The HSI Education Grants Program, under assistance listing number 10.223, will promote and strengthen the ability HSIs to carry out education, applied research, and related community development programs.
Join us for the first salon of AMPLE: Advancing Multimodal / Multimedia Perspectives in Literacy Education, a new Learning Futures Collaborative focused on how teaching and learning can evolve in a media-filled world.
AMPLE brings together people who teach, study or make meaning with words, images and design and who see literacy as part of how people read the world in their lives.
There is widespread concern about AI’s impact on people’s lives, jobs, and communities. This public anxiety is rooted in the question of who gets a say in how AI is built, governed, and used to ensure that it works for the common good.
We are looking for efforts where communities — from workers to artists to students and educators — are setting the agenda, not just informing it. Through this call, we are open to, and actively seeking, applicants who have not typically seen themselves as playing a role in shaping the impact of AI, whether for themselves or others.
