Each semester that they are enrolled, fulltime and halftime students in the Master of Arts Program attend two weekend colloquia at Prescott College. Each colloquium begins on Friday morning and ends on Sunday afternoon. The first weekend colloquium signals the beginning of the semester and the second occurs two-thirds of the way through the semester.
At MAP colloquia, students and faculty from diverse cultures and different areas of study and expertise come together to share their work and build a community of spirited and caring co-learners. One purpose of the colloquia is to provide close interactive peer learning and dialogue, and thereby reduce the isolation of the adult independent learner.
Colloquia include extended conferences between students and their graduate advisors; presentations by students of their work-in-progress; discipline-specific workshops by faculty; brainstorming and networking sessions; panel discussions; and interdisciplinary seminars that supplement and cross the lines of individual learning programs. Colloquia also include workshops that address the nuts and bolts of MAP, such as the qualifying packet, thesis plan, thesis, and social and ecological literacies. Resource faculty are also available for consultation, including the librarians and members of the MAP core faculty.
The schedule for our upcoming colloquium is posted here.
An archive of past colloquia can be found here.
The Call for Presentations (CFP) for students and advisors is available here.
