This is an opportunity to share your practice/work/research with a small group of faculty and students from different disciplines, and provide one another with feedback, questions, knowledge, and resources. It is intended to be a casual conversation where you can gain perspectives on your practice from outside your own discipline, give insight to others, and find future collaborators.
It is not necessarily a space to present work that you deem 'successful' - it is also intended to be a space where you can talk about work you are struggling with and feel would benefit from outside perspective! Bring questions and thoughts you want to have a conversation about.
Each session will be co-facilitated by a faculty member and one graduate student, occurring for 2 hours during an evening. Each will be located in different buildings around the Temple campuses, coinciding with the department of the faculty member. Dinner will be provided!
Session #2 Media & Communication
Faculty facilitator: Magda Konieczna
General topic: Communication & Representation (Ethics of Interaction)
For anyone who works with other humans as the focus of their work (journalist, psychologist, anthropologist, sociologist, artist, filmmaker, scholar, etc.), representation becomes of utmost importance. Does your work concern communication, engagement and observation, civic responsibility toward your surroundings and its’ inhabitants, representation of people unlike yourself? Please bring your voice to the conversation.
