Selected participants will be notified in early September.
Please note: Travel expenses to campus cannot be reimbursed at this time.
Library Book Talks
In collaboration with Bowes Art & Architecture Library, we are seeking three alums to present on an in-progress or recently published book or article. Whether your work is scholarly, artistic, or experimental, we welcome diverse approaches and voices for our book talk event. Each presenter will give a 10-minute talk, followed by a 5-minute Q&A discussion. Talks will be held in-person from 10:30–11:30am.
Documentary Film Screenings
The MFA Documentary Film & Video Program is accepting submissions for two screening events:
Shorts Screening: A selection of 1-2 short films from department alums, each no longer than 20–25 minutes, followed by a brief Q&A discussion. This screening will likely be held from 1-2pm.
Feature Screening: One feature-length documentary film, between 60–90 minutes, followed by a brief Q&A discussion. This screening will likely be held from 3:30-5:30pm.
