*EPE 525/773* Special Topics Seminar: “Let’s See: Approaching the History of Education through Photographs” Thursdays, 12:30-3:00
Richard Angelo, Educational Policy Studies and Evaluation, College of Education
This seminar is open to beginning as well as advanced graduate students.
And because it is a “seminar,” the emphasis will be on original research. Alan Trachtenberg’s /Reading American Photographs: Images as History from Mathew Brady to Walker Evans /(1989) is an early and outstanding example of what has become a burgeoning literature. Using appropriate secondary works as guide and inspiration, students will explore a topic of their choice that bears on history of education in Kentucky. The only requirement (aside from the final paper) is that the topic be rooted in one way or another in the photographic collections at our disposal here on campus or on line. (For a sample, see the “Brief Photo Essay on the History of Education in KY” on the EPE website:

Attention EPE Students:
I have an exciting opportunity to get involved both on campus and in the EPE program. A group of students have expressed a desire to start a student a student group with social, networking and academic components.

The initial meeting will be, Tuesday, March 16, at the Mellow Mushroom, starting at noon. I know that many people who are interested may not be able to attend this first meeting due to Spring Break or work obligations, so if you're interested please feel free to contact me with times that may be better for meetings in the future.

Kudos to Dr. Neal Hutchens
EPE Professor Neal Hutchens has been awarded a Summer Faculty Research Fellowship by the Office of the Vice President for Research. With support from the fellowship, he will conduct a qualitative study exploring some of the implications of the growing reliance on full-time faculty members employed off the tenure track, a group that accounted for about one fifth of the faculty workforce in 2007. Specifically, the study will focus on the participants' insights and experiences in relation to their participation in institutional governance and issues related to academic freedom.

Regalia for PhD Candidates Graduating this May
Jen Skaggs reports from the UK Bookstore
For everyone who is participating in graduation for your PhD or EdD – here is the scoop on graduation regalia. This information is according to Jessica at the UK Bookstore who was extremely helpful.
To participate in graduation everyone must be wearing the UK Custom Robe – it's a dark blue robe with velvet, UK trimmings. You can view a model of this in the bookstore window. You cannot participate wearing a generic black doctoral robe.
There are two ways you can acquire this regalia:
You may purchase the robe. This purchase also includes the tam, hood and tassel. These pieces are yours to keep. The cost of purchasing is $701.00. The deadline for ordering a robe to purchase is March 15
You may also rent your regalia. When you rent your robe, you also rent your hood, tam, and tassel – but you may keep your tam and tassel and return the robe and hood to the bookstore by May 25th (I think – I'm not sure about that date – I know it's before the end of May.) If the robe & hood is not returned by the deadline – you obviously will have just bought it and your credit card will be charged accordingly. (They were very careful to point this out). The cost of rental is: $179.00. The deadline for reserving a rental is March 18
I also inquired about renting, but purchasing a custom hood (as the hood and hat are what signifies your institution). If you would like to purchase a hood (to keep) if you're renting – the cost is $120.00 for the hood. The deadline for ordering your hood is March 15
When you go to order, all money is expected up front if purchasing, and at the time of pick-up if renting. They will need some time to take measurements and fill out some paperwork when you go so plan accordingly. If you have any other questions – please contact the bookstore and they will be willing to help.
