Pictorial Arts Faculty Exhibition

August 25 - October 9, 2026

The Natalie and James Thompson Art Gallery is pleased to present the 2026 Pictorial Arts Faculty Exhibition, featuring new work by Irene Carvajal, Lexygius Sanchez Calip, Donald Feasel, Carla Fisher Schwartz, Erik Friedman, Mary Morse, Raphael Noz, and Shaun Odell.

This exhibition offers a snapshot of the vibrant creative practices of the Pictorial Arts faculty, bringing together artists whose work spans painting, drawing, printmaking, mixed media, and interdisciplinary approaches. Although their artistic voices are distinct, the works are united by a sustained engagement with image-making, material exploration, and the evolving possibilities of contemporary visual practice. The exhibition invites viewers to consider the many ways artists investigate perception, narrative, abstraction, and the expressive potential of pictorial form.

Beyond the classroom, these faculty members maintain active exhibition records and professional practices that contribute to the broader cultural landscape. Their work has been presented in regional, national, and international exhibitions and is represented in museum, corporate, and private collections. Collectively, they have earned grants, fellowships, residencies, and numerous honors that reflect the depth and impact of their artistic contributions.

The exhibition celebrates not only individual achievement but also the exchange of ideas that enriches the Pictorial Arts program. Through their ongoing studio practices and commitment to teaching, these artists create a dynamic environment where creative research and education continually inform one another.

LOCATION: Natalie and James Thompson Art Gallery, Art Building, San José State University

(Near 9th / San Carlos Streets)

Teaching Smarter with ChatGPT and Codex: A Hands-On Faculty Workshop

Please click to register for the workshop

Date: Sep 09 or Sep 11

Time: 9:30am -12pm

Location: SJSU MLK AI Center (1st Floor) or Zoom

Instructor: Jalal (Jay) Sarabadani, Assistant Professor of Information Systems, Lucas College and Graduate School of Business

Preparing courses, creating assessments, supporting students, and developing engaging learning experiences require significant time and effort. Recent advances in AI provide new opportunities to streamline these tasks, allowing faculty to devote more time to teaching, mentoring, and student learning.

Sound familiar?

Creating quizzes and exams every semester takes too much time.I wish I could provide more individualized support to my students.Creating engaging lecture slides and teaching materials is time-consuming.I have ideas for interactive learning experiences, but I don’t know how to build them.I’m answering the same student questions over and over.This workshop explores practical ways ChatGPT and Codex can support the teaching workflow, from developing instructional materials and designing assessments to supporting students and creating interactive learning experiences.

Participants will learn how to:

Design engaging teaching materials more efficiently.Develop assessments by generating question banks, creating multiple versions of quizzes and exams, and preparing assessments for Canvas.Build AI-powered study guides, quiz assistants, and course-specific GPTs using their own course materials.Create AI assistants that answer frequently asked questions based on course syllabi and policies.Build interactive course websites, study guides, dashboards, and educational applications using Codex—without extensive programming experience.Our goal is to focus on practical, transferable examples that faculty can immediately adapt to their own teaching, regardless of discipline or previous AI experience.

Spend less time on repetitive tasks and more time designing meaningful learning experiences for your students.

Multinational companies generally adopt a corporate lingua franca, often English, to manage linguistic diversity and create a common platform for communication within and among their globally dispersed business units. What happens when linguistically diverse employees in a given unit vary widely in their command of the corporate lingua franca? This presentation highlights two recent studies that show how employees manage this informally: by developing English language advice networks to get their work done, and by drawing on individual linguistic repertoires across multiple languages to effectively communicate with one another. The research has implications for social integration, knowledge sharing, and inclusivity in the contemporary multicultural workplace.

Carol Reade is a professor in the School of Management in the Lucas College and Graduate School of Business. Her field is international management, centered on the global mobility of employees and their lived experiences in multicultural, multilingual, and challenging environments. She and her coauthors received the Academy of Management’s 2024 Carolyn B. Dexter Award for best international paper on the topic of language diversity. Her work is published in the Journal of Management, Journal of International Management, Journal of International Business Policy, among others. She has been a visiting professor at Sophia University and Kyoto University, Japan, Postgraduate Institute of Management, Sri Lanka, University of Göttingen, Germany, and the London School of Economics, UK.

Steinbeck’s Landscapes is the first major work to focus on Steinbeck as a predominantly environmental writer. It highlights the places that the Nobel Prize–winning author cherished and explored throughout his life and examines the iconic stories they inspired. We learn how the Salinas Valley of his youth shaped East of Eden; how, in Cannery Row, the improbable diversity of human life washed together in a tight community not unlike a Monterey tidepool; and how, in The Grapes of Wrath, various human connections to land and soil inform every page of Steinbeck’s monumental novel.

