[Yasmin_discussions] Announcing YASMIN Science for the People and for the Planet

Yasminers

This is Roger Malina , in Paris not far from the Mediterranean,
moderating the yasmin lists
this week.

As the calendar year comes to a close we wish everyone warmth

The YASMIN moderators are pleased to announce a January discussion on
the Yasmin Discussion list

http://estia.media.uoa.gr/yasmin/index.html

The discussion will be led by Alyce Santoro (http://alycesantoro.com/
), with a number of invited respondents. All Yasminers are
welcome to join in.

The discussion is tentatively titled: Science for the People and the Planet.

As is being discussed in the STEM to STEAM groups, one of the ideas
that feeds in is the idea
that Science itself needs redesigning. Both the scientific method and
the social embedding of science
need rethinking and re designing for the 21st century. In a context
that recognizes that the crisis of
the anthropocene.

Here is Alyce's intro for the discussion that will begin January 9th

Hi so many exciting developments in preparation for the discussion…I
can hardly wait for it to begin! Here's a quick introductory blurb:

The Science for the People (SftP) movement that began in the late
1960s as part of anti-war efforts, then dissipated in the late 1980s,
is now being revitalized. The original group, consisting mostly of
scientists, were dedicated to crafting a science that is ethical,
egalitarian, and cooperative, and were committed in their own work to
research that above all serves the health of humans and
the environment. The new incarnation includes scientists as well as
historians and theorists. As interdisciplinary, socially-conscious
practitioners, many of us may be asking ourselves similar questions
to those currently being raised within the context of SftP:
Are we responsible for examining our work from an ethical standpoint?
What ends/whom do our efforts serve?
Members of the original group and organizers in the current movement
are looking forward to joining us in a YASMIN discussion
on these questions and more, to begin on January 9.

Background on the history of the movement: http://science-for-the-people.org/
Information on current SftP activities: https://scienceforthepeople.org/about/

Looking forward,
Alyce Santoro
alycesantoro.com

Alyce Santoro is an intermedia conceptual/sound artist with a
background in biology and scientific illustration. Beginning her
career intending to make visible the invisible wonders of science and
nature, she quickly became interested in exploring the cultural
phenomenon that causes these fields to be viewed as separate, and in
the ways that social imaginaries form and can shift.

Santoro refers to many of her multimedia works as philosoprops –
devices intended to be used (or at least imagine being used) to
demonstrate a concept, catalyze an action, challenge perception, or
spark a dialog. The philosoprops offer subtle and sometimes
deceivingly playful critiques of the foibles of highly literal,
logical, objective, and compartmentalized thinking.

While a philosoprop may have a tangible component, the most important
part is the concept...which is freely and easily distributable.
Ownership of a philosoprop occurs if and when a person chooses to
adopt or embellish upon the idea; the artifacts are secondary.

Santoro's visual and sound pieces have appeared in over 50 exhibitions
internationally related to innovative textiles; experimental musical
scores; sound and listening; and social action and ecology. Her
written works have appeared in Leonardo Music Journal, the Center for
Sustainable Practice in the Arts Journal, Antennae, Waging
Nonviolence, and Truth-out. She is the author of Philosoprops: A
Unified Field Guide, a catalog of her work/an exegesis on the ways
that thought – and the phenomena that spark it – shapes culture.

Re: [Yasmin_discussions] Fwd: The importance of physics for humanists and historians | OUPblog

Dear Roger
Thank you for posting the very interesting article by James W Corrado sent to you by Paul.
Physics is such a basic study of the world that I have thought for many years that it's findings would illuminate many other areas of human enquiry.
Hope you are well. Forgive my not sending in the essay on my early work that we spoke of in Paris. I have been so busy and also write similar for Bronac's interdisciplinary revue. Did you perhaps see my interview with Barry Miles?
Warm wishes
Liliane

[Yasmin_discussions] ars electronica discussion

lorenzo

i wasnt at ars this year so i am hesitant to comment
on specifics- when ars was founded i was on many
of the first juries and worked closely with hannes
and christine

i dont know if anyone has looked at the history of ars
roger malina- oliver and wendy have a new book:

