Downer Ave.\n\n\n\nFree & open to the public; prior registration requested\n\n\n\n\nJoin us on December 4 for a lunchtime gathering that celebrates C21’s current theme cycle\, SLOW: The pace of being human. \n\n\n\n“Slowness” isn’t only about the big picture\, such as how we live or the important decisions we make. It also applies to the most ordinary parts of our day\, like cooking and eating. In today’s busy world\, a meal often means a burger near the office\, a quick pot of noodles\, or\, at its healthiest\, a salad or protein bowl ordered in. But can these quick meals give us what a home-cooked meal does\, not just for our health\, but also for our enjoyment and for the soul?  \n\n\n\nOn Friday\, December 4th\, we at C21 will gather to share a meal that has been slowly prepared over several hours. Together\, we will explore the idea of slowness in the kitchen: how realistic it is in today’s world\, and how we might bring more of it into our daily lives.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nC21 will provide the main course\, fesenjoon\, with a vegetarian alternative. \n\n\n\nYou are welcome to bring rice\, a side dish\, or a desert. \n\n\n\nThis event is free. All are welcome. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n Register for the Fesenjoon Potluck\n Please RSVP so we can know how much food we’ll need. \n \n \n Step 1 of 2\n \n \n 50%\n \n \n Contact DetailsName(Required)\n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n \n Email(Required)\n \n Enter Email\n \n \n \n Confirm Email\n \n \n \n How did you hear about this event?

C21 centers the humanities in its belief that innovation comes from diversity of opinions\, disciplines\, and experiences.  \n\n\n\nTheme\n\n\n\nC21 has identified PUBLIC GOOD as the theme that informs our offerings for the next three years (2027-2030). We will explore efforts to define and defend as well as to challenge and restrict shared resources\, common infrastructures\, and collective responsibilities\, questioning the meanings of “public” and “good” as founded on exclusion as much as inclusion and shaped by shifting concepts of citizenship\, community\, and obligation. With privatization\, individualism\, and short-term self-interest increasingly determining our current social\, political\, and ecological landscapes\, this theme asks what it means to share things in common with others and to reimagine the possibilities of collective life\, while simultaneously reckoning with competing histories of who defines and deserves access to the common and the collective\, and on whose terms that access is granted or denied. The theme is intentionally broad to capture a wide range of scholarship and practice while encouraging innovative methodologies.     \n\n\n\nC21’s 2027-2028 programming focuses on PUBLIC GOOD: EDUCATION. What does it mean to define education as a public good? Who counts as public\, and what counts as good? C21 takes up these questions while considering the contested histories of access alongside changing ideas of who and what education serves. We will also consider how the humanities in particular position education beyond workforce preparedness to include the cultivation of civic responsibility and the capacity to interpret\, deliberate\, and speculate with others about the world around us\, as well as to reimagine more capacious forms of education than the institutionalized ones that we have inherited.  \n\n\n\nWe welcome multiple interpretations of this open topic\, including broader explorations of “public” and “good” as they relate to pressing issues of our time and/or work inside and outside the university. Applicants can choose to apply with projects that align with education as a subtheme\, or that relate to the overarching theme of public good.  \n\n\n\nResearch Projects\n\n\n\nApplicants should propose a research project related to this thematic area.  Projects can be individual or collaborative.  Examples of projects include: \n\n\n\n\nResearching / preparing material for public presentation in a wide variety of forms including (but not limited to) monographs\, essays\, podcasts\, performances; art installation/exhibits\, community programs; digital interfaces; archives or artifacts.    \n\n\n\nResearching for / development of large-scale collaborative projects (grant proposals\, building networks etc.).   \n\n\n\nResearching / preparing syllabi for innovative\, interdisciplinary team-teaching initiatives or credit-bearing programs such as certificates\, minors\, degrees. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTERMS & HOW TO APPLY URL:https://uwm.edu/c21/event/rfdeadlineay28/ CATEGORIES:Academic Dates and Deadlines,Academic Dates and Deadlines,Arts and Culture,Arts and Culture,Career and Leadership Development,Career and Leadership Development,Graduate Students,SLOW,Students,Students ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://uwm.edu/c21/wp-content/uploads/sites/359/2026/10/AY28-Call-for-RF-Tile_red.jpg X-TRIBE-STATUS: END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
