The March, 2021 DOLCE Invitation
Dear Faculty Colleagues,
On behalf of Academic Technology Services (ATS), I am writing to invite you to our March DOLCE (Discussing Online Learning and Collaborative Education) meeting that will take place this Friday, March 5th at noon PST via Zoom.
We will hear first from Dr. Randy Haas, Assistant Professor at the Department of Anthropology. He will discuss "How Archaeology + an ATS Visual Altered Public Understanding of Human History" and share his experience collaborating with ATS visual artists to illustrate his research findings and share with the public. ATS Senior Artist Matthew Verdolivo will also share his perspectives on this project. The collaborative work has been recognised and featured in many national and international publications and both scholarly and popular media outlets.
After hearing from Randy and Matt, we will pivot to a discussion of our plans for teaching in-person classes this fall. A select few faculty, such as Keith David Watenpaugh and myself, will be teaching small in-person outdoor classes this spring. Watenpaugh, Professor and Director of Human Rights Studies, will share his planned teaching strategies for his in-person, socially distanced “Public Speaking for Human Rights Advocacy” class. After each presentation, we will have time for questions, answers, and discussion. This event will be recorded, but we still hope you can join us synchronously.
Please register now, mark your calendar for noon on March 5th, 2021, and share this event with your faculty colleagues.
In the future, please plan to join us first and third Fridays of each month during the school year for our ongoing presentations and discussions on remote and mediated teaching at UC Davis. I look forward to seeing you at DOLCE this coming Friday, March 5th, 2021 at noon!
Best regards,
Dr. Andy Jones
