The Impossible Project: Discrimination
Friday, December 6, 2019
5:00-7:00 p.m. in the Center for the Arts
Catering by Dapper Goose
Thirty two scholars, seven peer mentors, six faculty advisors, five film students and one impossible project.
Impossible Project: Discrimination, a daring pedagogical experiment developed in the Honors College where first year students are tasked with solving a world problem.
In Collaboration with UB’s Arts Collaboratory, Office of Diversity and Inclusion, University Honors College and Office of Inclusive Excellence.
Project description
The UB North Campus consists
of a massive platform-megastructure surrounded by turf-grass, parking lots, and
roads. Could UB do better? The UB Faculty Senate and Professional Staff Senate
have established committees to find ways of improving our campus environment.
The committee’s objective
this year is afforestation: the establishment of vital forest ecosystems on the
campus. We are searching for:
· precedents
· investigating practical feasibility
· considering alternative forestry plans
· educating the UB community about our
effort with articles or artworks
· seeking funding by which UB can start
· examining alternatives to surface parking
· researching other related options
Would you like to join us?
Junior and senior undergrads (END 488) and grad students (END 588/URP 588) are
eligible with permission of the instructor – https://forms.gle/fSpB5g8hrnPtYpHbA.
END 488/END 588/URP 588 – MAKING A CAMPUS
FOREST is a three-credit seminar/practicum, with heavy emphasis on individual
or group work. During some weeks, students will hear from specialist
guests, undertake individual research or creative projects, and present results
to each other and to members of the Faculty Senate and Professional Staff
committees. (This year we will not actually be planting trees, sorry.) Some
weeks we will not meet in class but rather have one-on-one of small-group
meetings on your projects. Students may be required to upload their
projects onto their UB ePortfolio and to strive to earn digital badges
where possible.
Project outcome
Through ongoing consultation
with the instructor, you will prepare an intellectual product in service of
campus afforestation planning. Generally, you will be expected to submit
successive versions of your product, leading to ever higher quality. The product
may be:
· research paper on methods of forest
restoration
· an essay on forest literature and
symbolism
· a study of other college campus policies
· a review of charitable foundations that
support forestry
· a study of SUNY-wide policies
· a series of articles meant for newspaper
or online publication
· outcomes in the form of performance or
public speaking
· landscape-related art or
architecture relying heavily on living vegetation
· curation of an exhibit
If your proposed project is
very much outside the instructor’s area of knowledge, he may accept it upon on
the condition that you and he can identify and involve an additional mentor.
