The GEEX Educator Group consists of two information-sharing tools:
- geex-educators@googlegroups.com: a Google Group email list for sharing announcements, events, and opportunities amongst glass educators;
- and the Glass Resource Exchange, for sharing materials for glass teaching and learning.
Who is this for?
This group is intended for both institutional and independent educators in collegiate glass programs, glass studios, museums, and other learning institutions.
What topics have GEEX Educators discussed?
How do I participate?
1. Join the GEEX Educators Google Group and share your time-sensitive materials by emailing geex-educators@googlegroups.com about:
- Announcements
- Events: Lectures, workshops, classes
- Opportunities: Jobs, internships, assistantships, grants, residencies, fellowships, MFA programs, exhibition calls, etc.
2. For articles, recorded content, and learning materials, please share resources through the Glass Resource Exchange. GEEX offers this structure for the extended utility and accessibility of shared materials in glass education.
Why was this group started?
In Spring 2020, Liesl Schubel (Director of Education at UrbanGlass) began an email chain to connect and support glass educators pivoting to virtual teaching. In that thread, glass educators chose to share resources, opportunities, and general support.
To encourage, formalize and structure ongoing intercollegiate communication, GEEX started the GEEX Educators Google Group and the Glass Resource Exchange.
