My name is Keith Roach, and I work at the IU Office of Creative Services. As you may know, IU is sponsoring a video contest as part of the Celebrate IU festivities next month. Students on all IU campuses are invited to submit one-minute videos about why they love IU to a contest page on YouTube. The deadline is Friday, October 17, at 5 p.m. EDT. A panel of student and faculty judges will select the top three videos. Prizes are $300 for first place, $200 for second, and $100 for third.

Not only does the contest give students a chance to add their voice to Celebrate IU, but it will create a great online resource for showing the world why IU is a great university.

If you know of students who might like to enter, or faculty or staff who would be willing to tell students about the contest, please forward the blurb below to them. Also feel free to send it to your student e-mail list, if you have one. Flyers (designed for printing on office computers) are available for download at: http://www.celebrate.iu.edu/downloads.php

STUDY SOCIAL WORK In PRAGUE!

May 13 – June 23, 2009 (6 weeks)
Presented by:
Florida State University International Programs & FSU College of Social Work

The Florida State University College of Social Work is pleased to again offer for the fourth consecutive year a study abroad program in the beautiful city of Prague, capital of the Czech Republic, the summer of 2009 for both BSW and MSW students. This program will give participants the exciting opportunity to see social work – its theory, practice, and diversity – in a larger international arena, a vantage point that has become increasingly more important in our current global society. A major focus of the program will be on the social issues and enormous transitions that have occurred in Central and Eastern Europe since the fall of communism and, more specifically, how those issues are being addressed by the social work community.
A portion of the classroom setting will be transformed to the field, where students will visit a variety of social programs and dialogue on an informal level with Czech practitioners about these social problems and the emerging development of social work as a new profession in that region of the world. Guest lectures by social work faculty from Charles University, one of the oldest and most prestigious universities in Europe, regarding the practice of social work in related topic areas will also be included. Following are the two courses that will be offered for both graduate and undergraduate students:

• SOW 4784/5785: International Social Work and Social Welfare (3 credits). This course will provide extensive content on major global issue that are changing the face of social work practice around the world, such as human trafficking, international child welfare issues, poverty, substance abuse, the plight of refugees and asylum seekers, global gender issues, etc. Also included will be weekly visits to select social programs in Prague where students will receive lectures on the ways in which these issues are being addressed in Central Europe.
• SOW 4935/5938: Visual Qualitative Inquiry in International Settings (3 credits). This course will focus on the use of photography/videography as a qualitative research tool to capture and evaluate prevailing social problems and related issues in Central and Eastern Europe. Using visual data and narrative data concurrently, the students will learn to collect, manage, and analyze these data. Site visits will be conducted to various sights in and around Prague that provide opportunities for students to visually record and interpret data from these visits.

In addition to the above coursework, the following social/cultural events will be included in the program fee:
• Visit to Krakow, Poland (including a visit to Auschwitz and the neighboring salt mines in Poland)
• Weekend visit to Cesky Krumlov, a beautiful Renaissance town in the Czech Republic, & river rafting excursion
• Visit to Terezin concentration camp outside Prague
• Day trip to Kutna Hora and a silver mine in the Czech Republic
• Various excursions in Prague and dinner cruise down the Vltava River

PROGRAM FEE: The program fee of $6915 includes registration and tuition for up to 9 undergraduate credit hours (6 graduate hours); housing in furnished apartments in central Prague; social/cultural excursions and activities; public transportation; health insurance; international student ID card; T-shirt or cap; course specific field trips. Not included: round-trip international airfare; passport; food (except where indicated); books and supplies; personal travel/spending money.
REGISTRATION: Participants can register online by going to the following website:

The Ramadan Fast-a-Thon

September 30, 2008

In the Islamic month of Ramadan, Muslims fast during daylight hours as an act of submission, solidarity, and remembrance. Fasting calls attention to those who go hungry every day, not as an exercise of religious expression, but out of necessity.

In Bloomington alone, area food pantries, soup kitchens, and other emergency food providers receive many calls for emergency food in a single day. Hunger happens right here in our city, and the Indiana University Muslim Student Union responds to this need by organizing an annual event to raise money for the Bloomington Community Kitchen.

The Ramadan Fast-a-Thon hopes to raise up to one thousand dollars for the Bloomington Community Kitchen, and raise awareness of the need for food within the city of Bloomington

Here's how it works:


* Through announcements, fliers, and media, we ask students to go hungry for a single day. Participants will sign pledge cards, receive instructions on how to fast, and on September 30, abstain from food and drink during daylight hours. At the end of the day, fasting students will be invited to break their fast with a delicious dinner provided by the MSU and local business donors.


* We collect pledges from area businesses that promise to donate money and/or food in honor of non-Muslim students who agree to fast during the daylight hours of the day of Fast a Thon. Each business will sign a pledge sheet, agreeing to write a check to the Community Kitchen for the amount committed, or donate food for a free dinner provided to the participating students. Participating businesses will receive publicity throughout the event on campus fliers, the MSU website, a t-shirt, a banner at the event, the event itself, and the local media who cover the story.


* Our goal is to convince 600 students to fast and raise $1000 for the Community Kitchen.

We thank you for your support of the Community Kitchen and the local Muslim community.

