Dear colleagues, students, and friends,
Join us for the 2025 MIT GHI 5th Forum! This session introduces the GHI Pillar Public Literacies: Civic Systems, Media & Emotional Intelligence, in particular two projects AI Tools for Democracy & Self Awareness and Changing the Game of Diplomatic Hegemonies: Games Against Oppression. This session aims to set the stage for ongoing and upcoming project activities tied to this pillar by offering insights regarding the unique possibilities afforded by procedural and systemic media to engage participants in intellectual discourse around complex and volatile issues through conflict simulations, negotiation games, and powerful artistic statements of peaceful resolution through cultural exchange.
5th GHI Forum
- Title: Public Literacies: Civic Systems, Media & Emotional Intelligence
- Date: Dec 12, 2025, 10:00–11:30 AM EST
- Where: Online (Zoom Registration Link: HERE)
- Speakers: Mikael Jakobsson (host), Lana Cook, Richard Eberhardt, Gabor Hollbeck, Rilla Khaled
- Special Guests: Sherria Ayuandini, Greg Loring-Albright
【Abstract】
Any grand scale attempt at shaping the future of public literacies has to take the role of procedural and generative systems seriously. Technological innovation and advances without ethical and sustainable grounding threatens a dystopian future that only the grounded wisdom of the arts, humanities, and social sciences can overcome. Gabor Hollbeck will introduce the AI Tools for Democracy & Self Awareness project which explores a new form of playful interactive learning game aiming to teach emotional intelligence by simulating interpersonal conflicts with AI. The project brings together game design, political cause areas and AI engagement together to strengthen societal cohesion. We will also hear from Lana Cook, co-director of the MIT Systems Awareness Lab before we finish with a panel discussion about the role of games in challenging diplomatic hegemonies. Just as the “Changing the Game” project centers community building for engagement and education, the objective of this panel is to share insights from studying and making this new kind of games, as well as to establish and strengthen ties between academics and practitioners interested in these issues.
Looking forward to seeing you at our events!

ISHMap Prize for Projects in Map History 2026 *deadline approaching* [Announcement]
The International Society for the History of the Map (ISHMap) is pleased to invite nominations and self-nominations for its Prize for Projects in Map History.
The ISHMap Prize in for Projects in Map History, awarded every two years and presented at the ISHMap General Assembly, will recognize a project that explores the history of maps and mapping outside of the format of an academic paper, book, or edited collection in a way that increases accessibility and engagement with maps and map history through innovative presentations. The prize will uplift projects that seek to expand the subjects, audience, scope, and/or methodology of engaging with the history of maps and mapping. Projects can take many forms including, but in no way limited to, physical exhibitions, datasets, online exhibitions, multimedia projects such as podcasts and films, thematic maps, games, and digital products.
The prize, to be announced at the Society’s General Meeting during the ICHC in July 2026, will consider projects that debuted or were substantively updated in 2024 and 2025.
Please use this submission form to apply.
Deadline for nominations and self-nominations is December 31, 2025.

Deadline Approaching: Consortium Fellowships
The Consortium for History of Science, Technology and Medicine invites applications for multiple fellowship opportunities in the history of science, technology or medicine, broadly construed. Fellows enjoy access to the archives and collections of Consortium member institutions as well as seminars and other programs dedicated to promoting scholarship.
Emanuel Fellowships for Independent Scholars
Emanuel Fellows will be awarded a stipend between $10,000 to $30,000 to be used for research in archives, oral history, or other research methods, travel for research, or time to write up research findings for an article, book, or other scholarly contributions in various formats or media. The stipend can also be used as income and salary support to provide time to conduct scholarship. Applicants must have received a Ph.D. or equivalent degree at least two years before the time of application, and may NOT be in a tenured or tenure track faculty position at a university or college nor enrolled as a student in any program of higher education. Scholars are eligible if they are independent or alternative academic scholars, meaning they have positions that do not have research expectations or offer institutional support for research in their area of expertise. They can be adjunct faculty, lecturers (if there is no research expectation), or unaffiliated with an educational institution. Applicants must be permanent residents or citizens of the United States. The Emanuel Fellowship may not be held concurrently with any position that would violate eligibility for applying as described above.
Research Fellowships
Research Fellowships are for scholars who would like to conduct research in the collections of two or more Consortium member institutions. Research Fellows will be awarded a stipend of $1,000 plus $750 for use of each collection, $425 if the collection is less than 100 miles from another collection for which a stipend has already been awarded. Fellows typically receive between $2,500 and $5,000 depending on number and locations of collections used. Scholars at any stage of their academic career are eligible to apply. There is no citizenship or residence requirement for this fellowship.
For more information and to apply, please visit our fellowships page.
Applications must be submitted online by December 15.
