Update and Requests

Hi Viz Culters.

A few quick remarks.  

1. We are not meet this coming Thursdays (as I had once suggested) because there will be another GST forum during our meeting time.   Please consider attending this (and other) GST fora as we would like to find ways to intersect our interest in Viz Cult with the revised curriculum (when appropriate).

2.  We would like to get a better sense of the range of faculty, disciplines, and courses engaged or at least interested in visual issues.  I’ll be sending out an email in the next few days/week asking you a few questions about your role (or desired role) in working with visual culture at Elon.  I would appreciate your help with this matter.  We had some really wonderful energy at our last meeting and the time seems “right” to try to get something more formal going. 

3. In the short term, I’d like to start gathering a database of classes in visual culture so if you are teaching a course in the spring you would consider to be “intersecting with visual culture” please send me the name, title, and course day/time.  A brief description would be welcome, but for now the basics are enough.  I will compile these and make them available to our group for advising, but also — and perhaps more appropriately — for opportunities to connect faculty and expertise across campus. 

I’ll be in touch soon to reschedule our meeting.  Until then please keep sending me conference and speaker announcements!

All the best,

Evan