Pictorial Arts Faculty Exhibition

August 25 - October 9, 2026

The Natalie and James Thompson Art Gallery is pleased to present the 2026 Pictorial Arts Faculty Exhibition, featuring new work by Irene Carvajal, Lexygius Sanchez Calip, Donald Feasel, Carla Fisher Schwartz, Erik Friedman, Mary Morse, Raphael Noz, and Shaun Odell.

This exhibition offers a snapshot of the vibrant creative practices of the Pictorial Arts faculty, bringing together artists whose work spans painting, drawing, printmaking, mixed media, and interdisciplinary approaches. Although their artistic voices are distinct, the works are united by a sustained engagement with image-making, material exploration, and the evolving possibilities of contemporary visual practice. The exhibition invites viewers to consider the many ways artists investigate perception, narrative, abstraction, and the expressive potential of pictorial form.

Beyond the classroom, these faculty members maintain active exhibition records and professional practices that contribute to the broader cultural landscape. Their work has been presented in regional, national, and international exhibitions and is represented in museum, corporate, and private collections. Collectively, they have earned grants, fellowships, residencies, and numerous honors that reflect the depth and impact of their artistic contributions.

The exhibition celebrates not only individual achievement but also the exchange of ideas that enriches the Pictorial Arts program. Through their ongoing studio practices and commitment to teaching, these artists create a dynamic environment where creative research and education continually inform one another.

LOCATION: Natalie and James Thompson Art Gallery, Art Building, San José State University

Introductions are critical aspects of a paper because their contents and quality can compel a reader to either read or pass over an academic paper and open or close a reader's mind to the contents within it. An introduction influences the way a reader will understand a paper's contents by hinting at a paper’s purpose and content, providing context for understanding the writer’s train of thought, and establishing relationships between ideas that are forthcoming. A strong introduction will pique a reader's interest and make them eager to read your paper. This workshop will offer techniques for writing and revising compelling introductions.

In 2022, poet Sally Ashton learned that one of her poems would be included in a time capsule to be sent to the Moon via Astrobotic’s 2024 Griffin/VIPER as part of the Lunar Codex project. For her, this event seemed like the high point in a life spent chasing the Moon, from a childhood inspired by the space race of the 1960s to an adulthood spent in contemplation and conversation with the sky. In Going to the Moon, Ashton marvels at the Moon’s powerful influence since the dawn of humanity—how we have, in our own ways, gone to the Moon, and what we have found. Contemplating lunar settlement in the light of history, culture, the rise of the space industry, and geopolitical conflict, Ashton shares her sense of wonder at the simple beauty of our unchanged Moon and reveals what is at stake in our contemporary attempts to colonize it.

Pictorial Arts Faculty Exhibition

August 25 - October 9, 2026

The Natalie and James Thompson Art Gallery is pleased to present the 2026 Pictorial Arts Faculty Exhibition, featuring new work by Irene Carvajal, Lexygius Sanchez Calip, Donald Feasel, Carla Fisher Schwartz, Erik Friedman, Mary Morse, Raphael Noz, and Shaun Odell.

This exhibition offers a snapshot of the vibrant creative practices of the Pictorial Arts faculty, bringing together artists whose work spans painting, drawing, printmaking, mixed media, and interdisciplinary approaches. Although their artistic voices are distinct, the works are united by a sustained engagement with image-making, material exploration, and the evolving possibilities of contemporary visual practice. The exhibition invites viewers to consider the many ways artists investigate perception, narrative, abstraction, and the expressive potential of pictorial form.

Beyond the classroom, these faculty members maintain active exhibition records and professional practices that contribute to the broader cultural landscape. Their work has been presented in regional, national, and international exhibitions and is represented in museum, corporate, and private collections. Collectively, they have earned grants, fellowships, residencies, and numerous honors that reflect the depth and impact of their artistic contributions.

The exhibition celebrates not only individual achievement but also the exchange of ideas that enriches the Pictorial Arts program. Through their ongoing studio practices and commitment to teaching, these artists create a dynamic environment where creative research and education continually inform one another.

LOCATION: Natalie and James Thompson Art Gallery, Art Building, San José State University

Ginger Shulick Porcella: The Role of Museums in the Age of AI

Now more than ever, audiences are seeking authentic experiences and a sense of community and belonging in our increasingly digital world. Museums as informal sites of learning are uniquely positioned to address this need. From presenting awe-inspiring exhibitions and programming, to providing opportunities to engage in visual literacy in our era of fake news, museums fill a critical role—despite the overall decrease in federal, state, and local funding. How can museums navigate this ever-changing world, continue to do more with less, and fulfill their missions in new and unexpected ways?

