Learning From Martineztown, a University Grand Rounds presentation and discussion on gathering lessons on academic and community work, is set for Wednesday, Nov. 11 from noon to 1:30 p.m. in George Pearl Hall room P104, located in the east end of the lower level. The event is free and open to the public.
The event is organized by Associate Professor Mark Childs, School of Architecture and Planning. He said, “Since the 1960’s era of urban renewal, south Martineztown has worked with multiple departments at UNM on issues including physical planning, public health, community history and superfund remediation. We will discuss this long-term, multifaceted relationship with the educational missions of UNM.”
Presenters are Frank Martinez, spokesman for the Citizens Information Committee and a research scholar in architecture; and Richard Nordhaus, professor emeritus of architecture.
Grand Rounds is a term borrowed from the medical establishment to describe how they present a case, discuss it and learn from it. The town/gown grand rounds are an opportunity for UNM and the community to work collaboratively – each session partners a community member with a UNM counterpart.
