Futures Initiative

The Futures Initiative aims to advance greater equity and innovation in higher education. Housed at the Graduate Center and reaching throughout the CUNY community, the Futures Initiative empowers the next generation of intellectual leaders with bold, public, and engaged teaching and learning. The Futures Initiative fosters greater understanding of the complexities of the higher education landscape by spearheading qualitative and quantitative research in areas such as academic labor practices and reward systems, open-access multimedia publishing, data visualization and interpretation, and institutional change. Through HASTAC@CUNY (a hub of the online network Humanities, Arts, Science and Technology Alliance and Collaboratory), the Futures Initiative extends its collaborative peer-to-peer practices across institutions, disciplines, national boundaries, and economic and social disparities, promoting reinvestment in higher education as a public good.

    #BUDSC15 NextGen Plenary http://dsconf.blogs.bucknell.edu/nextgen-plenary/

    Call for Speakers

    Bucknell University invites proposals for the NextGen plenary session during its second annual digital scholarship conference, “Collaborating Digitally: Engaging Students in Public Scholarship.” This session will feature student projects that use digital methods to enhance research and learning within and beyond the university. We seek proposals from students engaged in digital scholarship that generates new areas of inquiry to consider and reconsider multiple publics. Proposals that address the ways that digital tools or methods have initiated collaborations between institutions of higher education, across disciplines, or with publics outside of higher education are especially encouraged.

    Plenary speakers will present their projects as 8-minute flash talks during the conference-wide luncheon on Saturday, November . Those selected for the NextGen Plenary will have their conference registration fee waived and will be awarded a bursary to help cover travel costs.

    If you are interested in submitting a proposal, please submit a 250 word abstract via email to Carrie Johnston (cej007 at bucknell dot edu) including the title of your presentation and the name of your institution by Friday, August 21, 2015.

    *Note: the regular abstract deadline has also been extended to Friday, Aug 21 http://dsconf.blogs.bucknell.edu/cfp/.
