LTC: A Coach, and Artist and a Scientist Walk into a Circle
Three faculty members from wildly different disciplines visited each other’s native teaching habitats (the studio, the court, the key/blackboard) during fall term. Despite the obvious superficial differences, they encountered surprising commonalities and shared challenges for their students in these vastly different environments: about failure, about spatial reasoning and visual language, about how a group can genuinely become a team. In this session, they’ll share some of these commonalities—and a few of the ways in which they’re all jealous of each other. Kelly Connole, Associate Professor of Art; Heidi Jaynes, Professor of Physical Education, Athletics, and Recreation; David Liben-Nowell, Associate Professor of Computer Science

Michael McNally, Professor of Religion; Andy Flory, Assistant Professor of Music; Adrienne Falcón, Director of Academic Civic Engagement and Adjunct Instructor in Sociology; Éva Pósfay, Professor of French

Inspired by the exhibition “Lifeloggers: Chronicling the Everyday” and offering highly creative personal data visualizations, this panel will explore how ‘big data,’ collected for personal or scholarly projects, is analyzed, visualized, materialized, and otherwise organized for public consumption. Cosponsored by the Perlman Teaching Museum and QuIRK. Laurel Bradley, Director and Curator of the Perlman Teaching Museum; David Lefkowitz, Associate Professor of Art; Doug Foxgrover, Communication and Training Coordinator, Information Technology Services; Jeff Ondich, Professor of Mathematics and Computer Science
