schedule talks from Fulbrighters from a range of disciplines, countries, programs and eras. Altogether, the series will have a mix of old and new contexts, science and humanities, in all types of geographical and political contexts.

In such an environment, a clear articulation of ethical issues arising from science communication is essential. Unfortunately, such an articulation does not yet exist. The purpose of this symposium is to bring together scholars from across disciplines whose research can contribute toward a theoretical articulation of the ethical issues surrounding the communication of science to non-expert audiences. For this symposium, we invite work from relevant disciplines including communication, rhetoric, philosophy, science and technology studies, and the sciences themselves, on topics such as: This list is illustrative but not intended to be exhaustive. Work at all stages of development is invitedfrom early overviews to completed studies. We expect to be able to support travel costs for at least some participants. Contact Michael Dahlstrom, email below, for more information. Proceedings of the workshop will be published in print-on-demand and electronic formats. In addition, this event will serve as the first of a two-part symposium series aimed at the creation of an edited volume introducing the best available work on issues in science communication ethics to our scholarly communities and helping to define the area for future study. For consideration, submit application to mfd@iastate.edu and include: Organizing committee: Michael Dahlstrom, Jean Goodwin, and Susanna Priest For more information: Science Communication at ISU
