New Minor for Fall 2015: Museum & Exhibition Studies

Apr 27, 2015 2:45 pm29 views

Are you the kind of person who spends hours the Art Institute, savoring every last brushstroke and wall label? Would you skip out on soccer games and study groups to catch the Hull House Museum's latest community workshop? Are you more into MoMA than movies? Do you believe that an exhibition is more than just a nice display--that museums can transform culture and communities for the better?

If that's you, consider the School of Art & Art History's new minor in Museum & Exhibition Studies.

The Minor in Museum & Exhibition Studies (MUSE minor) is an interdisciplinary program promoting critical and creative thinking that serves as a laboratory for imaginative, justice-focused approaches to the work of cultural institutions. The MUSE minor supplements major courses of study with classroom-based and onsite experiences with museums, galleries, community centers, and digital spaces.

The minor's three core classes challenge students to consider who uses museums and exhibitions and why, and how cultural sites can vitalize communities with transformative content and programming. Electives allow students to deepen their knowledge and gain experience in public history, art curation, museum anthropology, inclusive exhibition design, and more.

Requirements: AH 180, AH 206, and AH 302 (9 credit hours); electives chosen in consultation with a faculty advisor (6 credit hours) Contact: Therese Quinn (Director, Museum and Exhibition Studies) at thereseq@uic.edu, or Alexandra Graves (MUSE Minor Academic Advisor) at angraves@uic.edu Learn more at the School of Art & Art History's website.
Open Society Youth Fellowship for young activists and organizers, Apply by 5/15

Apr 27, 2015 9:45 am29 views

The Open Society Youth Fellowship supports young activists and organizers as thought leaders and allies in crafting solutions and new youth-focused approaches to open society challenges.

Youth Fellows should take advantage of the considerable intellectual and logistical resources of the Open Society Foundations and expect to contribute meaningfully to the Foundations’ thinking in return. While fellows will work outside of Open Society Foundations core offices, they will liaise with the Open Society Youth Exchange to identify opportunities for both in-person and virtual engagement with Open Society staff and partners. The Youth Exchange will work with each individual fellow to identify additional opportunities for the fellow to learn from and collaborate with staff and partners through site visits, speaking engagements, and other fora.

Fellows may produce a variety of work products, including publications, such as reports and blog posts; infographics and other visual content; innovative education and training resources and tools; the launch of new campaigns and organizations; and creation of artistic or cultural expression projects. They may also engage in activities such as hosting panel discussions, traveling to conferences, and presenting on their work in other public spaces.

3 - 5 pm
UIC Women’s Leadership and Resource Center
728 West Roosevelt Road, RRB Entrance

There are times when life pushes us into a new direction and we are left without a plan on how to proceed. Sometimes we don’t do as well in classes we need to pursue a lifelong dream. Sometimes a new interest takes control of our lives. In any case, you need a plan. And Life Coach Ellen Burton wants to help you create one!

Ellen Burton has been called an inspirational leader and a catalyst for change. Her ability to assist and focus coaching clients achieving their goals is exceptional! In addition to personal and professional coaching, Ellen is a nationally acclaimed business lecturer and motivational speaker.

Ellen’s initial career as a Certified Athletic Trainer allowed her to contribute to Division One intercollegiate athletic medicine teams (The University of Michigan, The University of Cincinnati and Eastern Michigan University). Ellen’s clients include senior executives, middle managers, physicians, academics and small business owners. And soon YOU!

This is a two-hour workshop. Not a lecture! That’s boring and our dreams are not boring. We will be working on our dreams! Bring a friend!

And while this event is open to all UIC students, it will be centered on women and those who identify as women.
