  • Johns Hopkins University Style Guide Contents Introduction Names
    JHU Office of Communications Style Guide page 1 Johns Hopkins University Style Guide Contents • Introduction • Names: Johns Hopkins University and its divisions • Style guidelines Introduction These guidelines were compiled by editors in the Office of Communications to encourage consistency and correct usage of terms across the many publications produced by JHU offices. The guidelines draw from The Associated Press Stylebook 2019 and the 17th edition of The Chicago Manual of Style. Written from a Johns Hopkins point of view, the guidelines are intended to complement AP and CMOS and, when those sources disagree, to choose between them. For points not addressed in the university guidelines, AP is the preferred source. For points not listed in AP, use the dictionary it recommends: Webster’s New World College Dictionary. When the dictionary gives two spellings, use the first one; when the dictionary and AP give different spellings, use AP’s. A number of individual JHU publications have their own style sheets, more detailed and directed to handling specialized content. Johns Hopkins Medicine, for example, has posted its Branding and Use of Name Toolkit http://brand.hopkinsmedicine.org/gui/content.asp. The guidelines below will supplement those already existing and will contribute to the effort to bring overall consistency to university publications. Names: Johns Hopkins University and its divisions The Johns Hopkins University/The Johns Hopkins Hospital: The preferred shortened name for Johns Hopkins University is Johns Hopkins, not Hopkins. The acronym JHU can be used as a shortened form in informal or internal communications and to avoid repetition of the Hopkins name.

  • State District Organization Name Discipline / Field City Project
    State District Organization Name Discipline / Field City Project Description Fiscal Year Grant Amount To support the re-translation from the French of the 512-line poem "The Young Fate" by French poet Paul Valery. T.S. Eliot was convinced that, more than Rilke or Yeats, Valery (1871-1945) would remain "for posterity the representative poet of the first half of the 20th century." His influence on other poets is well-documented, among them John Ashbery, Wallace Stevens, and J.D. McClatchy. Yet, "The Young Fate," widely considered one of the more important poems in the last 100 years, is little known in the MD 0 Balbo, Ned Literature Baltimore 2017 $12,500 U.S., in part because the best existing English translation is difficult to obtain, and the best American versions are outdated. Originally published in 1917, it presents a young woman standing outside on a starry night, overlooking the ocean, contemplating her connection to time, death, and the natural world. This retranslation will come in time to celebrate the poem's centennial, and will include an introduction, notes, and a brief biography of Valery. MD 0 Dickinson, Elizabeth Literature Baltimore N/A 2018 $25,000 To support the retranslation of Latin and Greek lyric poetry from the 7th century B.C.E. to the 1st century C.E. in one comprehensive anthology. Featuring between 25 and 50 master poets from Archilochus to Martial—including well-known classical poets such as Sappho, Ovid, and Horace—this 448-page anthology of lyric poetry will offer a multiplicity of voices and personalities from different times and places (epic poetry, by MD 0 Childers, Christopher Literature Baltimore 2018 $12,500 contrast, is more objective, panoramic, and mythical).

  • The Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University the NEXT
    The Peabody Institute of The Johns Hopkins University THE NEXT NORMAL: Arts Innovation and Resilience in a Post-COVID World Wednesday, February 10, 2021 Artists Panel, 10:45 am TRANSCRIPT ** Fred Bronstein: Good morning. My name is Fred Bronstein. I'm the dean of the Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University. It is my pleasure to welcome you to the Next Normal: Arts Innovation and Resilience in a Post-Covid World. Thank you for joining us today for this important series of conversations. Last August the Brookings Institution published a study on the impact of the pandemic on the arts and culture industry across the United States. I don't need to recount the statistics here, but the study painted a devastating picture of the immediate loss of jobs, revenues, and, indeed, artistic talent. It wasn't that any of us needed a study to tell us what we were observing in cities and institutions across the land. But it did put numbers on the page objectively and brought to mind the adage, “I'm shocked, but not surprised.” Since the Brookings study there have been numerous other studies, articles, and blogs written about our field, its recovery, and the best ways to get from here to there. Clearly, it is essential for us to individually and collectively figure out how to help our institutions survive first, and then recover. And yes, the next year or two will be critical. But I believe that if we don't look beyond the immediate future to think about the impact of Covid within the context of trends that existed long before the pandemic and think about this over a longer horizon over decades, then we'll have missed an opportunity to shape that future and perhaps even address some of the challenging macro trends, as we saw for more immediate issues.

    The Peabody Institute of The Johns Hopkins University THE NEXT NORMAL: Arts Innovation and Resilience in a Post-COVID World Wednesday, February 10, 2021 Arts Funders Panel, 2:30 pm TRANSCRIPT ** Fred Bronstein: Welcome back, everybody, for our third panel today. This is a panel of funders, and I want to bring them on, beginning with Anita Contini, the arts program lead at Bloomberg Philanthropies – welcome, Anita; Ben Cameron, the president of Jerome Foundation – welcome, Ben; and Susan Feder, the arts and culture program officer at the Mellon Foundation. Welcome, Susan, and welcome to all of you. Thanks for being here with us today. I think one of the really interesting things about you as a group is you represent very deep, long, deep experience in the arts. Well, in the funding world and, of course, in the arts funding world as well. As we talk about and grapple with the issues of Covid, a lot of what we're trying to talk about today is long- term impact as opposed to the immediate impact we all know has been devastating. But the long- term impact is, I think, a really important question. We'll do this the way we did the other panels. We'll do 15 minutes or so, or however long it takes, for us to do an opening question. I would love to get your thoughts on a couple of things. And then we'll do some other questions, have some conversation, and then the last 15 minutes of the hour we will take some questions from the participants.
