See you at WorldWise on Wednesday at 4pm

Hi wmst 300 folks --

I got no negatives for using our Wed class time for attending the WorldWise event, so that's where we shall be for the next class.

It starts at 4:30. You must meet me there at 4pm to sign-in, a half-hour after our usual class beginning. You should remain until at least 6pm, the time our class usually ends.

Note that the event is at the Dance Theater at the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center, northeast of our usual location on campus. Check campus maps if you are not familiar with that area and need parking information or walking information. BE SURE TO ALLOW ENOUGH TIME TO GET THERE AT 4PM.

Driving Directions here.

I will answer the invitation myself for the whole class, so don't do it individually. If you have already done it individually, go back to the site and remove your indiv name and leave a note to say you will be attending with wmst 300 as a class.

Here is another message from the organizers to attenders: please do check out this website before attending the event.


Message about WORLDWISE: FABLES AND FORMULAS

Hello All,

I thought you might all be interested in checking out this additional website that was developed this last week by the LBSC 752 Information Access in the Arts course taught by Kari Kraus. They have compiled a modest bibliography of resources designed to support the Fables and Formulas symposium. They've published it in wiki format at

Enjoy,
Beth

This conversation focuses specifically on the relations of the Sciences and the Arts and Humanities. I hope you can join us. Here are the details:

"Fables and Formulas: The Sciences and the Arts & Humanities Look at Each Other"

How do the arts and the humanities matter to scientists and to their work? Where might there be common ground for collaboration?

In this roundtable conversation, Dean James Harris of the UMD College of Arts and Humanities, award-winning choreographer and Artist-In-Residence, Liz Lerman, and panelists, Eduardo Kac, a Chicago artist internationally known for his interactive net installations and his bio art, and esteemed UMD faculty, Sandra Greer, Jordan Goodman, and Matthew Kirschenbaum will explore these questions.