Museum and Archive on the Move
Changing Cultural Institutions in the Digital Era
English, DeGruyter, Munich September 2017
ISBN 978-3-11-052963-0 - 324 pp.

which maybe covers it- ars has had a huge influence
on the growth of our community or practice over the decades
championing the pioneers in emerging practice

like many organisations they have had to be agile as
the political and funding climates have changed- its a different
world than 30 years ago

the good news is that many sectors of society are now
paying attention to the work of our community- with conflicting
interests and directions

on the one hand the current that drives the argument
on innovation theory arguments and transfer of knowledge
and techiques to the commerncial sector

on the other hand the desire for how the arts,design and humanities
can not only critique but drive alternative approaches rather than
backing into the future ( i think of stiegler and ars industrialis for instance)

one of the arguments in the usa that disturbs me a bit, not sure why,
is the argument here that stem to steam can help attract more women
and non white professionals into the industry -as you know in the usa
not enought students go into science and technology so there is a brain
drain from other countries to silicon valley ( when the gender and diversity
of employees is not good)

i think the real problem is systemic and we should be teaching and using stem
areas differently- someone here said privately that maybe we can
use the arts 'to trap students' into going into stem careers- i was internally
scandalised by this remark as if science and engineering are so unpleasant
you have to trap students !!!


as i said i was not at ars this year but i know there was a yasmin get together
there

ars like all of our network of network organisations are navigating among
the various pressure groups and interests of funders- and its fantastic
that they have been able to navigate the unstable cultural environments
we live in

i hope people who were at ars this week will join the discussion
launched by lorenzo

roger

[Yasmin_discussions] DIGITALIFE

Hallo Yasminers
So, no interventions on Ars electronica.
It seems that discussing about the festival Ars Electronica is not attractive, but when we met in Linz there were about 15 people from the list, as Nina Czegledy wrote in her mail about the (very nice) meeting she organized.
Festivals are not the answer to many questions, i agree, but it's something that allow us to verify several things.
For instance how the art/science problem is seen at a public level, outside university courses and digital-research centers.
There is now a Festival just opened in Rome.
It's called "Digitalife", it's inside a wider festival, "RomaEuropa Festival" existing since many years and mostly dedicated to cross overs between theatre, performance, music and visual arts.
The "Digitalife" itself has been slowly growing in the past years as a small section of the fest and now is in a very central space, not far from Colosseo.
The language cross over is still central in the exhibition choices but there is a cicle of meetings with researchers organized by Prof. Massimo Bergamasco from the University of Pisa (supposed to be one of the most advanced universities in Italy for scientific research). The prof himself founded a laboratory of "Robotic perceptive" and last year did show a Robot made in the laboratory designed to help handicapped people.
Famous scientific reasearcher & Nobel prize Rita Levi Montalcini used to protest with government for scarce founding for research in Italy.
Nonetheless we have some bright people coming from University Jungles and producing ideas, like Arduino for instance.
The weight of the festival is very much on the visual languages and there are names well known to many: Dumb Type, Jean Michel Bruyère, Granular Synthesis, Robert Henke.
Anyway i always considered a false step the "Damnation Memoriae" of early techno art against the video languages.
The kinematic languages are still very central, more and more central in the technology universe.
The Futurist legacy in italian art has an interesting history as you know and pushes toward the merging of languages through technology.
If anyone will pass through Rome the Festival is open in "Palazzo delle Esposizioni" till the 7 January.
I hope to have interesting ideas to transmit from the meetings.

[Yasmin_discussions] the international controversies around the PhD in Art and Design

yasminers

As you will know PhDs in Art and Design are proliferating around the planet
with vary largely varying approaches- and there is much debate around
the rigor that is not always being used in the variety of programs

The editors for this 3 year Leonardo project are Ken Friedman and Jack Ox

They bring to our attention the first articles now available- with a call
for proposals for articles

Within the STEAM to STEM discussion a core issue is the very different
research and teaching techniques used in STEM as compared with Arts,
Design and Humanities.