Ginger Shulick Porcella is a visionary arts leader, curator, and nonprofit executive. Currently serving as the Executive Director of the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History (the MAH), Porcella oversees exhibitions, community programs, and the museum’s broader mission of connecting art, history, and local communities. She is known as a transformational arts leader with a somewhat unconventional approach, embracing a “punk” ethos as she helps organizations acknowledge their past and create a roadmap to collectively move forward through radical listening, calculated risk-taking, and cultivating “unexpected audiences”.

Writing is hard for all new graduate students--no one comes in already understanding how to write at a graduate level in a new discipline. Undergraduate writing is a good foundation, but it does not fully prepare you for graduate school writing, which involves a new set of skills. This workshop will give you perspectives and specific tools that can be implemented immediately to ease the learning curve as you enter a graduate-level program. (Note that this workshop is intended for early career graduate students or upper-division undergraduates intending to enter graduate school.)

We are experiencing a brutal assault on multiracial democracy and equitable governance, and it’s difficult to track of the basic facts of our moment when the executive branch’s deliberate chaos comes to us through fragmented stories, screaming headlines, and churning feeds. This session will be a conversation about how ordinary people from many fields come together at Unbreaking to make sense of the world. We will explore the very live ethical questions we encounter as we build toward collective understanding while intentionally working outside the incentives and conventions of both view-from-nowhere journalism and persuasion-focused advocacy.

Can you tell when a book was made with AI? What clues should you trust? What happens when you get it wrong?

AI-generated books are already showing up online, in marketplaces, and in library discovery spaces, but can you actually tell when a book was made with AI? In this workshop, we’ll look at real examples, examine the clues people use to identify AI-generated books, and discuss which signals are reliable and which can be misleading. We’ll also consider what this means for authors, readers, and libraries as AI-generated publishing becomes more common. We will discuss the difference between legitimate use of generative AI, and fraudulent use, where the creator deliberately tries to hide their real identity in order to avoid accountability (and processing returns) for selling slop.

This program is part of SJSU Library’s How Can AI Be Used for Social Good? 2026-2027 series, hosted at the AI Center for Civic and Social Good in King Library.

RSVP: https://forms.gle/bEiapV9KS4oaGwUd7

Although their artistic voices are distinct, the works are united by a sustained engagement with image-making, material exploration, and the evolving possibilities of contemporary visual practice. The exhibition invites viewers to consider the many ways artists investigate perception, narrative, abstraction, and the expressive potential of pictorial form.

Beyond the classroom, these faculty members maintain active exhibition records and professional practices that contribute to the broader cultural landscape. Their work has been presented in regional, national, and international exhibitions and is represented in museum, corporate, and private collections. Collectively, they have earned grants, fellowships, residencies, and numerous honors that reflect the depth and impact of their artistic contributions.

The exhibition celebrates not only individual achievement but also the exchange of ideas that enriches the Pictorial Arts program. Through their ongoing studio practices and commitment to teaching, these artists create a dynamic environment where creative research and education continually inform one another.

Clear writing is presenting information so that it is easy for everyone to read and understand. Generally writing is considered clear and direct when there are identifiable subjects and verbs. This workshop will provide a step-by-step guide to untangling and revising unclear or convoluted sentences. We will focus on turning abstract nouns into concrete subjects and presenting crucial actions in verbs in order to make your writing clear and concise.

In this training, you will learn successful strategies on how to search for scholarly research articles using library resources such as the OneSearch catalog, specialized databases, and even Google Scholar.

We will also demonstrate the organic research process, showing both our thought process and how to troubleshoot common mistakes live. We will wrap up by detailing all the free research support available to you both in person and online from the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Library.

Note: This training will be held several times this semester. The same material is covered each time, so you only need to register once. (You are welcome to attend multiple sessions if you ever want a refresher.)

In this hands-on AI Literacy workshop, we’ll explore AI-enabled libraries and research tools and ask practical questions about what they do, how they handle your data, what other AI systems may be working behind the scenes, and what their limitations are. Participants will investigate real tools and consider issues such as privacy, transparency, accuracy, and data use alongside their own values and priorities. Participants will investigate real AI tools and see how easy (or difficult) it can be to find reliable answers about how they work. You’ll leave with a simple set of questions you can use to make more informed decisions about the AI tools you encounter.

This program is part of SJSU Library’s How Can AI Be Used for Social Good? 2026-2027 series, hosted at the AI Center for Civic and Social Good in King Library.
