Journals

  • UNC System Learning and Technology Journal

    The UNC System Learning and Technology Journal publishes the proceedings from the UNC System Learning and Technology Symposium and special issues on relevant topics.  

    The UNC System Learning and Technology Symposium, held annually or bi-annually, showcases innovative and effective practices across the system. It’s clear that the future of learning is multi-modal, champions inclusion and equity, and promotes openness. We must work in increasingly collaborative ways, and establish cross-campus and system partnerships to achieve our goals. Faculty, librarians, staff, and graduate students across the system are invited to participate to learn from one another and share innovative and effective practices in technology-enhanced learning in all modes. We welcome a range of formats, from ideas in formation to case studies and other approaches.

    Please see ANNOUNCEMENTS for the current CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS.

  • Odissi Odyssey

    2023 Conference "Sadhana: Art and Philosophy of Curvilinearity"

    Sadhana, daily dance practice, is a sacred space for dancers engaged in Odissi dance, an eastern Indian traditional art form. Every Odissi dancer claims her identity within the field of dance through daily practice of foundational steps as well as canonical repertoire. This space is also one of innovation and resistance, as noted by dance-scholar/ film-maker Nandini Sikand. While Odissi dancer Bijayini Satpathy finds this space for intentionality within corporeal exploration and expansion, educator-choreographer Rohini Dandavate finds this generative for socio-political relevance. Mangalacharan (invocation) to Moksha (transformative freedom) animates the life and being of every Odissi dancer. This conference is a modality of engaging with this traditional configuration and proposition while infusing it with social justice initiatives, such as anti-caste, anti-racist, anti-imperialist, anti-capitalist, and anti-classist resistance. This conference will be an online conference held on video-conferencing because we want to be as inclusive as possible. It will have an in person component catering to the local Indian community as well as the regional and national Odissi dancer community.
