Title: Call for Proposals-- Public Acts, Public Arts: An Interdisciplinary
Conference on Ethnic Studies Hosted by the Committee on Ethnic Studies, Harvard University The founding assumption of ethnic studies was that there was a disconnection between the interests of the academy and the concerns of the public. In recent years, in anniversary celebrations for pioneering ethnic studies programs and books like Mark Chiang’s Cultural Capital of Asian American Studies, there has been a call to reengage and reexamine this unfortunate distance. The Committee on Ethnic Studies invites papers for its annual spring conference that consider and/or embody, celebrate and/or critique the varied “practices” and “publics” that comprise ethnic studies. Our keynote address will be delivered by Professor Robert Warrior, director of the American Indian Studies program at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and president of the Native American and Indigenous Studies Association. We seek presentations from graduate students, community activists, artists, and scholars of approximately 20 minutes. We encourage a broad, expansive interpretation of our conference theme, “Public Acts, Public Arts.” Possible presentation topics include (but are not limited to): new approaches to identity and community; migration, displacement and diaspora; globalization studies and ethnic studies; the “post-racial” and Obama; popular culture and performance studies; museum and material culture studies; and studies on “practice” and public culture. Please submit a proposal of no more than 300 words by March 8, 2010. Please include your name and affiliation. |

IARC also holds a small collection of archival photographs, documents, and film. The goal of IARC is to bridge the divide between art/creativity and research/scholarship by supporting initiatives and projects that illuminate the intersections of the social sciences, humanities, and arts. IARC supports research and scholarship in Native studies, art history, and creative expression. IARC accomplishes this by providing opportunities for artists to engage in uninterrupted creativity through artist fellowships; fostering dialogue among artists, researchers, scholars, and community members through special seminars and programs; nurturing future arts and museums professionals through experiential training; and promoting study and exploration of the IARC collection of Native arts. The interns will devote their time to working on IARC programs, directed research and writing activities, and collections management and registration. In addition to daily duties specific requirements include presenting a research paper at the SAR Colloquium Series; attending a national conference; assisting in the coordination and facilitation of one IARC seminar or symposium; providing tours of the IARC collection; and working on outreach initiatives to Native communities.

Title: Native American Recording Project- Call for Music Scores RMA Music in Los Angeles is seeking music by Native American composers for recording purposes. We are seeking music of a “concert” or “classical” nature, i.e., orchestra, band, chamber and/or solo works. Some commercial music such as film scores will be considered. Funding for this project is coming from various grants. The amount of these grants will determine the number of composers participating. The greater the number of participants, the greater the grant money. Even though a composer’s music may not be recorded immediately, we encourage everyone to send music now. A good response to this call will help find additional funding to continue the project. Current funding: “This event is supported [in part] through Subito, the advancement grant program of the San Francisco Bay Area Chapter of the American Composers Forum”. It also has the approval of the First Nations Composers Initiative (FNCI), the Society of Composers, Inc. (SCION), and the American Composers Forum (ACF). All music will be recorded using state-of-the-art computer generated programs and sound libraries. All rights to the music will remain the property of the composer. No distribution is involved or implied. The composer will be free to distribute or use the finished recordings in whatever way he or she deems appropriate. This service is completely free. All recordings will be ‘performed’ by composer, Richard Audd. A native of Oklahoma, Richard is a member of the Muscogee Creek Tribe and of Creek and Cherokee descent. He has won two international awards for his MIDI realizations and for many years been a composer and video editor in Los Angeles. |
