Monday, Feb. 18
12 p.m., Davidson Room, Memorial Center – Non-Org: Pennie Gray – Assistant Professor of Educational Studies Pennie Gray will share preliminary findings of her research examining first-year teachers' decision-making process about classroom management systems. Funded by an Artistic and Scholarly Development grant, Gray visited the classrooms of 16 elementary school teachers during the first three months of their first year of teaching. Through semi-scripted interviews, she explored the ways first-year teachers navigated competing expectations of appropriate classroom management systems. In particular, she is researching the phenomenon known as the apprenticeship of observation: the tendency of teachers to enact pedagogies that reflect their own educational experiences as schoolchildren rather than the pedagogies espoused by their teacher preparation programs. Gray will share emerging data trends, with time for questions and input.
4 p.m., 102, State Farm Hall – GRS Ides Lecture: Dramatic Encounters: Staging Religious Ritual in Mid-Republican Rome –The 3rd century BCE witnessed the introduction of dramatic performance at Rome, closely connected with the city's religious festivals: plays were performed during festivals, sometimes in temple precincts, to honor the gods. The relationship between religion and theater was not one-way; an increasing theatricality can be seen in ritual and architectural development of the city's temples. Guest speaker Daniel P. Diffendale, research fellow in the Department of Ancient Mediterranean Studies at the University of Missouri, will discuss this potential interplay at the temples of Mater Matuta and Fortuna in the center of Rome, scene of the performance of the Matralia festival. Sponsored by Greek and Roman Studies.
