MAGPI is pleased to bring you this exciting Advanced Networks and the Arts & Humanities Symposium event. The Symposium builds upon the success of the national Teaching and Learning with Internet2 Symposium which was held on April 1, 2011. The Arts & Humanities Symposium aims to reach humanities faculty, artists, and educators around delivery of arts and humanities education and experiences over advanced networks.

Advanced research and education networks, such as faculty, artists, non-profit cultural organization educators around the pedagogy and technology supporting delivering arts and Internet2, offer artists, educators, and faculty opportunities to connect to a diverse array of resources and to collaborate with partners around the world toward the delivery of unique arts and humanities education and live performances. Through a series of keynote and breakout sessions, this half-day symposium is designed to give faculty, artists, and educators a taste of the range of projects and resources that exist and how they can be applied in their own teaching, outreach, and production efforts.

Highlights of the symposium program include:

1 pm Keynote — Digital Repository Services at USC Shoah Foundation Institute

2 pm Breakout Session — Contemporary Dance and High Speed Networks: Gary Galbraith, Associate Professor of Dance, Dance Department Artistic Director Case Western Reserve University

3 pm Arts & Humanities — A Look to Europe and Beyond Claudio Allocchio, Senior Technical Director, Advanced Applications and Security GARR, Italy

2011-2012 Theme: Celebrity, Fame, and the Concept of Genius
