SUMMARY:Collaborating Beyond the Humanities
DESCRIPTION:The Education Division of the National Endowment for the Humanities fosters curricular innovation through its grant programs. For the past nine years NEH’s Humanities Connections program\, in particular\, has supported curricula connecting the humanities to non-humanities fields. As humanities programs become more interdisciplinary\, faculty must collaborate with colleagues who may share very different approaches\, both to the subject matter itself and to how that content is presented to students. \nPlease join us on January 30\, 2-4 pm EST for a virtual convening on “Collaborating Beyond the Humanities\,” focusing on the health humanities as an exemplary site of interdisciplinary collaboration. In the first hour\, speakers in the health humanities\, including former NEH project directors\, will share their perspectives on the joys\, opportunities\, and challenges of working across disciplines. In the second hour\, all participants will be invited to join breakout rooms for further discussion. \nOur speakers include: \n\nSari Altschuler (associate professor of English and founding director of the Health\, Humanities and Society Program\, Northeastern University)\nScott Muir (director of undergraduate initiatives\, National Humanities Alliance)\nVincent Punzo (professor of psychology and founder of medical humanities at Earlham College)\, and\nElizabeth Dzeng (associate professor of medicine\, University of California-San Francisco).\n\nIf you would like to attend\, please register before January 27 (see button below for link).

SUMMARY:The Farm at Black Mountain College Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Built on more than a decade’s worth of deep\, original archival research\, this exhibition will constitute a comprehensive new history of Black Mountain College. By focusing on the farm\, the exhibition sidesteps the popular paradigm of approaching BMC through its famous faculty and students\, and instead offers a new cast of characters\, one that includes mostly students\, women\, and farmers. It spotlights the importance of collaboration\, both on campus among students\, faculty\, and faculty families\, and in the community with farmers and organizations in nearby cities and towns. Finally\, the exhibition shows what happens when communal living is no longer communal\, and offers the first ever detailed account of the fall of the college\, a dramatic and often dangerous story. \nThe opening reception and a keynote lecture will take place in conjunction with BMCM+AC’s annual ReVIEWING conference hosted at UNC Asheville. Exhibition themes will correspond to the chapters of co-curator David Silver’s book on this topic\, to be published in conjunction with the exhibition in partnership with Atelier Editions. \nCurated by David Silver and Bruce Johansen \nImage: Kenelm Winslow\, Untitled photograph of Black Mountain College work camp\, 1936 – 38.
