Scholarship Skills for the 21st Century: A Roundtable Discussion

CU | 262
DC | BH 315
GC | Nesbitt 5105
OC | 564 (VTC launch site)

Facilitated by Katherine Kipp and Sean Boyle

This will be a roundtable discussion of contemporary research skills and researching opportunities available at UNG. We’ll consider how we define scholarship, using social media to reconnect with the research community, and the growing trend of academic branding. We’ll also introduce various bibliographic and publishing skills that are available and supported by UNG libraries. In an extended discussion time, we’ll share successes and concerns about developing our own scholarship.

 

“Adding Africa and Mesoamerica to World Lit 1: An Introduction to Sundiata and the Popol Vuh”: EPDS

Cumming | 262
Dahlonega | BH 315
Gainesville | Nesbitt 5105 (VTC launch site)
Oconee | 564

Facilitated by Steve Pearson

Although it is not difficult to create a truly global World Lit 1 course–China, Japan, India, and the Middle East have plenty of great texts–finding material for teaching early African and Mesoamerican literature can be more challenging. Two of the most widely anthologized texts for those areas, the Sundiata and the Popol Vuh, are both useful but can be daunting to newcomers. This presentation gives an overview of the two stories and provides ideas about how to connect them to other texts on your syllabus.