Ken and Jack also in an introductory text overview the debates that are
ongoing and the serious issues involved

here is their announcement

we welcome yasminers thoughts and provocations !!

Roger Malina

[Yasmin_discussions] stem to steam; averting a tragedy of the internet

yasminers

one of the issues that has been coming up as the stem to steam discussion
moving forward is how to avert the developing 'tragedy of the internet' by
analogy with the 'tragedy of the commons"

eg see https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2012/05/the-tragedy-of-the-internet-commons/257290/

at the commoning charrette this last summer the group proposed a
number of strategies

http://patternsofcommoning.org/

one of the concepts is a 'gated commons' by analogy to the
agricultural land which had shared commons would have "gates)
for instance http://www.hopkinscattlegrids.co.uk/grids which would
led pedestrians into the commons but not cattle unless accompanied
by a human

( not the concept of patterning in commons development draws on
the work of chris alexander: https://www.patternlanguage.com/ )

our new arteca.mit.edu is using this pattern of commoning
to create a collaboration commons for the art science technology community

here is an area humanities scholars in stem to steam could play an active
role on how we avert the developing tragedy of the internet- steam ahead ?!

[Yasmin_discussions] HEAT rather than STEAM ?

>From scott Hartley

Dear Roger,


I do believe you might enjoy my book, THE FUZZY AND THE TECHIE: Why
the Liberal Arts Will Rule the Digital World at Leonardo. The book,
which was a Financial Times business book of the month, argues for the
Liberal Arts in addition to STEM.


Roger, I also wanted to share a piece that I think you and Yasminers will enjoy:

https://venturebeat.com/2017/09/30/dear-tech-world-stemism-is-hurting-us/



While we obsess over STEM and now STEAM, this article argues for HEAT,
which stands for Humanities, Engineering, Arts, and Technology. I
think this does a better job summing up the necessity for breadth
beyond only arts and tech.



All the best,

Scott

[Yasmin_discussions] Ars Electronica Festival

Hallo Yasminers
About last Ars Electronica.
The discussion on art and science goes on at Ars Electronica this year with two new elements: 1- Art Galleries (19) exposing digital art appear here and there between Europe and USA with the target of all the art galleries: expose and sell. This should quiet down the alarm of the art system about languages as economically unmanageable as old Conceptual/ Land art. The galleries create a strange neat White-Cube space even in the Sturm und Drang of dramatic and decayng spaces of the PostCity where the festival is.The choices made by the galleries go in all directions (good and bad). Objects citing digital realities,devices, gifs, compilations of digital video, video loops. The early perspectives of videoart seem to prefigure again the possibilities of new media. Famous videoart figures like Bill Viola have "bottled" their videos in compact flat screen framed in various dimensions. Sometimes the works are sold in little numbers (ten copies or even one). The same happens with digital works and Eduardo Kac shows etchings taken from his well known works on alterations of plants's DNA. So the Value of the work for sale in the gallery is both a symbolic trace of the original work and an object for sale. But New Media Art wanted direct action, going through and beyond symbols and create "realities". An its Mission was (Is?) ambitiously redefining the relationships between Humans & Body & Global Habitat. The presence of a gallery culture is anyway a new and intriguing point of discussion on our basic problems of Art & Science. Two symposia look from two different points on the problem. The first involves powerful art critics/curators Ulrich Obrist (Serpentine Gallery London) and Paul Dujardin. But while Obrist criticizes the possibilities of empathy of media art, Dujardin is much more open and involved. The second meeting was on showing documentations of works realised in wide public spaces by several artists. Christa Sommerer and Laurent Mignonneau is about Flies. "Lord of the Flies" was one of the ancient names for the Devil and their new works drive toward the dark side abandoning their old clearly drawn psycological landscape. Michael Sauter gets back to Oskar Schlemmer's like operations on light and shape with very good results.
The Kafka/Escher style Post City can contain litterally thousands of exposers (four thousands where the proposals arrived at the juries) and while last year it was an exciting experience, this energetic Blade Runner market this year looks still exciting but rather "too much". Too much in proposals, too much to see and cope with. "After the Glow" it comes the mass explosion of digital-related works. We feel the need of a different order and a different exibition structures. An interesting idea is the "Gluon Project" that reverses the usual pattern of "artist going in residence in a science space" to scientists invited to live and work in an art space with artists.
There would be much more to say, but i hope this may strike up a conversation on what is still the bigger exibition in digital art in Europe.