Sincerely,
Indiana University Muslim Student Union

Re-Examining Archaeology Ethics: Considering Native Americans and Indigenous People Public Panel and Open Discussion

Wednesday, October 1st, 6pm at the Glenn Black Lab lecture hall, Free reception to follow

The aim of the panel and discussion is to talk about ways of incorporating Native American concerns about archaeology ethics into the current Society for American Archaeology (SAA) ethics principles. What kinds of concerns do Native Americans have about archaeology practice? How do the current SAA principles address these? What is the process of revisiting and updating the current ethics principles? Do ethics principles have an effect on the way archaeology is practiced? How do the SAA principles compare to those from other settler nations (such as Canada and Australia)? These are some of the questions that we will discuss during the public panel and discussion. Panelists include:

Alison Wylie (U of Washington, Anthropology and Philosophy Dept. one of the drafters of the SAA principles of ethics)
Dorothy Lippert (Smithsonian Museum of Natural History - current SAA Executive Board member)
Paula Lazrus (St. John's University, Anthropology Dept. - current SAA Ethics Committee Chair)

Community members, faculty, staff, and students all welcome! Join us and for the discussion and share your views! Contact Sonya Atalay for more information: 812-856-2638 satalay@indiana.edu
Sponsors: IU Anthropology Department, Poynter Center for Ethics, First Nations Educational and Cultural Center and Office of Multicultural Initiatives.

Congress must not go home without passing an economic recovery package!

Unemployment is up.
Millions are struggling to pay for food, gas, and housing.
Heating costs will rise 40 percent this winter, and many households just don't know how they can possibly manage.

Call your Rep. and Senators Tomorrow, September 17 to tell them they must act now!

Use this toll-free number: 1-888-245-0215

Tell them: Please do not leave this month without passing an economic recovery package that helps low-income people avoid hardships, helps the jobless, maintains needed public services, and boosts the economy.

Wednesday September 17 is the best day to call. But you can call any day this week - Sept. 16-19. You'll be connected to the Capitol Switchboard - please ask to be connected to your Representative and your two Senators.
If you don't know your Representative's name: http://www.house.gov (upper left)
If you don't know your Senators' name: http://www.senate.gov/ (upper right)

Background: The House leadership is expected to bring up a recovery bill soon. Discussions are going on now about what might be in the package. We need your help to press for aid to help low-income people pay for food, heat, and other basic needs, and to make sure that essential public services are maintained. Congress needs to hear from constituents who demand that urgent needs are met - both because it's the right thing to do and because economists tell us these investments will boost the economy and build a shared recovery. It won't be easy to pass a recovery bill, but if Congress hears a sense of urgency from callers, they'll understand they cannot walk away until January without having acted.

Advocates have been urging more funds for food and home energy assistance, additional weeks of unemployment benefits, more aid to states for rising Medicaid costs and to keep collecting child support owed to millions of children, more funds for Head Start, and more jobs through infrastructure repair and jobs programs for youth. For explanation of these proposals, see Towards Shared Recovery, at http://www.chn.org/pdf/2008/stimulus9908.pdf It's great to mention some or all of these important items when you call.

We know making these calls is not your favorite thing to do. But Congress needs to be held accountable for taking urgently needed action. They're not accountable if they don't think anyone is paying attention.

Many thanks - please forward this to everyone you can think of.

Study Abroad in Munich

SOUTHERN ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY AT CARBONDALE SCHOOL OF SOCIAL WORK
STUDY ABROAD: HUMAN RIGHTS AND SOCIAL WORK
MUNICH, GERMANY
JANUARY 3 – 11, 2009

The School of Social Work at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale will again offer a Study Abroad course based in Munich, Germany. This course will begin on January 3 and end on January 11, 2009.

This course examines human rights within a social work framework, from both European and US perspectives. Field visits and course instruction focuses on political and social human rights, with an emphasis on defining human rights principles as they apply to social work.
The location of Munich, Germany highlights the importance of human rights within our current environment, as contemporary human rights arose from the history of this part of the world. Participants in the course have the opportunity to explore concepts of human rights that apply to their own experiences, as well as historical events. This course is ideal for undergraduate or graduate students and professionals interested in learning about different approaches to social problems within a human rights context.

The estimated program fee is $ 2,000, not including airfare from the US to Germany. The program fee includes all necessary transportation relating to the course within Germany, accommodation, and some meals. Three hours of course credit is available from Southern Illinois University, with tuition charged in addition to the program fee. At current rates, three hours of tuition at SIU costs about $800. However, participants outside SIU are not required to take the course for credit.

Dr. Elisabeth Reichert, Professor of Social Work at SIUC and author of several books and articles on human rights, will conduct the course. For further details, please contact Dr. Reichert by email at reichert@siu.edu or contact her by telephone at 618 684 5687.

Free Audio Conference: Latino Immigrants with Disabilities: Challenges in Employment

In 2000, U.S. Census data showed there was a significantly higher percentage of working-age Latino immigrants in the United States who have a disability compared to all other groups. This can be attributed to injuries in dangerous work environments and heavy manual labor including farm work, lack of access to medical care and insurance, complex health conditions such as HIV/AIDS, diabetes and obesity, and violence. Latino immigrants face a number of challenges when it comes to accessing employment services such as vocational rehabilitation and job placement. This free audio conference will focus on the barriers faced by this population. It will also provide information on some innovative programs and services that are available to assist them.The audio conference will be held Tuesday, September 16th from 2:00-3:30 pm. No pre-registration is required. CRCC continuing education credits will be available. The session is free at the location sponsored by ADA-Indiana.
