Gabriel Alegría Afro-Peruvian Jazz Sextet

The Department of Folklore and Ethnomusicology, the Folklore and Ethnomusicology Student Association, and several other departments and organizations on campus are sponsoring an awesome jamfest next week, featuring a wonderful music group from South America. Come on out and join the party!

Free Concert! Wednesday, February 6th. 8 p.m. at the Waldron Arts Center - Rose Firebay Room

Smoldering jazz is kicked up with the intoxicating polyrhythms of coastal Perú as trumpeter and composer Gabriel Alegría continues to chart a fresh new idiom. Combining his own distinctive approach to the jazz trumpet
with the rich heritage of Afro-Peruvian music, Alegría is joined by saxophonist Laurandrea Leguía, guitarist Yuri Juárez, bassist Joscha Oetz, drummer Hugo Alcázar and master percussionist Freddy “Huevito” Lobatón-who plays traditional Afro-Peruvian instruments such as cajón (box drum) and quijada (jaw bone) and adds spectacular passages of zapateo dancing.

The 2008 tour features music from Alegría’s latest recording Nuevo Mundo scheduled for release on January 13, 2008. This landmark recording features guest appearances by some of today’s jazz luminaries such as vocalist
Tierney Sutton, multi-grammy award winning Russell Ferrante, and jazz legends Bill Watrous and Bobby Shew. Alegría’s CD is available exclusively through his web site www.gabrielalegria.com as well as
information regarding the Afro-Peruvian jazz music movement and community.

THREE CREDIT HOURS

The School of Social Work at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale will offer a unique Study Abroad course from May 13th to May 24, 2008. The course will take place in Munich, Germany, and surrounding areas.

This course will examine the increasingly important connection of human rights to social work, from both European and US perspectives. Field visits and seminars will focus on both political and social human rights, including democratic concepts of human rights.

Social work today is challenging and dynamic, with human rights playing a key role in developing policies and practices. The course is ideal for any undergraduate or graduate student or professional interested in learning about different approaches to social problems within a human rights context.

The estimated program fee for the course is $2,000, not including airfare. The program fee includes all necessary transportation relating to the course within Germany, accommodation, and some meals. Tuition is additional to the program fee, with three hours of course credit costing about $750 at current tuition rates.

Dr. Elisabeth Reichert, Professor at SIUC and native of Germany, will be conducting the course. Dr. Reichert has published extensively on social work and human rights. One of her books, Understanding Human Rights: An Exercise Book, will serve as a textbook for the course.

This course is also available for students outside of social work.

For further details please contact Dr. Reichert by email at either: Ereich1234@acces4less.net or reichert@siu.edu, or contact Dr. Reichert by telephone at (618) 453-2243 (office).

Performances of One More River to Cross are February 1 & 2 at 7:00pm and February 3 at 2:00pm at the BPP (107 W. 9^th).

The BPP @ 107 W. 9th

WHY

The BPP is dedicated to supporting local theatre, and providing avenues for local theatre artists to produce their work.

“This production is about the birth of a new culture, the making of a new community and the contributions of that community our great nation,” says DeVane.

Just a handful of the historical figures profiled in this unique production include Harriet Tubman, Marian Anderson, Louis Armstrong, Paul Robeson & the Fisk Jubilee Singers, among a host of others. DeVane and Mumford intend to provide the audience with a vivid, engrossing and fast-paced experience that celebrates the richness and diversity of African American voices throughout history.

“I believe the arts can and should be used as a medium to bridge the gaps between different realities,” says DeVane. “I believe that performances like One More River to Cross promote better understanding of different world-views, and leads to meaningful dialogue between people who are similar in many ways, yet substantially different in other ways.”

Performances of One More River to Cross are February 1 & 2 at 7:00pm and February 3 at 2:00pm. Tickets are $20 General Admission and $12 Students.

American Cancer Society Daffodil Days

STUDENTS, FACULTY AND STAFF ENCOURAGED TO GET INVOLVED IN THE
AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY DAFFODIL DAYS OF INDIANA UNIVERSITY

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – For 35 years, the American Cancer Society has been making a difference in the fight against cancer and providing hope for those facing the disease through its Daffodil Days program. Although Daffodil Days involves offering daffodils every spring to donors in appreciation for their contributions, it is about more than just giving beautiful flowers – it is everyone’s opportunity to share hope for a world free of cancer.

Daffodil Days 2008 is coming to Indiana University the week of March 24, immediately following spring break. The American Cancer Society is looking for volunteers – anyone from students to faculty and staff – to assist in taking daffodil requests during January and February and packing and delivering daffodils during March. To help make a difference in the fight against cancer through Daffodil Days, contact Committee Chair Mary Ann Miller at 855.3810 or mamiller@indiana.edu.

Initial order deadline is Feb. 8, but requests can still be placed until March 14. For a minimal donation, supporters will receive a bunch of fresh-cut daffodils and, more importantly, the knowledge that they are helping defeat cancer. A bunch of 10 fresh-cut daffodils will be available for a donation of $10 or $15 for a bunch and a glass vase. Also available is the Gift of Hope for a donation of $25, which provides a bouquet of flowers anonymously delivered to a cancer patient in the area.

Dollars raised through Daffodil Days enable the Society to offer free programs and services that help people fight cancer with courage and optimism, while providing physical and emotional support and financial information to ease the cancer experience. Additionally, daffodil contributions provide the Society with much-needed dollars to fund groundbreaking cancer research, which happens right here at Indiana University, and by educating people about the importance of cancer prevention and early detection and advocate for meaningful public health policies that benefit the community.

