Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University (co-participant organization) worked on this scientific project during 2018-2021. \nBased on the research\, a special issue of the international peer-reviewed journal Caucasus Survey was published this year – Rethinking Memory Sites and Symbolic Realms of Georgian National Identity. Also\, a Georgian language collection of the same works is being prepared for publication at Ilia State University Publishing House. \nEach work included in the special issue and collection is placed in a common interdisciplinary framework and complements each other. The authors consider the memory places discussed by them as integral and interconnected structural elements of the Georgian complex symbolic environment. Consequently\, there are many points of contact and intersection between separate works in terms of research issues\, concepts and theoretical approaches\, which presented an interesting picture of the relationship between Georgian historical knowledge\, collective memory and national identity. \nThe conference program is available at: https://bit.ly/3nUDY2B \nThe meeting will be held remotely\, in an online format\, through the program Zoom and you can attend it at the address: https://bit.ly/3BA4Tp8 \nAlso\, live broadcast will be provided on the official Facebook page of Ilia State University\, at the address: https:www.facebook.com/Iliauni \nAbout Researches \nThe research highlights the turning points of the emergence and dynamics of modern Georgian nationalism from the second half of the 19th century to the present day. The genealogical perspective allows us to observe the stages of formation of the collective memory of the Georgian society\, in the context of different political conjunctures: \n\nDuring the period of Russian Imperial rule in Georgia\, at the same time during the Georgian nationalism (from the second half of the 19th century);\nIn the short period of construction of the First Republic\, the Nation State ( 1918-1921);\nIn the area of radical and often traumatic transformations of the Soviet period (1921-1991) and finally\,\nIn the post-Soviet era\, when a comprehensive process of collective memory\, another\, fundamental reconfiguration began.\n\nSpecifically\, the authors and speakers focused on the most important places of the memory that contribute to the historical consciousness and collective memory of the Georgian society\, including: Ilia Chavchavadze as a symbolic figure and place of memory; \n\nMtatsminda Pantheon of Georgian writers and public figures;\nStalin monuments as places of conflicting memory;\nSymbolic area of Tbilisi as a Georgian national identity and cultural memory;\nNarrative between David IV the builder and battle of Didgori\, as a source of historical ideas about the territorial integrity of Georgia;\nConstruction of the national identity and memory places for Georgian Migrants in the United States and Germany.\n\nTime: November 5\, 18:00 – 20:30 p.m. \nFormat: Remote\, Zoom platform at https://bit.ly/3BA4Tp8 \n2021 \n  \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n[wpai_display_imported_files_here] URL:https://events.iliauni.edu.ge/event/scientific-reporting-conference-memory-places-and-the-symbolic-environment-of-georgian-national-identity/ CATEGORIES:Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://events.iliauni.edu.ge/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/62725.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Dubai:20211112T122500 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Dubai:20211112T122500 DTSTAMP:20260429T123214 CREATED:20211112T082400Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240202T091903Z UID:10000477-1636719900-1636719900@events.iliauni.edu.ge SUMMARY:2022 Hybrid Conference: From Research to Practice DESCRIPTION:What can we do to help ensure that sound pedagogical research informs our teaching? What can we do to foster the flow of information in both directions—from classroom practice back to formulating new research questions and generating data to test what we think we “know”? And what directions should new research take to best serve our students and teaching staff in their day-to-day work? In other words\, how can 21st-century research continue to improve teaching and learning? \nThese questions underlie the theme of the 2022 IUT conference: “From Research to Practice.” \nIn many universities today there is still a gap between the two. Traditional forms of teaching\, including the much-maligned lecture\, have demonstrated remarkable resiliency\, while innovative practices\, such as flipped classrooms and extended student discussions\, have often faced resistance from both teachers and students. These and other challenges have increased with the pandemic\, which has transformed classroom teaching in unpredictable and often negative ways. \nOver three days we will explore the links between research and teaching in the hopes of providing some answers to the questions posed above. Given the continuing uncertainties of the COVID pandemic\, however\, the format of IUT 2022 remains fluid. Our strong hope is to meet in person in Tbilisi\, the capital of Georgia\, where the Ilia State University is ready and eager to host our 2022 meeting. We recognize that COVID-related travel policies remain fluid and inconsistent across regions. Therefore we remain flexible in our choice of format. If emergent conditions prevent an in-person conference\, we will return to the live\, 72-hour format successfully used in 2020 and 2021. If we are able to gather in Tbilisi\, we will adopt a hybrid format\, which will allow remote participation from delegates who are unable to journey to Georgia. \nWhatever the final format—hybrid or remote—we hope that you will join us in July\, 2022 for what promises to be another inspiring and useful IUT global conference. \nSubmit Proposal Here \n2021 \n  \n  \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n[wpai_display_imported_files_here] URL:https://events.iliauni.edu.ge/event/2022-hybrid-conference-from-research-to-practice/ CATEGORIES:Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://events.iliauni.edu.ge/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/62508.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Dubai:20211113T160000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Dubai:20211113T160000 DTSTAMP:20260429T123214 CREATED:20211105T104900Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240202T091859Z UID:10000475-1636819200-1636819200@events.iliauni.edu.ge SUMMARY:Public lecture by a U.S. federal judge\, Virginia Covington DESCRIPTION:On November 13\, at 4:00 pm\, Ilia State University School of Law School of Human Rights\, in partnership with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Program to Support of the Rule of Law in Georgia (PROLoG)\, invites you to a public lecture by US Federal Judge Virginia Covington. \nThe lecture will be held in a hybrid format and can be attended both in the physical space and remotely through the platform zoom. \nThose wishing to attend the lecture in any format are required to pre-register online no later than November 11 this year (23:59). \nRegistration is available through this link: https://tinyurl.com/3mh2v5fh \nPlease note: Only 30 participants who have previously registered will be able to attend the event in the physical space\, and they will have to meet the requirements for attending the event established due to the coronavirus pandemic.* \nThose wishing to attend the public lecture on November 12 will receive the following at the e-mail address provided by you: \n\nMeeting link for participation in the remote format;\nMeeting place for physical attendance.\n\n About the speaker \nJudge Virginia Covington was nominated as a federal court judge of the middle district of Florida on the 7th of September 2004.
