Conference: Critical Ethnic Studies and the Future of Genocide
Critical Ethnic Studies and the Future of Genocide:
Settler Colonialism/Heteropatriarchy/White Supremacy
A Major Conference
March 10-12, 2011
University of California, Riverside
Ethnic studies scholarship has laid the crucial foundation for analyzing the intersections of racism, colonialism, immigration, and slavery within the United States context. Yet it has become clear that ethnic studies paradigms have become entrapped within, and sometimes indistinguishable from, the discourse and mandate of liberal multiculturalism, which relies on a politics of identity representation diluted and domesticated by nation-building and capitalist imperatives. Interrogating the strictures in which ethnic studies finds itself today, this conference calls for the development of critical ethnic studies. Far from advocating the peremptory dismissal of identity, this conference seeks to structure inquiry around the logics of white supremacy, settler colonialism, capitalism, and heteropatriarchy in order to expand the scope of ethnic studies. An interdisciplinary or even un-disciplinary formation, critical ethnic studies engages with the logics that structure society in its entirety.
As ethnic studies has become more legitimized within the academy, it has frequently done so by distancing itself from the very social movements that helped to launch ethnic studies in the first place. Irrefutable as the evidence is of the university's enmeshment with governmental and corporate structures, the trend in ethnic studies has been to neutralize the university rather than to interrogate it as a site that transforms ideas into ideology. While this conference does not propose to romanticize these movements or to prescribe a specific relationship that academics should have with them, we seek to call into question the emphasis on professionalization within ethnic studies and the concomitant refusal to interrogate the politics of the academic industrial complex or to engage with larger movements for social transformation.

IUB G&M faculty brownbag series,
Friday, September 24, 12:00-1:00, IDS (SPEA 204)
IUB G&M faculty brownbag series,
Presentation: “Setting the Stage for Creativity: the Jazz Combo Model”
Monika Herzig
Jazz music is a unique result of the American melting pot, often considered the ultimate medium for individual musical expression while also highly sensitive to group interaction. Throughout its historical development from the New Orleans red light districts to concert halls, from party music to art form, from segregation to worldwide integration, from musical illiteracy to integration into the University curricula, the model of the jazz combo combining improvisation with collaboration has proven successful as an incubator of innovation and creativity. As economic development increasingly depends on novel ideas and creative group interaction, the study of the dynamics of the jazz model and factors influencing the process of group creation could encourage new models of entrepreneurship and business innovation. Further study of these factors and transfer of the findings to motivate creative group interaction in business and science is encouraged as a tool for teaching entrepreneurship to the next generation.

TALK: "Moving Toward a Socially and Ecologically Sustainable World Society"
BY: Professor Isidor Wallimann
DATE: Wednesday, September 29, 12:30-1:30 PM
PLACE: Room 001, SLIS
The world’s societies have become ever more connected such that the planet’s population can be conceived as a “world society”. Much of this connectedness has arisen in the context of a “world wide” industrialization effort. However, this pattern has become unsustainable. Significant adjustments have to be made and failing to make them is likely to result in significant human suffering and loss due to insufficient and scarce resources and/or environmental overuse and scarcity. Adjusting and rebuilding industrial society, on the other hand, will also entail risks that could lead to significant conflicts and /or increased human suffering and loss – as has often been observed in the history of drastic social change. The question, therefore, is how world society can be brought to organize the restructuring process in time to avoid resource and environmental depletion on the one hand, and to guarantee a sufficient continuity of change on the other to avoid small or large social system “collapses”.
The presentation will in part be based on the book
On the Edge of Scarcity: Environment, Resources, Population, Sustainability, and Conflict (edited by Isidor Wallimann and Michael Dobkowski). Syracuse: Syracuse University Press, 2002.
Bio
Professor Isidor Wallimann recently retired from the University of Applied Sciences NorthWest Switzerland and from the University of Freiburg in Switzerland. He has published numerous books in English and German such as "Estrangement: Marx's Conception of Human Nature and the Division of Labor," "Genocide and the Modern Age" and "On the Edge of Scarcity." As a visiting professor, he has been invited to universities in the US, China and Taiwan. He has lectured worldwide and been an expert on social policy for the Swiss National Science Foundation. Wallimann is a former Fellow of the Indiana University Bloomington Institute of Advanced Study and is here visiting the Center for the Study of Global Change.