[Yasmin_discussions] STEAM theme for October's Digital Humanities Week

Fellow YASMINers,

Given the recent discussion on this list, I think you'll be interested to learn that the subject of the 2017 Digital Humanities Week is STEM To STEAM. The week includes 24 events spread over five days, including the keynote by some guy named Roger Malina who apparently knows something about the subject.

I'm hopeful this conference might be useful to some of you as a model to work from--either for its format (THATCamps are fun) or its pro-STEAM argument (Nobel laureates in the sciences are 17 times more likely to be painters than the average scientist).

Check out the website for more information, and feel free to email me off-list for questions--or on-list for critiques!

Digital Humanities Week
University of Maine at Orono
2-6 October 2017
http://DigitalHumanitiesWeek.org


What relevance do the arts and humanities play in a world whose swift transformation seems increasingly driven by science and technology? That's the theme of this year's Digital Humanities Week, a conference at the University of Maine during the first week of October whose events range from formal presentations by extraordinary speakers to ad hoc hackathons run by students.

A growing movement known as "STEM To STEAM" aims to interject the Arts into the STEM disciplines (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). This movement's radical premise is not simply that humanistic creators and scholars will benefit from access to digital tools, but that traditional STEM fields need the creativity and perspective of the arts and letters to improve their diversity, retention, and accountability.

This year, speakers from the University of Texas, MIT, Harvard, Dartmouth, and UCLA--as well as other UMaine campuses and Bowdoin and Colby colleges--will demonstrate or examine art-science collaborations that have produced groundbreaking scientific discoveries, from the use of DNA to store cultural data (the Library of Congress fits in a test tube) to audio microscopes (each microbe has its own signature sound). Other demonstrations include creating "Hypercities" by superimposing layers of historical data on an urban map; using a planetarium dome for data visualization or 3d sound; and building virtual museums to document local economies ("Blueberries, Clams, and Beer").

Founded at the University of Maine in 2011, the biennial Digital Humanities Weeks focus on the ways that new technologies are transforming arts and letters, history, and the social sciences. Other subthemes of this year's conference will include women and code, digital storytelling, copyright and fair use, and others related to technology and culture.

All events are free and open to the public, although the organizers request that you register on the website to ensure sufficient space for all and to target the workshops to participants' interests. To register or learn more, visit:

Re: [Yasmin_discussions] STEAM to STEM: the commons and open science movements, Ghent and Charles Babbage

Hello,
Just some points on this very interesting topics.
 

How art(s) could redesign science(s) ?
Or in the contrary ? Roger wrote about two directions. Opposite ?
 
Which is stem or steam ? Even if the idea is difficult to catch cause no translation in French, my native language.
 
In other terms, stem and steam could report to discipline and undiscipline or transdiscipline.
The first one is placed in a category, with its method and field, visible, institued, historical, proven, and the other is new, indeterminate, undistinguished, unnamed. This experimental situation is over a rational approach and could go under the reason to become a scientific field. With practical and theoretical construction. As a science.
 
But we can see the same movement in the evolution and transformation of the arts, and their history, disciplines, and of their opening or closure. The birth of new forms often owes to their link to other disciplines, imaginery, technics. The philosopher Theodor Adorno, in a conférence caled « The art and the arts » (1966) saw the creation as a call to alterity : real or symbolic. And the shapes coming from different materialities, and due to the work of the artist(s) on the material things. A very concrete work of art. That has nothing to do with an essence of the art, of each one, but that go both with the possibilities and capacities to tranform the matter(s).
 
Into these materialities, there is always the role, changing, of the technics and of the instruments. The technic designs the art, and art also means technic, refering to ancient greek. The maker or worker of art should also know about the instruments of its art, and the instruments, or technical objects, also evoluate.
 
 
The question seems to be : where must be the invention ? And who are the inventors ?
Few years ago, Roger proposed the topic of « artists as inventors ».
 
