Book excerpt: Urban universities must decide how best and to what extent they will participate in the social, economic and cultural development of the larger community and share in social action. "Town and gown" tensions can be magnified in densely populated areas and further intensified by socio-economic disparities. While these issues are often long-standing and complex, it may be that arts programming is particularly positioned to ameliorate tensions and truly connect the institution with the community. Beyond simply discussing how urban universities can use arts programming to be a positive presence in a neighborhood and impact public policy, however, of particular interest to me is how this very programming can be enhanced through community engagement. I investigate not simply how cultural offerings and outreach from urban universities can improve community relations, but how the surrounding community can improve those offerings through their engagement, input and participation. Utilizing academic research methods, I outline the historical dynamics, current trends, and social challenges that inform campus-community relationships. Personal communication with students, educators, administrators and community members affiliated with three local case studies provided opportunity to more intimately explore the relationships necessary for fruitful collaboration and sustainable partnerships. Particular emphasis was placed upon investigating one specific project at each institution to illustrate the parameters and possibilities of community engagement with the Logan Center for Creative and Performing Arts at the University of Chicago, the Stockyard Institute at DePaul University, and the Jane Addams Hull-House Museum at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Findings indicate the benefit of continued commitment to community engagement, the positive impact of years of relationship building, the prevalence of informal partnerships and the recurring belief that shared enjoyment of creative experience strengthens social connections and academic practice in a distinctive way.

Book excerpt: WINNER OF THE FRANCO-BRITISH SOCIETY LITERARY AWARD 2020 'Art is a Tyrant recounts [Bonheur's] life with no little brio.' Michael Prodger, The Times Books of the Year 2020 'A diligently researched, beautifully produced and insistently sympathetic biography.' Kathryn Hughes, Guardian A new biography of the wildly unconventional 19th-century animal painter and gender equality pioneer Rosa Bonheur, from the author of the acclaimed Mistress of Paris and Renoir's Dancer. Rosa Bonheur was the very antithesis of the feminine ideal of 19th-century society. She was educated, she shunned traditional 'womanly' pursuits, she rejected marriage - and she wore trousers. But the society whose rules she spurned accepted her as one of their own, because of her genius for painting animals. She shared an intimate relationship with the eccentric, self-styled inventor Nathalie Micas, who nurtured the artist like a wife. Together Rosa, Nathalie and Nathalie's mother bought a chateau and with Rosa's menagerie of animals the trio became one of the most extraordinary households of the day. Catherine Hewitt's compelling new biography is an inspiring evocation of a life lived against the rules.

Download or read book Campus Life written by Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching and published by Jossey-Bass. This book was released on 1990 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A national study of social conditions on college campuses found that college officials were concerned about alcohol and drug abuse, crime, breakdown of civility, racial tensions, sex discrimination, and a diminishing commitment to teaching and learning. In response to those findings, this book proposes that both academic and civic standards be clarified and that the enduring values that undergird a community of learning be precisely defined. Six principles are presented that provide a formula for day-to-day decision making on the campus and define the kind of community every college and university should strive to be: (1) a purposeful community, (2) an open community, (3) a just community, (4) a disciplined community, (5) a caring community, and (6) a celebrative community. Appendices present detailed results of the 1989 national survey by the Carnegie Foundation that formed the basis for this report. The survey identified campus life issues of concern, as perceived by 382 responding institutions in the National Survey of College and University Presidents and 355 responding institutions in the 1989 National Survey of Chief Student Affairs Officers by the American Council on Education and the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators. The survey also analyzed views on improving campus life, actions likely to improve campus life, and changes over 5 years in specific problem areas. Reference notes accompany each chapter. (JDD)

Book excerpt: Driven by a powerful belief in the value of free expression, Sheryl Oring has for more than a decade been helping people across the United States voice concerns about public affairs through her 'I Wish to Say' project.

The resulting volume will be an essential resource for politically engaged contemporary artists searching for innovative, cross-disciplinary ways of making and sharing art.