Title: When Supply and Demand Do Not Meet: The Divergent Online News Preferences of Journalists and Readers and What They Mean for the Future of Media and Democracy
Abstract:
In this talk I will report on a series of studies that bridge my recently published book, News at Work: Imitation in an Age of Information Abundance (University of Chicago Press, 2010) and a new book that I am writing during the current academic year. These studies focus on the existence and magnitude of a thematic gap between the news that journalists who work at elite online news sites consider the most newsworthy ones and the stories that attract most attention among audience of these sites; the factors that shape this gap; and, what this gap means for the economic viability of these news organizations and the quality of democratic life.

School of Journalism Research Colloquium
"The Counterattack against Liberal Media Bias: Conservative Critiques of the U.S. News Media in the 1970s."
William Gillis, School of Journalism doctoral candidate
Wednesday, September 22,
4:30pm
Ernie Pyle Lounge (2nd Floor) Ernie Pyle Hall
The alleged liberal bias of the U.S. news media was an important issue for conservative Americans of the 1970s, yet the media criticism levied by conservatives during this period has largely been ignored by both historians and media scholars. A wide range of conservative publications regularly argued that the New York Times, Washington Post, and the three major news networks provided slanted, left-leaning news and opinion. City dailies including the Boston Globe, Louisville Courier-Journal, the Detroit Free Press, and the Charleston Post- Gazette were also targeted by locals who felt those newspapers did not cover conservative viewpoints and causes fairly.

Rob Kling Center for Social Informatics Lecture Series
Speaker: Mary Gray, Department of Communication and Culture, IUB
Topic: Beyond "Online/Offline": Information access, Public Spaces, and
Queer Youth Visibility in the Rural U.S.
Date: Friday, September 24, 2010
Time: 1:45pm-2:50pm
Place: LI001 Wells Library (SLIS in Wells Library; East 10th St. entrance)
Talk preceded by an informal gathering with cookies, tea, and
coffee, available at 1:35pm. There will be an informal meeting
with graduate students following the talk.
ABSTRACT
Drawing on her nearly two years work in rural parts of Kentucky and in small towns along its borders, this talk discusses how lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and questioning (LGBTQ) youth and their allies make use of social media and local resources to combat the marginalization faced in their own communities and their absence in popular representations of gay and lesbian life and the agendas of national gay and lesbian advocacy groups. This talk explores how boundary publics—visibility strategies that blur offline/online experience—act as responses to "digital inequality" against increasing privatization of information access and government-mandated censoring of information at educational institutions in the rural United States. The complete abstract is available at: http://rkcsi.indiana.edu/media/M_Gray.pdf
BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH
Mary L. Gray is an associate professor in the Department of Communication and Culture at Indiana University Bloomington. Her research examines how everyday uses of media shape people's understandings and expressions of their social identities. She is the author of In Your Face: Stories from the Lives of Queer Youth (1999).
Her latest book Out in the Country: Youth, Media, and Queer Visibility in Rural America (NYU Press) examines how young people in rural parts of the United States fashion queer senses of gender and sexual identity and the role that media--particularly the internet--play in their lives and political work. For more information about the book, see the BLOG for "Out in the Country, Youth, Media, and Queer Visibility in Rural America" @ http://www.QUEERCOUNTRY.org. Her home page is http://www.indiana.edu/~cmcl/faculty/gray.shtml

Visibly Muslim: The Emergence of New Islamic Fashions in the West
The Indiana University India Studies Program presents
Emma Tarlo
Reader
Department of Anthropology
Goldsmiths, University of London
Thursday, September 23
7:00 pm
Woodburn Hall, Room 004
Emma Tarlo is the author of the award winning book, Clothing Matters: Dress and Identity in India (Chicago 1996), Unsettling Memories: Narratives of the Emergency in Delhi (California 2003) and co-editor (with Annelies Moors) of Muslim Fashions, a special double issue of the Journal, Fashion Theory (2007). She runs the British wing of the Norface comparative international project on the emergence of Islamic fashion in Europe and is a co-researcher on an AHRC project on Modest Fashion and Internet Retail which focuses on Muslim, Christian and Jewish perspectives. Her most recent book, Visibly Muslim: Fashion, Politics, Faith traces transformations in Muslim dress practices and the emergence of Islamic fashion in Britain (Berg 2010).
ABSTRACT
Visibly Muslim dress has in recent years become a focus of intensive media scrutiny and controversy, but very little attention has been paid to the wide range of new Islamic fashions emerging in the West. Based on her recent research on transformations in Muslim dress practices in Britain and Europe post 9/11, Emma Tarlo will explore how ideas of the Islamic are conceptualised by designers and wearers of Islamic fashion and how they are represented in online Islamic stores catering to Muslims in the West. How are ideas of fashion and faith integrated by a new generation of Western Muslims? And what role are new Islamic fashions playing in combating negative stereotypes of Muslims, transgressing national and ethnic boundaries and challenging the polarity often assumed between eastern and western, religious and secular modes of dress?