Artists and scientists as inventors in their field could be the base of a real and true research in all fields, in science as well in arts.
 
We have to rethink the question of technic, which was the one of Heidegger, as the birth of art.
But the problem that has understood Heidegger is that the evolution of modern technic was related to the progress of sciences.
All these evolutions and questions could go together. Maybe rethinking the history of arts and of sciences. And thanks to Leonardo to have been a pioneer to observe and to theorize all these intersections.
 
It is a beginning to approach stem to steam and vice-versa.
 
But another problem is to know enough about the huge activities of technologies in the digital age, cause a big part of the knowledge is even hidden - because included into the machines and its programms - to the savant, supposed to be a specialist. This is not really transparent and it can be a question of design, design of knowledge.
 
So who is the amateur ?
 
Stiegler would say that we are all becoming proletarian, and I would comment that the role of commons would to be in capacity to manage collective knowledge and intelligence.
 
Next event of the Entretiens du nouveau monde industriel organized by Stiegler  in Paris in december is about « artificial stupidity » ( # AI) : http://www.iri.centrepompidou.fr/actualites/enmi-2017/

yasminers

In an earlier yasmin discussion post I presented a provocation that we
need to think of stem to steam in the other direction or STEAM to
STEM- and specifically how the arts, design and humanities can work
with stem to redesign science itself, both the scientific method and
the way science is embedded in society.

At the risk of exciting Frieder Nake again with a meta level
discussion ( thanks frieder !)( i think there are practical things we
can work on here)- i thought i would expand on the redesign of the
societal contextualising of science. I referred for instance to Helga
Nowotny, former President of the European Research Council called for
development of a 'socially robust science', where the public was
actively engaged in the doing and decision making of science.

When I was working at the Berkeley Space Science Lab, a colleague of
mine was Dan Wertheimer who was part of the group that created the
"SETI at HOME" project, which triggered the vibrant and growing
citizen science and open science community- which I think is a clear
response to Jean Marc Levy Leblond call for the reinvention of the
'amateur'.( http://yasminlist.blogspot.fr/2017/07/yasmindiscussions-mediterranean.html
)

Levy-Leblond's advocacy of a new amateur connects to Bernard Stiegler
(http://revel.unice.fr/alliage/index.html?id=3272 ) who argued for the
term French term "amatorat' rather than 'amateur" to cover the whole
range of new engaged citizen activities from citizen science, to
hacker and maker culture, to patient and environmental monitoring
groups and in the US the STEM to STEAM movement. In a very real sense
the advocacy of a broadened concept of smart, STEM enabled, citizens
is one element of a response to Nowotny's call for socially robust
science (http://spp.oxfordjournals.org/content/30/3/151.abstract ).

What has triggered this email- on how the arts, design and humanities
can contribute to the redesign of scientific culture throughthe
growing "commons" movement ( see for instance what the city of Ghent
is doing) below and a recent workshop creating an urban commons. I
also attended a workshop co directed by David Bollier who is a leading
advocate of 'commoning" http://www.bollier.org/ - which rethinks the
early internet euphoria about connecting everyone to everyone in a
global village ( yes roy ascott, maybe the emerging planetary
consciousness is more like a planetary delirium..). The peer to peer,
open source, creative commons movements are alive and well and could
be part of a STEAM to STEM to redesign science itself ?

new research report shows that within the last 10 years, the city has
seen a ten-fold increase in local commons initiatives. The report
defines commons as any "shared resource, which is co-owned or
co-governed by a community of users and stakeholders, under the rules
and norms of that community."

With a population of less than 250,000, Ghent is sizably smaller than
the other, more well-known Sharing Cities such as Seoul and Barcelona.
But this report shows how it is quickly becoming a hub of some of the
most innovative urban commons projects that exist today.

The study was commissioned and financed by Ghent city officials who
were keen to understand how they could support more commons-based
initiatives in the future. It was conducted over a three-month period
in the spring of 2017. The research for the report was led by the P2P
Foundation's Michel Bauwens, in collaboration with Yurek Onzia and
Vasilis Niaros, and in partnership with Evi Swinnen and Timelab.

