Proposals due March 30 for conference, "Arts and Humanities: Toward a Flourishing State?"

[Announcement from Comm-engagedscholarship listserv]

Dear community-engaged scholarship colleagues,

Arts & Humanities: Toward a Flourishing State?
Association of American Colleges & Universities' Network for Academic Renewal
November 3-5, 2011
Providence, Rhode Island
Proposals are due March 30

Arts & Humanities: Toward a Flourishing State? will focus attention on innovative and practical approaches to the arts and humanities as integral to liberal education. It will explore ways in which campuses and classrooms are addressing the well-being of the arts and humanities and connecting them with other disciplines, professional fields, and the common good of communities, from local to global.

Proposals are invited on four major themes:

    * The arts and humanities engaged by big questions, both contemporary and enduring
    * The arts and humanities practiced extensively across the curriculum, engaging creativity, critical thinking, inquiry and analysis, and an array of literacies
    * The arts and humanities as human expression, anchored through active involvement in civic life, in local and global communities, addressing real-world challenges across peoples lives
    * The arts and humanities in synthesis and advanced accomplishment, demonstrated through application and performance, using new pedagogies and forms of assessment
