The North Carolina Museum of Art recently featured an exhibit curated by @ncstate public history doctoral student Nancy Strickland Fields. 👏

The exhibit, To Take Shape and Meaning: Form and Design in Contemporary American Indian Art, featured works by 75 Indigenous artists from more than 50 tribes throughout the U.S. and Canada, including eight from North Carolina.

“Through the creation and the art selected, audiences experienced a wide view of history and how history is relevant to Native people today,” says Nancy, a member of the Lumbee tribe. “The art represents traditions, beliefs and world views, and also the harsh legacies of colonialism.”

An intercollege, interdisciplinary team of NC State researchers led by CHASS scholars Veljko Dubljevic, Paul Fyfe and Alice Cheng received a $500,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities to establish an AI center to explore the ethical implications of the technology.

The “Embedding AI in Society Ethically” (EASE) Center, housed in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, will spearhead research on the ethical integration of AI in society, combining expertise from humanities, engineering, and computer science disciplines. By fostering this collaboration and public engagement, the EASE Center aims to set new standards for responsible AI development, ensuring that technological advancements align with societal values and ethics.