Given how self-governance is central to the success of a commons, the
primary methodology employed by the researchers was to meet and talk
with the members of various projects. Additionally, they conducted a
series of surveys, workshops, and interviews with Ghent residents to
explore how these projects came about and what could be done to
encourage more commons initiatives to emerge. One result of this
process is an online wiki that maps hundreds of successful such
projects in the region.

These are a few notable projects mentioned in the report that embody
the type of commons work currently underway in Ghent:

REScoop — Renewable energy cooperative

For a moderate sum, a resident can become a member of this green
energy cooperative to co-own and co-manage the enterprise. Not only is
this model more affordable for lower income residents, members can
share the efficiency of solar panels. For example, many members' roofs
may not be optimally located to get enough sunlight at all times of
the year. But with collective ownership, people can access and share
the available energy, whether or not their own home is collecting as
much solar power as other locations.

Buren van de abdij ("Neighbors of the abbey") — Neighborhood-managed
church building

A decade ago, the city gave the keys to a formerly abandoned church to
neighboring residents. Since then, the space has been turned it into a
thriving center for exhibitions, meetings, and other community events,
and it is entirely self-governed by the residents.

CLT Gent — Community land trust

Community land trusts (CLTs) are associations that develop and manage
land in order to keep housing or other types of properties affordable
and accessible to lower income populations. When the city of Ghent
develops housing, it dedicates a percentage of it to CLT Gent to
manage and oversee it.

NEST (Newly Established State of Temporality) — Former library
building turned into a temporary urban commons lab

The city made plans to renovate an old library. Instead of leaving the
building empty for the eight months leading up to its reconstruction,
officials decided to turn it into an experimental urban commons
project. Now, the space is a thriving community center with meeting
and event spaces, a music studio, children's play area, and more. Each
of the services and spaces are operated by different community
organizations and enterprises. They also have a contributory rent
arrangement, where organizations that are more participatory and
sustainable in their practice pay less rent. That means 20 percent of
the enterprises pay 60 percent of the rent, thereby subsidizing the
commons activities of the other spaces.

The strength of Ghent's commons can be traced to how the projects
encourage participation by individuals and community organizations to
steward the shared resource, according to lead researcher Bauwens.
There are a few factors that stand out among Ghent's various commons
projects. The first is that the projects' members invite residents to
openly contribute their time, skills, money, or goods, while at the
same time not requiring contributions by people to make use of the
resource. Secondly, these urban commons projects rely on some aspect
of their operation on "generative market forms" that can produce
income to sustain them. And finally, they also require support from
government agencies or nonprofits to help manage the resource.

Despite the plethora of commons projects that are there, however, the
commons-based economy is still relatively small. The report concludes
with a series of 23 proposals for actions the city could take to
support and strengthen the urban commons in Ghent. Much of the
recommendations are aimed at addressing the underlying problem that
the researchers identify — that the movement is very fragmented.

The local commons initiatives do not actively collaborate or cooperate
with one another. Bauwens noted that he saw members of commons
projects within the same domain not know of one other's commons
initiatives. That's why the report suggests the city set up alliances
and other opportunities for cooperation between individual commoners,
civil society organizations, the private sector, and agencies within
the government itself.

An innovative proposal is what one of the researchers, Swinnen, refers
to as a "call for commons." The idea emerged from the way the NEST
Experiment came about. Where major work is required to build a shared
space or resource — such as a new library or community space — heavy
institutional support is needed to carry forth the project. The idea
is that instead of having potential developers individually compete to
win the bid for the project to build it — as is the case in most
commercial-style development contracts — the project would be rewarded
to the strongest coalition of community partners and organizations.
And instead of giving it to one developer of one winning proposal,
this method enables several organizations to have all their winning
ideas realized in tandem. The coalition would have to prove its
ability to collaborate, share resources, and maximize community
benefit, all the while enabling the most public participation.

