Faculty Seminar, 9am – 4pm, November 12, 2016
Using a medieval Ethiopian manuscript as a starting point, this faculty seminar explores how recent scholarly, material and digital approaches in manuscript studies offer new horizons for teaching and learning. The seminar will be embedded in the Five College museum and special collections, with a special focus on African graphic knowledge systems.
With a $100 stipend for participation, Five College faculty (limited to 10 in total) are encouraged to apply from disciplines including, but not limited to, medieval studies, African(a) studies, (comparative) literature, linguistics, religion, history, art history, Middle Eastern studies, philosophy, anthropology, Black studies, and European studies.
Faculty who are interested in presenting an innovative pedagogical practice or digital manuscript project as part of a Pecha Kucha-style session (20 slides / 20 minutes), are particularly encouraged to apply.
To apply, please email Amy Halliday (ahalliday@hampshire.edu) with a short paragraph explaining your interest in the seminar, and how attendance would inform your teaching or research. Please indicate whether you would like to present in the Pecha Kucha session. Deadline: Friday October 21, 2016.
