WEBINAR: Exploring Role Identity Across Learning Environments (Sept 25, 2025) [Announcement]

Date: Thursday, September 25, 2025
Time: 12:00 – 3:30 p.m. ET
Location: Online via Zoom
FREE Registration:https://www.eventbrite.com/e/exploring-role-identity-across-learning-environments-new-perspectives-tickets-1623414007999
Program Description: Since 1995, the Lemelson Center’s annual symposium series, New Perspectives on Invention and Innovation, has brought together scholars, educators, and practitioners for cross disciplinary dialogue at the intersection of history, innovation, and social change. The 2025 symposium focuses on role identity — how individuals construct, evolve, and express who they are across different life domains — and examines the narratives, contexts, and forces that shape identity exploration in classrooms, museums, and cultural institutions. In this online symposium, a distinguished group of historians, educators, psychologists, and museum professionals will:
- Connect theoretical models, like the Dynamic Systems Model of Role Identity (DSMRI), to practical applications in educational and cultural settings.
- Highlight case studies where identity work fosters belonging, agency, and community engagement.
- Provide attendees with tools, frameworks, and strategies to apply in their own learning environments.

CFP for International Congress on Medieval Studies: Session on Medieval Fights, Brawls, Housebreaking and Injury [Announcement]
MI
United States
This call is for the panel on Medieval Brawls, Fights, Housebreaking, and Injury. The conference is the International Congress on Medieval Studies at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, MI on May 14-16, 2026.
As Carole Rawcliffe astutely points out, the Middle Ages are not nearly as dirty as the Victorians led the world to believe. Over the last decade, we have realized that medieval people were resourceful and enjoyed being clean. They worked for better roads, cleaner streets, and public healthcare. Yet, like today, there were still times when neighbors argued, perhaps even fought. Certainly there were people who did bad things -- stealing from, killing, raping, or injuring their neighbors. This group of papers will take up a conversation around medieval brawls and fights and the injuries sustained in the process.

Application deadlines: March 31, June 30 and October 31