Commons as a School for Democracy

Bauwens says that with any commons project, urban or otherwise, there
are two major potential benefits of having people share and govern
over a common resource. The first is that it can reduce the
environmental and material footprint of that community. With any
physical commons, people can mutually share and provision its use.
Instead of having many people buy or own their own car or tools for
example, they can share it, leading to less of those goods having to
be produced or transported in the first place.

The second potential of the commons is that they can help build a true
democracy, or what Bauwens calls a "school for democracy." When people
have to govern something together, they need to make decisions
collectively and work together. The commons is where people can
practice and exercise their civic muscles by talking and meeting with
other members of their community face-to-face.

Hopefully, we will continue to see the people of Ghent build new urban
commons projects as fervently as they have done in the last 10 years.
With the additional support of their city government as proposed by
this report, Ghent could become one of the leading urban commons
capitals of the world.

Dear Friend,

The 115th Congress has been an exciting time for the Congressional
STEAM Caucus. We currently have 88 Members of Congress in the Caucus,
and dozens of stakeholders from the fields of education, arts,
science, industry, and entertainment who are excited about STEAM. We
have introduced and passed new legislation integrating STEAM
initiatives, convened briefings on Capitol Hill, and visited STEAM
programs and schools back in our home states.

In June, the House of Representatives passed the Strengthening Career
and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act to provide federal
support to programs that prepare students for in-demand careers and
success in higher education. Representatives Elise Stefanik and
Suzanne Bonamici successfully added an amendment that integrates arts
and design skills training into career and technical education (CTE)
programs. You can watch video of Representative Bonamici speaking
about the legislation here.

Following the passage of the CTE bill, the STEAM and CTE Caucus held a
joint briefing entitled STEAM and CTE: Adding "Art and Design" to STEM
Career and Technical Education. We were joined by panelists from Rhode
Island School of Design, GE Global Research, and representatives from
local public schools. This briefing highlighted how incorporating
STEAM into CTE programs will help us develop a strong education to
career pipeline.

Representatives Langevin, Bonamici, and Stefanik also introduced the
STEM to STEAM Act of 2017, which would integrate art and design into
STEM by leveraging resources at the National Science Foundation to
research and develop effective STEAM education programs that promote
creativity and innovation.

You can view updates from STEAM Caucus members and read more about
STEAM initiatives around the country below. If you would like an event
or article highlighted in the upcoming October monthly newsletter,
please send content to us at Lakeisha.Steele@mail.house.gov or
Patrick.Hester@mail.house.gov.

Sincerely,

Lakeisha Steele Patrick Hester

Rep. Suzanne Bonamici Rep. Elise Stefanik

Touring Portland Community College's Innovative STEAM LAB

Representative Bonamici visited Portland Community College's Rock
Creek Campus to tour the new STEAM Lab and MakerSpace. MakersSpaces,
including Rock Creek's STEAM Lab, give students the opportunity to
incorporate the arts into STEM using innovative tools and technologies
like 3D printers and computer hardware. You can view a tweet from
Representative Bonamici's visit here.

Olin College's New STEAM Initiative

Olin College received significant grant funding to integrate the arts
into STEM education. The grant comes from The Andrew W. Mellon
Foundation. You can read about the initiative here.

Visiting SUNY Potsdam Theatre Students

Representative Stefanik visited with SUNY Potsdam students in the
green room before their performance.

Re: [Yasmin_discussions] STEMM + Art + Humanities in higher education

Nina! You've been on my mind, and I wonder when our paths will cross again. I'm so happy to see this message go out, because I'm now teaching in medical humanities to pre-med students as well as Artists. You and I have so much to talk about, and I miss our conversations! Perhaps our next rendezvous will be in hungry? I may even try to get back to Canada for Christmas. Are you going to be in Toronto during that time?

arts and humanities?(U.S. or International)
- What do the students, artists, and humanists gain from this
integration?
- Are you aware of any programs or courses that have been evaluated,
either qualitatively or quantitatively toward these ends?
- Regarding established transdisciplinary fields like STS, bioethics,
and the digital humanities. Is anyone aware of any evidence that speaks to
the impact of these fields on students?

Please send all information in the form of Word or PDF documents to me
directly by September 29, 2017 to: pljenn@gmail.com .
