Abstract
A North Dakota University System Arts & Humanities summit has been set for Sept. 29 at the University of North Dakota that promises to bring outrage to all involved.
The 2016 “OUTRAGE” Summit will feature papers, presentations and projects to engage outrage through critical thought or performance. OUTRAGE Summit organizers have called for presenters to “flaunt civility, and to reflect seriously on why outrage matters for the arts and humanities today.”
The event is scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 29, and will take place at the UND Memorial Union.
"We are really excited to re-start the NDUS Arts and Humanities Summit with a conference on the theme of outrage,” said UND Associate Professor of History William Caraher, a co-organizer of the UND event. “Events around the world, across the state, and throughout the university system have generated so much outrage lately that rather than being a divisive, it has become strangely unifying.”
Richard Rothaus, NDUS interim vice chancellor for Academic and Student Affairs, said the summit was meant to engage faculty, staff, students and members of the public in outrage and what it means both personally and academically.
“North Dakota does not need emotionless artists. We need artists who burn with love, boil with rage, lose their temper, and embrace the sublime. North Dakota needs humanities that are human,” Rothaus said. “We need scholars who lose themselves in their work, decry the depths of human actions, and exalt the best we have to offer. Please join us for the 2016 NDUS Arts and Humanities Summit, and bring your OUTRAGE.”
The summit starts with breakfast at 7:30 a.m. Thursday on the second floor of the Memorial Union.
