Such hybrid sites as the Seattle Art Museum's Olympic Sculpture Park and others are both public park space and in-depth learning ground for pertinent issues relating to art and environment. The bike rider passing through the park is as valued as the participant of a focused art activity. These sites act as cultural intersections where rigorous and impactful programming for multigenerational audiences fosters social, collaborative, and creative experiences. Learn how you can develop such catalyzing cultural spaces within your community.
In conjunction with our current exhibition, An Aesthetics of Slowness curated by Chuơng-Đài Võ, on February 15 at 2 pm, Dorsky Gallery Curatorial Programs is pleased to present: The Instability of Perception A Panel Discussion Moderated by Exhibition Curator Chuơng-Đài Võ with Artists Ashley Billingsley and Paul Qaysi and Scholar Gabrielle Starr
The exhibition An Aesthetics of Slowness embraces the limits of perception in apprehending physical experience. In their opacity and seeming transparency, the projects do not offer easily discernible representations, but instead focus our perception on the process of looking and seeing. This panel brings together two of the artists in the exhibition and a researcher of aesthetics and neuroscience to speak about their approaches to the question of perception. Ashley Billingsley will talk about her representations of landscape as a vehicle for exploring the inadequacy of the senses in deciphering direct experience. Paul Qaysi will discuss his examination of the invisible structures of perception and framing that shape notions of truth and reality about war, death and civilian casualties. Gabrielle Starr will discuss her research on how the brain responds to aesthetic stimulation.

Presentation delivered by Mary Savig, Archives of American Art, Archives Specialist, at the Smithsonian Archives Fair on October 22, 2010 in Washington, DC.
With over 16 million items—from passionate love letters to liquor store receipts—the Archives of American Art is the largest collection of primary source material on the history of American art. It presents three thematically centered exhibitions each year in the Lawrence A. Fleischman Gallery, located in the Donald W. Reynolds Center for American Art and Portraiture. Mary Savig will provide an overview of the Archives’ exhibition program, including how staff continue to address the challenge of engaging visitors with archival material.
I feel disheartened with the harsh anti-Omicron measures by the mob rule that leads to the closure of swimming pools and the bitterness of lifeguards without income compensations from the Financial Secretary. If the Kowloon Walled City was not demolished, I hope that my lifeguard buddies and I could go back to the Kwong Ming Road there for enjoying a non-restrained mode of sexist life. Of course I disagree with drug abuse and gambling. I just purely want some fun from sex.
Our society after the Handover without Kowloon Walled City is bounded by lots of bureaucratic concerns like the qualification frameworks, meritocracy, upward social mobility, certifications for career requirements, complaint culture, perceptions from relatives and so forth. But, in this "triple non-administrative area", I could suffer from no pressures and freely search for the nourishment of love without any fear on secular judgments. It is because this area was of no rules. I do not need to condone the criticisms from loyal rubbishes and pan-democrats, as well as the ideological restrictions from either British side or PRC side. It is just like living in North Pole and South Pole, that I can freely choose what sorts of ideologies I hope to accomplish. As there's no need for worrying about the prospect of Hong Kong after 2047, all the pretty girls inside the Walled City can just purely talk about sex and romance with me instead of talking about politics and overseas relocation. Also, I can be confident if running a self-entrepreneurial business at Kowloon Walled City under the absence of property hegemony.

Supporting Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in Canadian Libraries Allan Cho
According to the Canadian Federation of Library Associations (CFLA-FCAB)’s position statement, “libraries have a responsibility to contribute to a culture that recognizes diversity and fosters social inclusion.” Yet the numbers tell a different story, and a recent research study that examined racial and ethnic diversity among Canadian academic librarians in a nationwide survey found a lack of ethnic diversity among the profession. Similarly, when American Library Association (ALA) released "Diversity Counts," the comprehensive study revealed a lack of diversity in librarianship that failed to reflect the demographic shifts across the United States. In 2012, a landmark study captured for the first time demographics of visible minority librarians in Canada, and found an overwhelming need from respondents for a forum to share ideas, a mentorship program, and networking opportunities. Drawing on their research and experiences, this session's panelists share experiences, insights, and concerns relating to the representation, identity, bias, educational barriers, and other issues they have observed and encountered within the library landscape and society at large. How can Canadian librarians support their racially and ethnically diverse librarian colleagues? What are the issues and challenges faced by Canadian libraries with respect to the recruitment and retention of a racially and ethnically diverse workforce? And how can libraries advocate for and promote racial and ethnic diversity in the library profession beyond the confines of their own libraries?

Ricepaper Magazine: Publishing From 1.0 to 2.0 Allan Cho
Ricepaper magazine is a Canadian magazine which has showcased Asian Canadian literature, culture, and the arts since 1994. Ricepaper first began in 1994 as a newsletter for the Asian Canadian Writers’ Workshop (ACWW) – eight pages which were photocopied back-to-back and stapled together. Ricepaper was a way for ACWW members to communicate amongst each other as well as celebrate each other’s successes. ACWW, a non-profit organization, continues to publish Ricepaper today. From these humble beginnings, Ricepaper became a quarterly magazine that was distributed coast-to-coast, publishing the new voices coming out of the Asian Canadian arts and literary community. Ricepaper continues to be the longest running Canadian literary magazine of its kind with an Asian Canadian perspective.
"Digital Humanities in East Asia" is a presentation at the UBC Digital Humanities Mixer on August 11, 2016. It is a summary of the research I had completed during my sabbatical.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
