    FIFTH ROUND STATEWIDE CALL FOR PROPOSALS Replacing Traditional Textbooks with Open Educational Resources Available to Faculty at Mississippi’s Public Universities and Community Colleges Development Stipends of $4,000 | Deadline: Monday, November 11, 2019 Are students buying the textbooks that you adopt? Do you worry about the cost of books, especially for your students in poverty? Does the bookstore stock enough copies of the books you order? Would you like to create your own mix of readings and activities, instead of relying on traditional textbooks? The University of Mississippi’s Z-Degree Initiative seeks proposals from faculty interested in using free and open digital resources to enhance existing undergraduate courses. Successful proposals will replace one or more traditional books with free and open digital resources, thereby increasing engagement and reducing costs for students. What free digital resources will be acceptable? Any openly-licensed materials that you find valuable and useful will be acceptable. Here are some digital resources that have been used by others: • Free and complete online textbooks • MIT OpenCourseWare from the University of Minnesota’s The Avalon Document Project from Yale Open Textbook Library • and from Rice University’s OpenStax • Lectures and Readings from Academic Earth • The Open Course Library from • Videos and Transcripts from the Washington State C-Span Video Library • E-Books and E-Journals from your own • Lectures from OpenLearn campus library • Modules from Connexions at Rice University • Open Learning Materials at Carnegie Mellon University • OpenCourseWare from UMass Boston Education Portal • Lectures and Readings from iTunes U • Modules and Readings from Project Gutenberg • Open Yale Courses • Free e-books from Lumen Learning • Public archives like The Whitman Archive • Open Courses from Faculty with successful proposals will conduct their research and planning during the spring and summer of 2020, with new course materials being first used during the 2020-2021 academic year.

Amidst all of this, we are humbled and inspired to witness the amazing resilience of the millions of students, teachers, and independent learners using OpenCourseWare, and prioritizing learning. We are inspired by the teaching and learning communities that have come together and the resolve of people who continue to pursue knowledge even as they are isolated. Teaching and learning is what we do, together, even when we are apart. Hearing about your experiences doing so during these most trying circumstances is uplifting.

For over a decade, Chronos has served as a forum dedicated to the dissemination of student research on a broad range of subjects within the realm of history. A number of this edition’s articles were submitted for publication in the 2019-2020 edition of Chronos; unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, that edition never saw the light of day. We mention this only to leave a record for future readers that indeed, we live in historical times. As the COVID-19 pandemic tragically took millions of lives throughout the world, many were faced with a sense of despair in the face of “these unprecedented times.” However, the study of history can serve as a source of comfort by teaching that these times are not unprecedented.

  • PARALLEL EDITING, MULTI-POSITIONALITY and MAXIMALISM: COSMOPOLITAN EFFECTS AS EXPLORED in SOME ART WORKS by MELANIE JACKSON and VIVIENNE DICK Rachel Garfield
    PARALLEL EDITING, MULTI-POSITIONALITY AND MAXIMALISM: COSMOPOLITAN EFFECTS AS EXPLORED IN SOME ART WORKS BY MELANIE JACKSON AND VIVIENNE DICK Rachel Garfield Garfield produces a critique of neo-minimalist art practice by demonstrating how the artist Melanie Jackson’s Some things you are not allowed to send around the world (2003 and 2006) and the experimental film-maker Vivienne Dick’s Liberty’s booty (1980) – neither of which can be said to be about feeling ‘at home’ in the world, be it as a resident or as a nomad – examine global humanity through multi-positionality, excess and contingency. Jackson and Dick thereby begin to articulate a new cosmopolitan relationship with the local – or, rather, with many different localities – in one and the same maximalist sweep of the work. ‘Maximalism’ in Garfield’s coinage signifies an excessive overloading (through editing, collage, and the sheer density of the range of the material) that enables the viewer to insert themselves into the narrative of the work. Garfield detects in the art of both Jackson and Dick a refusal to know or to judge the world. Instead, there is an attempt to incorporate the complexities of its full range into the singular vision of the work, challenging the viewer to identify what is at stake. Rachel Garfield, University of Reading Rachel Garfield is an artist whose work is engaged in portraiture in film and video, the role of lived relations in the formation of subjectivity and Jewish Identity. She lectures in Fine Art and the History of Art at the University of Reading. Parallel editing, multi-positionality and maximalism: cosmopolitan effects as explored in some art works by Melanie Jackson and Vivienne Dick (Rachel Garfield, University of Reading) DOI: 10.5456/issn.5050-3679/2013s06rg OPEN ARTS JOURNAL, ISSUE 1, pp.

  • 1 Frank Stella
    Huffpost Elena Cué November 8, 2017 Frank Stella: “I don’t see that the quality of art has expanded dramatically” By: Elena Cué November 8, 2017 With a warm welcome, one of the most renowned painters of the American artistic scene opens the door of his house to us in New York’s West Village. Frank Stella (Massachusetts, USA, 1936), precursor of minimalism at the time when abstract expressionism led the artistic panorama, shows me the layout of the rooms in the museum where 300 of his works, dating from the end of the 50s until today, will comprise his next exhibition. Whilst holding dear the memory of the great retrospective through which the Whitney Museum of New York paid homage to him, today it is the NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale in Florida that will inaugurate, this November 12th, the exhibition which covers 60 years of his career. The artist invites me to take the elevator to the second floor, where after preparing a coffee, we evoke his life and trajectory. You were born between two World Wars, to a family of Italian inmigrants. What memories do you have from that time? I have some strong memories due to of the war but mainly I remember right after it, when it was all about the destruction and rebuilding of Europe and America. It was a very fast-moving and dynamic period. There was a lot of real growth and an incredible optimism that nobody has seen since; it was amazing. In a way it was a very happy time, everybody was so glad the war was over that it created a kind of momentum to go on.

  • Open Courseware and Developing Countries: Building a Community
    Open Courseware and Developing Countries: Building a Community This is the report of The Forum on the Impact of Open Courseware for Higher Education in Developing Countries, convened in Paris by UNESCO 1-3 July 2002, with the support of the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation and organizational assistance from the Western Cooperative for Educational Telecommunications, WCET. Participants mapped a collaborative course, involving colleges and universities from around the world, for the productive and creative use of openly shared educational resources. In advance comments, summarized in an appendix to this report, they provided insights on the potentials and complex issues involved. This report was prepared by John Witherspoon. Contents The Forum Report Introduction: Open Resources 3 Defining the Concept 3 Prospects and Issues 3 Open Educational Resources: Turning a Concept into Reality 5 Design of an Index/Database 5 Creating a Globally Viable Infrastructure 6 2003: From Concept to Operation 6 Appendix A: Overview of the MIT OpenCourseWare Initiative 7 Appendix B: Summary of Forum Participants’ Preliminary Papers 11 Appendix C: Participants and Organizational Representatives 15 2 Introduction: Open Resources In spring 2001 the Massachusetts Institute of Technology announced that over a half- dozen years the substance of virtually all its courses would be posted on the Web, available for use by faculty members and students around the world, at no charge.1 Just over a year later – before material from its first course was online – MIT’s OpenCourseWare concept became the focus of a new international community. This emerging consortium was organized to evaluate, adapt, use, and develop open resources for its members’ many cultures and diverse languages.
