LAWRENCE — The Achievement & Assessment Institute has announced the recipients of this year’s Arts & Humanities Grant.
Ash Wilson, director of the Center for Sexuality & Gender Diversity at KU, and David Mai, assistant teaching professor in the Department of Film & Media Studies, were awarded the grant for their project titled “Telling Our Stories.”
Work in AAI focuses on enhancing educational opportunity; optimizing the well-being of children, youth and families; creating accessible assessment systems that better support student learning, especially for struggling learners; and creating educational technologies and data systems that support students, teachers and organizations. “Telling Our Stories” connects to many of these areas through a collaborative media project.
