SUMMARY:Anthros on the Public Stage: Interactive Workshop for Public Speaking & Writing
DESCRIPTION:Are you an anthropologist eager to share your research experiences and insights to make a difference in the world? Have you ever wondered how to tell a compelling story that can help people understand each other better and resolve their differences? Would you like to learn some strategies for communicating persuasively with print/digital media? Or might you be interested in coaching peers\, students\, or groups you work with to relate their experiences? If you answered yes to at least one of these questions\, this course is for you! \nThis course has two overarching goals: 1) Take the guesswork out of speaking to and writing for general audiences\, and 2) Equip you with the tools and strategies for successful public engagement. To accomplish these goals\, we will build on four modules from the anthrocurious.com production of Anthropologists on the Public Stage (2022): \n\nDevelop an Idea Worth Sharing\nConnect with the Media\nTell a Great Story\nPromote Yourself and Anthropology\n\nFour two-hour sessions represent the foundation for the course\, with assignments in between\, from Noon – 2:00 p.m. Eastern on October 6\, 13\, 20\, and 27. At the start of each session\, we introduce relevant video and solicit your reactions to it. Then we springboard to exploring an idea you would like to share publicly\, using tips presented in the video. In at least two sessions\, we will be uploading one or more documents (e.g.\, working papers\, articles\, reflections) to an AI platform and will suggest some ways to query it. Then\, it will be your chance to become creative as you see your initial idea in relation to the AI-generated text. You will work to extend your idea in new directions with strategies for developing your plan for media and public engagement. Opportunities will be available to get guidance from communication experts during the course. \nBy participating in this course\, you will come away with a media and public engagement plan\, which includes storytelling techniques and tools to move from idea to audience-ready\, media outreach tactics\, and promotional strategy.

SUMMARY:Department Climate and Academic Workload in Anthropology Departments
DESCRIPTION:Scholars of intersectional identities face unique challenges in their departments including disproportionate workloads\, excessive service assignments\, and additional mentorship obligations. Patricia A. Matthew\, an English department faculty member at Montclair State University\, describes these extra commitments as “invisible labor” – because institutions do not value this labor with the currency they typically use to reward faculty work: reappointment\, tenure\, and promotion. This webinar session\, hosted by SSRC PROGRESS\, is structured around a participant-led discussion of two case studies\, with two discussion facilitators to support a meaningful dialogue on issues of department climate and academic workload/career advancement. The ultimate goal of this session is to have an open discussion of both challenges and successes in employing DEI interventions in anthropology departments. \nPROGRESS is an NSF ADVANCE adaptation grant program that addresses organizational policies and procedures related to advisory board formation\, peer review\, and fellowship/awards conferment to ensure that diversity\, equity\, and inclusion measures are meaningful and effective. Housed within the Social Science Research Council\, PROGRESS partners with five disciplinary associations – the American Anthropological Association\, the American Economic Association\, the American Historical Association\, the American Political Science Association\, and the American Sociological Association. \nPresenters \n\nVeronica Zepeda\, Program Director\, Sloan Scholars Mentoring Network – Social Science Research Council\nFred Palm\, VP of Administration and Operations\, P.I. of PROGRESS – Social Science Research Council\n\nFees: Free for members and non-members

SUMMARY:The REAL AI revolution: the benefits of Chatbot Augmented Instruction
DESCRIPTION:Join Michael Wesch and Elisa (EJ) Sobo for an exciting conversation on how to leverage generative AI for better teaching and learning! Together\, they will delve into the challenges presented by large language models and generative AI technologies\, offering not only concrete suggestions for classroom practice but also timely reflections on the purpose of higher education. “In meeting this new technology with creativity and purpose\, we can reorient education’s compass needle back toward process as opposed to product – toward thinking about as opposed to merely recounting what others have said” – and as we do\, we can bolster efforts to increase equity in higher education too: “The adaptations we create\, not ChatGPT\, could be the real revolution” (Sobo\, 2023\, 1). By guiding students to apply generative AI in innovative classroom activities and projects\, we can empower our students to use this technology as a practical tool for inquiry and discovery while also interrogating its potential sociocultural impacts. \nSobo\, E. (2023). Could ChatGPT Prompt a New Golden Age in Higher Education? Teaching and Learning Anthropology\, 6(1). http://dx.doi.org/10.5070/T36160114 \nPresenters \nMichael Wesch is a winner of the CASE/Carnegie US Professor of the Year Award\, Professor of Anthropology at Kansas State University\, and founder of anth101.com\, an award-winning free textbook alternative for Introduction to Cultural Anthropology. \nElisa (EJ) Sobo\, professor of anthropology\, is Director for Undergraduate Research in the College of Arts and Letters at San Diego State University\, and AI Faculty Fellow in the Instructional Technology division. A past president of the Society for Medical Anthropology (SMA) and a past Convener for the AAA’s Section Assembly Executive Committee (SAEC)\, Dr. Sobo’s research concerns non-biomedical or ‘alternative’ approaches to health including\, most recently\, yogic sound bath therapy. \nFees: Free for members and non-members
