The Martin-Springer Institute is hosting an evening with Spike Lee in honor of International Holocaust Remembrance Day on January 27, 2010 (7:00 p.m., Ardrey Auditorium). Tickets will be free to students.
The Martin-Springer Institute applies the lessons of the Holocaust to promote moral courage, altruism, and toleran...ce. This year’s theme is refugees and displaced people. Mr. Lee will talk about his experience making the documentary, When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts, which focuses on the victims of Hurricane Katrina. The documentary shows how racial and class issues compromised relief efforts creating a social disaster that extended well beyond the natural disaster of the hurricane. Mr. Lee will speak on citizenship, government policy and human rights.
We will be sponsoring a Spike Lee film festival the week preceding his visit (January 22-26). We encourage faculty to use these films in their courses as they address important issues of class and race. Films will be shown for free in Cline Library (http://www.cal.nau.edu/msi/spike_lee_fil
For more information about Spike Lee, Refugees, Hurricane Katrina and the Film Festival please see our website www.cal.nau.edu/msi/. Ticketing information will be posted on our website.
These events are being co-sponsored by the following organizations: Martin-Springer Institute, Student Advisory Council, Multicultural Student Center, College of Arts and Letters, College of Arts and Letters Film Series, Black Student Union, College of Education, Department of History, Department of Politics and International Affairs, Ethnic Studies Program.

Having served on many search committees at two-year colleges, I have a pretty good idea how applications are evaluated. My objective is to help you understand the process, too, so you can craft your documents accordingly.

A Multidisciplinary Graduate Student Conference
ABSTRACTS DUE NOV 15TH
Academic disciplines often push practitioners to divide the world into
discrete categories. Category labels not only tell the researcher and the
reader what constitutes a particular object of study, they delimit the
boundaries... of a discipline. This orthodoxy faces a counter-history that rejects
sharp divisions, either on a disciplinary or a categorical level. As a result,
the cleavages between disciplines such as sociology, history, economics, and political
science, are now under attack. This conference seeks to build upon these
critiques by examining the middle ground between theoretical, ontological,
epistemic, disciplinary, and methodological spaces in all academic disciplines.
Topics may include but are not limited to:
Connecting multiple
literatures together and demonstrating the deficiencies of each set or
deficiencies stemming from divisions between the literatures;Addressing how different
methodological approaches might be combined in new and different ways; •
Revealing how answers in one discipline may inform questions of other
disciplines;Voicing a theoretical,
methodological, or ontological perspective that has been previously
dismissed by the orthodoxy of academia;Deconstructing theoretical
value commitments and revealing spaces and alternatives.
The conference is designed to be inclusive. Proposals are welcome from
graduate students in all disciplines at NAU, UA and ASU. Abstracts for papers
and poster presentations should be e-mailed to political.science@nau.edu
and include title, description, preferred format (paper or poster), author
name, author affiliation (school, college, department), and contact information
(phone number and e-mail).
Proposals must be received by November 15. The conference will take
place on Friday, January 29, 2010 at Northern Arizona University,
Flagstaff.
This conference is being organized by the Graduate Association of Political
Science (GAPS). Supporters include the Department of Politics &
International Affairs (partial list).Read More
