Fall 2020 ATS Town Hall Meetings and Reading Groups

ATS TOWN HALLS
ATS town halls are a public forum where faculty, staff, students, alumni and other ATS community members are welcome to voice questions, comments or concerns pertaining to the department. These (virtual) meetings act as a direct line of communication in and among the community and also act as an arm of the accountability where the department will be expected to communicate updates/responses to issues that are raised during these meetings.

Virtual Lunch meetings 12:15-1:15pm
September: Tuesday, 9/29
October: Tuesday, 10/27
November/December: Tuesday 12/1
To submit a question, comment, or topic suggestion for the upcoming town hall fill out this

ATS Reading Group
A suggestion that arose from the discussion following the last town hall is an ATS reading/discussion group that focuses on topics of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Anyone is welcome to join the group which will meet monthly.

Inspired by the group Complex Movement’s work Beware of the Dandelions, readings and discussions here are meant to merge into a network of conversations and shared readings both on and off campus. For the September meeting, we would like to read and discuss chapter 3 of Teaching to Transgress which is also being read and discussed in Contemporary Practices. If you would like to join the reading group please join us by filling out this RSVP

Virtual Lunch Meetings: 12:15-1:15pm
