STEM Education Outreach "Brown Bags" Begin Again UT's STEM Education Outreach "Brown Bags" will kick off the year with a planning meeting on Friday, September 7 at 12:00 Noon, hosted by TN-SCORE, in the Business Incubator Building. While our meetings are always open, this group is mainly geared towards professional staff practitioners and non-tenure-track faculty who directly facilitate and manage ongoing STEM outreach projects, programs, services, and relationships with community partners, and who are interested in sharing resources and information. RSVP Here<http://doodle.com/dqk5ekvfvu6v7f2v> 2. IRB Training: Best Practices Protect Outreach Partners, Too In order to promote best practices - both regulatory and ethical -- for the protection of human subjects in research, as of April 2012, UT's Institutional Review Board (IRB)<http://research.utk.edu/humansubjects/> now requires every PI, Co-PI, Advisor and student listed on pertinent research applications to provide certification of training in Human Subjects Research. This training also has broader application for any other UT student, faculty, or staff member who is working with human partners. UT is also collaborating with the more in-depth Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) online training program<http://research.utk.edu/training/citi.shtml>. Both programs are free and available to anyone who is affiliated with UT. For more information, please send email to [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>. 3. Timothy Eatman and Scott Peters Named Imagining America Co-Directors Imagining America: Artists and Scholars in Public Life<http://imaginingamerica.org/> (IA) announce the appointments of Timothy K. Eatman and Scott J. Peters as IA co-directors, effective Aug. 1. "With Eatman and Peters as directors, IA will continue to advance the movement for engaged scholarship in higher education," says Bruce Burgett, chair of IA's National Advisory Board. A consortium of 90 colleges and universities from across the country, IA is the only national coalition working explicitly at the nexus of publicly engaged scholarship and the humanities, arts, and design. Current initiatives include projects aimed at transforming higher education tenure and promotion policies, assessment practices, and graduate and undergraduate education to cultivate publicly engaged scholarship; linking diversity and engagement efforts on campuses; and partnering with community-based arts, cultural and humanities organizations. Syracuse University is host to IA through 2017. More<http://imaginingamerica.org/blog/2012/08/14/timothy-eatman-and-scott-peters-named-imagining-america-co-directors/> CONFERENCES & PAPERS 4. Call for Proposals: Conference on Community-University Partnerships The Community University Exposition (CUExpo 2013) will be held June 12-15, 2013, in Newfoundland, Canada. Conference will be conducted in English, with typical attendance of 500. As engagement is the conference theme, proposals with a participatory element are strongly encouraged. Group submissions are encouraged. If the proposal is accepted all presenters and co-presenters agree to register and pay the conference fee (grants and subsidies may be available pending funding). Deadline: November 15, 2012 Details<http://www.cuexpo2013.ca/Pages/program.aspx> 5. Call for submissions: Global Journal of Community Psychology Practice (GJCCP) GJCCP is an e-journal for community practitioners in many fields, including community psychology, but also including community development, public health, community organizing and others. Articles are a mix of peer-reviewed (e.g., articles and tools) and non-peer-reviewed materials (e.g., submissions from section editors for videos, book reviews and interviews). Manuscripts are invited on a variety of topics related to the application of community practice in various settings. More<http://www.gjcpp.org/en/index.php> 6. Upcoming seminar: "Bridging Research and Reality" The translational gap between research and practice has long been discussed, often as a one-way street - get practitioners to recognize and utilize the research that is being conducted. While important, equally important is the reverse - integrating practice-based evidence and context into the research conducted. We need a bridge between the two, not a pipeline. The Research to Reality (R2R) September cyber-seminar will explore the need for, and the advances in, practice-based evidence and discuss the opportunities and future directions for the field. Hosted by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Cyber-seminar Date: September 11, 2012 Free Registration & Details<https://researchtoreality.cancer.gov/cyber-seminars> 7. IMPACT National Conference: February 2013 The IMPACT Conference is historically the largest annual conference focused on the civic engagement of college students in community service, service-learning, community-based research, advocacy and other forms of social action. IMPACT gathers together students, administrators, faculty, AmeriCorps members and VISTAs, and nonprofit professionals to learn and share effective practices, improve personal skills and organizational strategies, discover opportunities and resources, exchange stories, be inspired and challenged to sustain our efforts. Key Date: February 21-24, 2013 - University of New Mexico Details<http://www.impactconference.org/> FUNDING 8. Tribeca Film Institute Announces Guidelines for Documentary Fund The TFI Documentary Fund provides grants and guidance to exceptional filmmakers with character-driven, non-fiction works-in-progress that sit outside of the social issue landscape. By engaging in unexplored perspectives, the TFI Documentary Fund aims to take audiences into someone else's environment and spotlight the journey of the individual.

NSF Innovative Technology Experiences for Students and Teachers (ITEST) The ITEST program responds to current concerns and projections about the growing demand for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) and information and communications technology (ICT) professionals in the U.S. and seeks solutions to help ensure the breadth and depth of the STEM and ICT workforce. ITEST supports the development, implementation, evaluation, and scale-up of implementation models. It also supports robust research studies to address questions that point to solutions for building a strong, competent STEM workforce.

"Survival Strategy for Humanists: Engage, Engage" (Chronicle of Higher Education, August 5, 2012) A Georgetown professor suggests that humanities scholars might consider adopting "engaged humanism" as a professional identity so as to work more broadly within both larger academic as well as nonacademic publics. More<http://chronicle.com/article/Survival-Strategy-for/133309/> 11. Cultural Humility: People, Principles and Practices (30 minute video) Cultural Humility is used in public health, social work, education, and non-profit management, and assists in understanding hierarchical relationships, changing organizational policy and building relationships based on trust. The film mixes poetry, music, interviews, archival footage, images of community, nature and dance to describe a set of principles that guides the thinking, behavior and actions of individuals and institutions influencing interpersonal relationships as well as systems change. These principles include (1) Lifelong learning and critical self-reflection, (2) Recognition and change of power imbalances and (3) Institutional accountability.

How Action Research Can Help to Deliver Better Services (13 minute video) An IRISS storyboard (animated video) presentation explains what action research is and how it can help to improve public services. It uses the example of Cedar (Children experiencing domestic abuse recovery) to talk through how action research can be useful and offers some hints and tips for those thinking about undertaking action research themselves.
