From our : “the Digital International Creative Arts Therapies Symposium (DICATS) is a unique 24-hour multi-site, web-based peer-reviewed symposium. DICATS aims to bring together practitioners in the fields of arts and arts therapies around the world to learn about usages of digital devices, new media, and immersive tools for therapeutic and educational interventions. DICATS will expand existing arts therapies’ education and therapy practices, showcase innovative work, and promote interdisciplinary collaborations and conversations across the globe.”

We have shared in a following table the local times that each Symposium Hive will start and end and provide a visual overview of the timeline of how it is moving around the world. You can choose to participate in what you can or have interest for, or you can stay with us throughout the whole symposium!

Note: Please do this ASAP as it will build energy and critical mass for our YouTube channel. You will not need to pay anything to watch and participate in the symposium the day of the event but we need you to be a subscriber to the channel to tune in!

Visit , then go to the Philadelphia Hive program page. Use Program Tab for Info: Philadelphia: Under Hands of Midnight: Look for Names (Shawn Trenell O’Neal etc.). Use Attend Tab to Link on to YouTube Site for Performance.

Additionally, we will be providing hashtags for each Hive site so that localized, active, and at-a-distance participation can become real time elements shared via social media sites on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Before the event and the ‘day of’ you may tune into these social media sites to receive, create, and share response art, and send your commentary and/or questions with symposium participants, Hive teams, and other audience members.

As shared previously, there will be immersive experiences possible during this symposium as some presentations, videos, and live content will be utilizing 360 photography and virtual reality (VR) immersive technologies. If you do not already use or own VR equipment, there are cheap to more expensive options available in VR equipment and you can contact our team for suggestions. On the day of the symposium, you can experience this symposium either with or without VR googles because their use is not necessary to experience the symposium. The bare minimum equipment you need are an Internet connection (preferably Ethernet and stable broad width) to access to our You tube channel and a tablet, laptop or desktop computer to watch and listen with.

The break up of the Soviet Union, the precarious status of nation-states in parts of Africa and Asia, the rise of multiculturalism in the United States, the acceleration of economic globalization and other related events of the 1980s and 1990s have prompted scholars to explore, in ways they had not before, both the power and fragility of nations and national identities. A fascinating interdisciplinary literature has emerged on how nations form, how nationalisms acquire and lost power, how national identity shapes (and is shaped by) identities grounded in region, race, ethnicity, and gender. This course will examine this literature, with a particular emphasis on sport. This course will examine how the media, race, gender, sexuality, and economics made the world of sport we see today. This course explores the athlete in a global context. The course will not be an exercise in sport history. This course will use sport, and the many documents surrounding the games, to gain a better understanding of how athletes became a symbol of nationhood, and how they are influenced by, and themselves influence, other aspects of society, including social, political, and economic aspects of their society. All of this will be examined in Lima, Peru. Lima will host the 2019 Pan American Games, and the opening ceremony as well as several sporting venues will be our classroom.

Knowing the Land: Indigenous Strategies for Revitalization and Adaptation

Clint Carroll, Assistant Professor, Ethnic Studies, University of Colorado-Boulder

Location: Sustainability, Energy and Environment Complex (SEEC), N124 4001 Discovery Drive, Boulder CO, CU-Boulder

Date and time: Wednesday, September 5th, 2018 at 3:30 pm

This talk will address challenges that Indigenous Nations face regarding the interrelated processes of cultural knowledge revitalization and environmental adaptation. For example, how can methods for transmitting traditional knowledge and the management of local resources adapt to radically different social and environmental circumstances? How can tribal elders effectively communicate their knowledge and perspectives on pressing issues like the preservation of medicinal plants to tribal officials, youth, and the general tribal population? Based on my past and current work with Cherokee people in Oklahoma, I will explore possible strategies for overcoming such challenges, as well as current and future research endeavors that further seek to address political-ecological issues in the Cherokee Nation.

3:15 p.m. – 3:30 p.m. Reception with light refreshments, N124
3:30 p.m. – 4:30 p.m., Lecture and Q&A, N124
