An Evening of Experimental and Collaborative Research, Lovely!
Hosted by Fabulous Agitation and Teachers College, Columbia University
Fabulous Agitation* invites you to experience Knowledge Shots, performed during the 10th anniversary of the International Education Week at Teachers College, Columbia University.
Knowledge Shots is a platform for instant knowledge sharing, micro lecturing, experimental story telling, ad-hoc consultancy and brainstorming. We’ve gathered a group of experts in various fields to help participants approach research and projects from a new, another angle + cookies.
We’ll take over rooms 303 and 304 of the Gottesman Libraries on Wednesday, Nov. 18 between 7.30pm and 9.30pm. All are welcome to walk in and share your current research and projects with our experts. We’ll embark on a collective brainstorm, experiencing new ways of understanding and rejoicing in the wonders of instant association.
