I’m getting ready for the 2013-2014 school year! Here are some of the adventures I’ll be embarking on:
-Planning events as the Administrative Chair of Emerging Leaders in the Arts Network, AAD’s chapter of Americans For the Arts Emerging Leaders Network
-Booking performing arts acts as the Performing Arts Coordinator for U of O’s Cultural Forum
-Serving as a Graduate Teaching Fellow for AAD by assisting with the undergraduate AAD course Art and Gender, taught by Julie Voelker-Morris (I couldn’t have asked for a better assignment–helping convey the intersection between the arts and women’s and gender studies to new students)
-And of course, completing my AAD coursework and terminal research! What path will my research take me on this year? I suspect I will start to get a clearer picture through the core course, Research Proposal.
Here’s to a really good year. I wish both my cohort and the incoming AADers plenty of fun, a healthy dose of determination, and creative and intellectual epiphanies galore in the next nine months. Let’s get it started!
