We will explore DEI from several perspectives Basic, Applied and Translational Research: Connections, Collaboration and Community: We will discuss practices of interdisciplinarity and collaborative approaches to address societal and scientific challenges. Open Science - Opportunities and Challenges for the Research Enterprise: Open science promises to accelerate reproducibility and research, and promote efficiencies, exemplified by the ‘completely new culture of doing research’ in response to COVID-19. From endeavor to practice, we invite discussion on costs, emerging roles, technology, incentives, competitiveness, as well as policies and regulations. Rigor, Reproducibility, and Integrity in Research: Research is a human endeavor: with the usual characteristics of humanity, with its strengths and weaknesses. Solutions can come about through technological improvement, behavioral change and increased transparency: but they have to be ethical, community-led, and they have to be seen to be effective - by the research community, by funders, politicians and the general populace. + Online Campus Events

03:00PM 04:00PM Law Admissions Panel: Essays, Resumes, and Letters...Oh My! (featuring Northwestern, American, and University of Southern California Law): Department / Organization: Career CenterUniversity Event Topic: Career DevelopmentCost: FreeContact Name: Rodia VanceContact Email: rvance2@emory.eduLink: https://emory.joinhandshake.com/events/592934For better or for worse, the law school admissions process has a reputation for being very numbers-driven. "It's all about GPA and LSAT" is a common refrain. So, if that's true, why do law schools even bother asking for other information? Often referred to as "the softs" of an application, personal statements (and other optional essays), resumes, and letters of recommendation can make or break an applicant's chances of admission. Come hear from the Chief Admissions Officer at three popular law schools about why these pieces of the application are important and how applicants can maximize them. The Deans will also be sharing tips on how to avoid some of the most common faux pas they see applicants make in these parts of the application. You don't want to miss this important session. Come prepared to take notes! + Virtual Campus Events

To join listserv, email cmbc@emory.eduGroups adopt strikingly different attitudes and practices centered on how humans and other living beings relate to their environment. These bodies of traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) have been the focus of extensive research in ethnobiology. Understanding TEK is important both theoretically and for advancing political projects such as ecological conservation and cooperative resource management. However, attempts to integrate insights from TEK with scientific biological thought often misconstrue its content and function. Ethnobiology frequently represents TEK as a cultural module that can be cleanly separated from religious, symbolic, or mythic beliefs, rites and practices, and material culture. Drawing on case studies of Indigenous botanical and zoological TEK, I argue that knowledge of the natural world does not constitute a cultural domain that can be carved off and represented in isolation. This claim is bolstered by psychological studies of belief in ritual efficacy and causal explanations of natural phenomena. In everyday cognition, natural and “supernatural” ontologies are thoroughly entwined. I propose some heuristics for advancing piecemeal ontological coordination among Indigenous stakeholders, ethnobiologists, and conservationists. These heuristics aim at facilitating cooperation while preserving difference across systems of knowledge and value. + ZOOM Campus Events

The book challenges readers to linger in its interlocking nonlinear narratives and irresolution, as it braids haunting images of violence, family, changing rural landscapes, and interpersonal struggles. Our seminar features five sections co-lead by four Fellows, each of whom will bring their respective specialties in U.S. and international histories, poetics, and music to our community-based discussion.This seminar will be presented by the Fox Center’s 2020-2021 Postdoctoral Fellows: Martha Groppo, Byrd McDaniel, Julie Miller, and Nick Sturm.

The Zoom link will be sent via email in advance of the first session date. Complimentary copies of Cane will be available.
