Mapping MemoryThe French PhD Program at the CUNY Graduate Center invites papers from all disciplines that examine early modern, modern, and postmodern places of memory in French-language texts from a wide variety of perspectives: literature, theory, philosophy, gender, history, art history, film and media studies, sociology, economics, neuroscience, medicine, psychology, and psychoanalysis.
Annual ConferenceFriday, March 11th, 2016
CUNY – Graduate Center365 5th Ave, New York, NY 10016
Room 5409. CFP Deadline: February 15th, 2016
From St. Augustine’s “memory palace” to Derrida’s “archive fever,” a rich tradition of literary, critical, and philosophical thought has sought to localize memory while also questioning its limits and perfectibility.
In a historical moment where we are constantly confronted by destabilizing events of a new kind, we are faced with reconfiguring our responses to the unspeakable and our modes of personal and collective remembrance. These events generate an ever-changing devoir de mémoire.
The digital age, one of virtual memory and storage “clouds,” continues to transform and expand possible modes of material memory conservation. However, this exponential increase in traceability, and the renegotiation of the public and the private that it entails, provoke anxiety over the state of our human capacity to comprehend the immaterial and buried traces of our identity.
We invite participants to reflect upon the following questions: How do these disciplines inform a contemporary conversation around memory? How does the link between place and memory translate literarily, whether textually or artistically? How has our understanding of material representations of memory changed over time? What are the social, political, critical or historical implications of this change? How can we think about the localization of memory in a global context?
Below you will find a list of potential (although by no means exhaustive) themes:
− Places of memory within history and literature− The role of the Arts in preserving or creating memory− Gender theory approaches to memory− Memory & the self (personal trauma, nostalgia, collective historical memory)− Memory and modernity− Traumatic memory− Strategies and techniques of memorization− Post-human, digital memory and “droit à l’oubli”− The politics of memory: individual and collective lieux de mémoire, commemorationand “patrimonialisation” of the past, forgiveness.− The risk of forgetting: memory and colonialism and post-colonialism− Transparency and opacity: memory in global perspective
Presentations will be limited to 15-20 minutes in length and participation is limited to graduate students (MA and PhD). Abstracts and presentations may be in French or English. Please submit an abstract (300-400 words) with a brief bio before February 15th at this email address: [email protected]

Teaching in Blended Learning Environments
Dear Graduate Center Community:
Blended learning has become a critical part of teaching and learning in most American colleges and
universities. Increasingly it is becoming the modality of choice in mainstream higher education. If you
would like to learn more about blended learning, on Thursday, February 11, from 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm, the
PhD Program in Urban Education as part of its Career Night Series, will host a two-hour program
discussing the design and development of blending learning courses at the postsecondary level. Anthony
Picciano (Executive Officer, Urban Education) and Luke Waltzer (Director, Teaching and Learning
Center; Instructor, Interactive Technology and Pedagogy Certificate Program) will lead the discussion.
The underlying theme for the evening will be that sound pedagogical practice drives the technological
application of blended learning techniques. Audience interaction will be encouraged throughout the
discussion.
All faculty and students at the Graduate Center are welcome. However, we ask that you RSVP to
Christine Saieh at [email protected] so that refreshments could be ordered.

Applications are now open for the Communicating Science 2016 workshop (http://comscicon.com/apply-
comscicon16[comscicon.com]), to be held in Cambridge, MA on June 9-11th, 2016. Graduate students
at US institutions in all fields of science and engineering are encouraged to apply. The application will close on March 1st.
Acceptance to the workshop is competitive; attendance of the workshop is free and travel support will be provided to accepted applicants.

Communicating through Policy and Advocacy
Communicating through Creative Outlets and Storytelling
Communicating through Education and Outreach
Communicating with Diverse Audiences
In addition to these discussions, ample time is allotted for interacting with the experts and with attendees from throughout the country to discuss science communication and develop science outreach collaborations. Workshop participants will produce an original piece of science writing and receive
17
feedback from workshop attendees and professional science communicators, including journalists, authors, public policy advocates, educators, and more.
Founded in 2013 by graduate students at Harvard University and MIT, over 300 graduate students nationwide have already participated in ComSciCon programs. Attendees have founded new science communication organizations in collaboration with other students at the event, published over 50 articles written at the conference in popular publications with national impact, and formed lasting networks with our student alumni and invited experts.
You can visit http://comscicon.com/[comscicon.com] to submit an application or learn more about our
