SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Democratically Engaged Assessment\, Part One: Reimagining Assessment for Public Scholarship
DESCRIPTION:Assessment.  The word sends shivers up the spine of even the most experienced scholars.  Assessment is one of the most challenging\, fraught\, and effective endeavors that we deal with as public scholars\, community engagement professionals\, and change agents.  But does assessment have to be so stressful?  So inauthentic?  Devoid of values?  The quick answer: no! \n\nAssessment can be so much more than ticking boxes\, taking surveys\, and statistics.  It can be dynamic\, engaging\, authentic\, and reaffirming.  In this workshop\, we will help participants reimagine their relationship with assessment and develop ways of centering an equity-based\, inclusive\, democratic assessment process in their work.  These workshops will guide participants through a series of activities to reimagine their assessment work using the framework of democratically-engaged assessment (DEA) as a lens.  Following a conceptual introduction and initial engagement with the framework\, participants will examine their assessment practices and develop an action plan for their own work in a specific arena. Reflective exercises and collaborative activities will help participants surface their assumptions about the role of values in assessment\, the values they enact through their assessment\, tension points that arise across phases of assessment\, and opportunities to negotiate tensions through the lens of DEA.  In keeping with the tenets of the framework\, participants will not only enhance their own work\, but also will contribute to the ongoing and co-creative development of the DEA framework itself.Part 1: Reimagining Assessment for Public Scholarship\nIntention: This workshop will cover the basics of assessment\, bust some myths\, introduce some framings and tools\, and explore examples of the spectrum of assessment.Part 2: From Theory to Practice—Build a Plan and Make It YoursNOTE: This session has a separate registration\, please register for Part 2 here.Audience: This workshop is an ideal space for those who have a project\, an idea\, or an inkling of an idea that they want to develop into reality and plan how to assess it.Participants may choose to attend one or both sessions\, depending on their interests and needs.Bios:Julia Metzker serves as director of the Washington Center for Improving Undergraduate Education at the Evergreen State College. Julia received her first degree from the Evergreen State College\, where she learned first-hand the value of a transformative liberal arts education. She obtained a doctoral degree in inorganic chemistry from the University of Arizona and completed a postdoctoral appointment at the University of York in the United Kingdom. In her 10 years as a chemistry professor at Georgia College\, she discovered the power of community-based learning to engage students in learning that matters. After serving as the inaugural director of community-based engaged learning at Georgia College she moved to Stetson University as the founding executive director for the Brown Center for Faculty Innovation and Excellence. During her journey of discovering herself as an educator\, she was fortunate to find a cohort of like-minded university educators who co-founded the Innovative Course-building Group—a grass-roots social network for learning that supports teaching faculty and staff across disciplines. She believes in reimagining and reclaiming the democratic potential of assessment\, work she champions as a member of Imagining America's Assessing the Practices of Public Scholarship (APPS) research group. She and her partner\, Joe\, raise chickens and bees in the Pacific Northwest.\nSarah Stanlick is an assistant professor in the Department of Integrative and Global Studies and the director of the Great Problems Seminar at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI). She is also responsible for the delivery and support of global project-based learning through the Global Projects Program\, and teaches social science research methods for students of all backgrounds and majors in preparation for the interactive qualifying project\, a seven-week project with external sponsors. Her commitment to transformative and inclusive learning that engages students as active agents includes her regular participation in faculty learning communities at WPI and collaborative work to advance the integration of open educational resources and open pedagogical practices across the WPI curriculum. In addition to co-chairing the APPS collective with Julia\, she serves as one of the co-directors of the Community-Based Global Learning Collaborative. Her priority for teaching\, research\, and service is to encourage and model engaged\, active citizenship and help create conditions for all community members to be able to similarly engage.  She splits time between Worcester and Hellertown\, Pennsylvania (where her partner Michael works and lives with their spicy cat Miikka) and is an avid gardener\, yoga practitioner\, cook\, and ice hockey fan.This session is sponsored by Rackham’s Mellon Public Engagement and the Humanities program\, and is open to all students on campus interested in the topic.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Dissertation Defense: A Polytopal Decomposition of Strata of Translation Surfaces
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: A closed surface can be endowed with a certain locally Euclidean metric structure called a translation surface. Moduli spaces that parametrize such structures are called strata\, and there is still much to discover of their global topology. These strata admit a decomposition into finitely many polytopal regions parametrized by certain triangulations of translation surfaces (L-infinity Delaunay triangulations). These regions intersect each other in pathological ways (the \"infinite adjacency phenomenon\")\, but we resolve these pathologies to obtain finite simplicial models for strata. Our methods also show that there is an induced polytopal decomposition on subvarieties of strata called Teichmüller curves.\n\nHYBRID Defense: \nIn person: 2058 East Hall Psych Conference Room\n\nZoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/95915733517?pwd=NjZ1NVB4WnYwMjBrazA1NnB5TFNsQT09
