Join Global Education Oregon for an information session on our summer 2026 Cinema Studies in Dublin program! This summer program is a fantastic opportunity to work both critically and creatively, taking courses on contemporary Irish cinema and digital filmmaking, as well as attending Ireland’s largest film festival held every year in Galway, the Film Fleadh. Weekly excursions and local outings in and around Dublin and the Irish countryside allow you to learn on location about the country’s rich film history and explore the sites where important historical events, and films about those events, took place.
This program has received high interest, and students are encouraged to apply early. The Cinema Studies in Dublin program is on a rolling admission application process, and the final deadline to apply in March 15.

Join the Department of History and William Aspray, University of Minnesota Twin Cities, for a talk on “What is the History of Information? A Case Study of the United States in 1920."
Free and open to the public.
While scholars have written about the history of books and the history of libraries for 100 years and history of computing for 50 years, it has only been in the current century that scholars have regarded their work as part of a history of information. There is still considerable disagreement about the scope and character of this field. This lecture will go beyond the abstract discussions of definition to examine a case study about what might be featured in a history of information of the United States in 1920 and how it might differ from a traditional historical account of this topic.
William Aspray is Senior Research Fellow at the Charles Babbage Institute. In his early career he taught at Williams and Harvard. In his mid-career, he held senior administrative posts at the Charles Babbage Institute, the IEEE History Center, and Computing Research Association. For the final two decades before retiring, he held senior faculty positions in the information schools at Indiana, Texas, and Colorado. He has published books on the history and philosophy of mathematics; the history and historiography of computing and information; and misinformation, accountability, information-seeking, and other topics related to the social study of information.
5:30 p.m.
VIA Offers short-term Global Community Fellowships consisting of 6-8 week placements for current degree-seeking undergraduate or graduate students. Fellows work at NGOs, schools, universities, and social enterprises across Asia to support community development, capacity-building, and education. By working directly with communities, fellows get hands-on experience learning how organizations in Asia are using creative and innovative methods to address critical social challenges.
Fellows engage in a wide range of activities and tasks with our local partners. Each post has a unique mix of responsibilities, which generally fall into the following categories:
- Education — Fellows advance student development in critical thinking and cross-cultural communication to access future education and professional opportunities.
- Training and capacity-building — Fellows develop training resources and curricula for partners to enhance their organizational operations and optimize for impact. You may help with needfinding, research, training program or workshop design, facilitation, and assessment for partner staff and/or the communities they serve.
- Community development — Fellows support community development and international communication efforts by facilitating access resources, networks, and collaboration opportunities. You may help with fundraising, project management, and community outreach efforts of our local partners.
Join this information session to learn more about VIA's Global Community Fellowship program, partner organizations, and 2026 placement opportunities.
