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 #1 Communication Science (College of Public Health)
Faculty facilitator: Dr. Jamie Reilly
General topic: Memory & Cognition (Understanding Abstraction)
Within the overarching topic of Memory & Cognition, we will be looking at the ways in which humans process abstract images and concepts. Does your work concern the use of symbols/symbolism as descriptors or signifiers, abstract imagery, cognition linking language and image, the role of memory in understanding a present moment? Please bring your voice to the conversation.
