Interdisciplinary Histories Research Cluster would like to draw your attention to its Call for Proposals for the scriptwriting competition  – “History, From Page to Stage”.  This new program is committed to transdisciplinary arts integration and, specifically, the engagement of the performing arts with history and historical research.

We invite UBC faculty and graduate students to develop short plays or new engagements with existing texts that explore the core themes of our research cluster: marginalized, traumatic, and contested histories, and the ways history is represented in the archives and beyond.

Selected proposals will receive funds to support the development of the work, with a public showcase in the fall of 2021. The expected length of the proposed short play/reading is a 15 to 30-minute run-time.

The deadline for submission is October 8, 2020. Call for Proposals and the application form can be found at https://histories-cluster.ubc.ca/history-page-stage-screenwritingreading-competition-application. If you have any further questions, please, do not hesitate to contact us at Interdisciplinary.Histories@ubc.ca. We look forward to seeing your applications!

Dear LFS TAs,

We hope you are keeping well and safe and enjoying the fall semester.

Having a space to share insights or troubleshoot issues is an important part of your professional development. Our Community of Practice space is a monthly, informal virtual get-together for all TAs  primarily to learn from each other.

The purpose of the upcoming COP next week Thursday is to share and hear experiences (new and returning TAs) of online teaching assistance in the new normal. This information is critical as it provides evidence to inform and guide programming and training based on your needs.

Below are the meeting details;

WHEN: October 1, 2020

TIME: 10-11PM

WHERE: Virtual, a link will be sent out to the responders in due time.