To volunteer for Daffodil Days 2008 or to place your order, please contact Mary Ann Miller at 855.3810 or mamiller@indiana.edu.

If we want to combat global warming, increase access to higher education, provide healthcare for all Americans, end corruption in Washington, and redeploy our troops, we must expand our majorities in Congress and take back the White House.

ONLINE EQUIVALENCIES FOR IU PROGRAMS

The course equivalency lists for all IU semester and year-long programs are now available as PDF at http://www.indiana.edu/~overseas/basics/faculty/equivalencies.shtml. The lists are updated twice a year and are subject to change. The most up-to-date versions of the lists are emailed to students after they are accepted to an IU program. If you have any questions about the equivalency lists, please contact Kendra Nelson, Assistant Director, at kenmnels@indiana.edu. Please note that Overseas Study does not maintain equivalency lists for non-IU programs.

RE-ENTRY WORKSHOP: INTERGRATING STUDY ABROAD INTO YOUR NOW… AND LATER

This semester’s re-entry workshop for returned study abroad students will be held in the last week of July (exact date and time to be determined). The focus of the event is to discuss their “return” to IU and the U.S., explaining to them the common challenges students face during this transition as well as some strategies for successfully reintegrating into the home culture. Opportunities will be presented to them for continuing their international experience both NOW (campus/community/personal) and LATER (careers, graduate schools, volunteer work abroad). We will help students brainstorm ideas about how to sell their study abroad experiences, on their resumes and in interviews. Students who studied abroad in the last year will be e-mailed an invitation.

REMINDERS

Study Abroad 101:

This past semester 120 students attended the Overseas Study "Study Abroad 101" information meetings. We continue to offer a Study Abroad 101 meeting every Wednesday at 4:00 in our Information Center. This is the best place for students to start the search for a study abroad program. We can provide you with bookmarks promoting this informational meeting if you'd like. Just let us know!

Approval Memos

If you are aware of students who will be going abroad and will be seeking IU course equivalencies, please encourage them to petition for course approvals as soon as possible. Assessing courses prior to the end of a program will make the reporting of grades a much smoother process and will allow students to see how credits form abroad will fulfill requirements at a much earlier date. Course approval memos should be submitted by advisors or faculty using the online course approval memo form which can be found at: https://www.indiana.edu/~overseas/courseapproval/course_memo.pl.

Advising Plans

Just a friendly reminder that students who are participating on non-IU programs are not required to submit a study abroad advising form. If you have questions as to whether or not you should complete an advising form with a student please contact OVST.

Sex Workers' Art Show Tour

There's been a LOT of interest in bringing the Sex Workers' Art Show Tour to Indiana
University Bloomington for Women's History Month, so the Office for Women's Affairs is
currently in the process of booking them and we need your help!

The Sex Workers' Art Show Tour (http://www.sexworkersartshow.com/) is a traveling
cabaret act that uses visual and performance art to "dispel the myth that people who
work in the sex industry are anything short of artists, innovators, and geniuses!" This
sexy, hilarious and thought provoking postmodern punk spectacle has a broad appeal
that, when I saw them perform two years ago, had sorority women, mousy faculty members
and jaded hipsters alike amazed, compelled and in awe of the raw power of sex workers'
art!

The Tour is looking to visit Indiana University on Feb. 24th. The Office for Women's
Affairs would love to bring them, but we need your help! As little as $100 would help us
out tremendously, though you don't have to contribute anything to serve as a co-sponsor
of the event; you can contribute by spreading the word with your department, friends,
and significant others, and by attending at the show.

If you're interested, lend us your organization's name and sign on as a co-sponsor for
what will be sure to be the most talked about event to hit Indiana University this year!
If you're wary of co- sponsorship, at least let us know if you're interested in remaining
on our ad hoc mailing list for the event, so we can send you formal publicity and
announcements for the event when the time comes. Please let us know no later than
January 18 if you'd like to cosponsor, or February 1 if you'd like to simply remain on
our mailing list.

Humanity in Action Summer Fellowship Programs

Humanity in Action's 2008 Core Fellowship Programs in Denmark, France, Germany, The Netherlands, Poland, and the United States. These 5-week summer programs foster an ongoing, trans-Atlantic dialogue on domestic minority rights and diversity issues among university student leaders. Each Core Program is divided into two phases. During the first phase, Fellows meet with recognized leaders in human rights organizations, politicians, diplomats, philanthropists, journalists, scholars, and artists during three weeks of academic seminars, site visits, and discussion group activities. In the last two weeks of the program, the Fellows break into transnational teams to research and write reports that address past and present minority issues in the host countries. Since our programs focus on minority rights and diversity issues in the US and Europe, we are particularly interested in attracting minority students for our programs. Simply put, it is this diversity of perspectives and experiences that enable the vibrant discussions and personal growth that are absolutely critical to the success of our programs. Moreover, our programs offer a unique opportunity for students to work in a diverse, environment and to obtain the key intercultural skills that are becoming crucial in today's globalized job market.

WALKOUT

January 16 ~ 7pm at La Casa

Movie description: America is a country built on equality and opportunity - but when equal opportunity is denied, it's time to fight back. That's exactly what a group of Chicano students did when they walked out of their East LA high schools in 1968, sending an unequivocal message to American educators and administrators that endures today. "You're talking about an event that really isn't known that well even though it's the largest high-school student demonstration that we've ever had in the United States of America," quote by Director Edward James Olmos. Co-sponsored by Latinos Unidos and La Casa.