Czech Film Series 2010 – 2011
Wednesday September 29,
Jordan Hall A100 a
7:00 pm
Ladislav Rychman: The Hop Pickers(1964)
A group of teens are brought to the hop fields on a school-supervised trip. There’s lots of coed working (and singing!) during the day, but at night the girls and boys are separated into two different parts of an old farmhouse. The story picks up when one student finds a secret attic and moves his belongings up there, later to be discovered by the cute girl he really likes.
Rychman’s first musical tells a tale of teenage love and rebellion. Sometimes referred to as “The Hop Side Story,” the film is comparable to Western films of the 1960s.
In Czech with English subtitles. 88 minutes.
Introduced by Professor Bronislava Volkova.

THE GLEANERS AND I
(2000) 82 min
Departing from Jean-Francois Millet’s celebrated 1867 portrait of women picking through a harvested wheat field entitled “Les Glaneuses,” Agnes Varda constructs a modest and compassionate visual essay on the concept and lifestyle of “gleaning” or scavenging, once ubiquitous in rural 19th Century France. The film’s casual style
allows the intelligence, dignity, and honesty of the subjects to shine through as Varda herself pieces together a modern aesthetic and ideology of gleaning. With affectionate humor and searching intelligence, Varda points the camera at herself, marveling at her own process of aging and the gleaning that lies at the center of her own art and life.
October 6, 8-9:30 pm
RIVERS AND TIDES
(2001) 90 min.
Thomas Riedelsheimer’s film follows renowned sculptor Andy Goldsworthy as he creates with ice, driftwood, bracken, leaves, stone, dirt, and snow in open fields, beaches, rivers, creeks and forests. We see Goldsworthy as he works to understand the energetic flow in nature, represented often by water, by wind or simply the passage of seasons. Both carefully composed and fluid, RIVERS AND TIDES keeps its focus on the artist’s vision and work, giving us room to ponder our own relationship to the energy coursing through the natural world.

Michael Friedman (Stanford): A Post-Kuhnian Approach to the History and Philosophy of Science
Thursday Sep 23rd, 6 PM, Fine Arts 015
What I call the dynamics of reason is an essentially historical response to the challenge to the rationality and objectivity of science arising in the wake of Thomas Kuhn's theory of scientific revolutions. I concentrate on developments in the mathematical exact sciences from Newton to Einstein together with parallel developments in scientific philosophy from Kant to logical empiricism, and I aim to show that Kant's original conception of scientific objectivity and rationality can be relativized and historicized in such a way that a trans-historical version of such objectivity and rationality is nonetheless preserved. I now want to look in more detail at historical developments leading up to the Kantian synthesis so as to bring both theological issues (culminating in Newton's metaphysics of space and Kant's reaction to it) and cultural and institutional events involving the Church's very complex relationship to the new astronomy) into my historical narrative. Far from compromising the “purely intellectual” integrity of the scientific and philosophical developments taking place in this wider context, my expanded narrative rather underscores the central cultural importance of precisely these developments.

Monika Herzig
Friday, September 24, 12:00-1:00, IDS (SPEA 204)
Presentation: “Setting the Stage for Creativity: the Jazz Combo Model”.
Jazz music is a unique result of the American melting pot, often considered the ultimate medium for individual musical expression while also highly sensitive to group interaction. Throughout its historical development from the New Orleans red light districts to concert halls, from party music to art form, from segregation to worldwide integration, from musical illiteracy to integration into the University curricula, the model of the jazz combo combining improvisation with collaboration has proven successful as an incubator of innovation and creativity. As economic development increasingly depends on novel ideas and creative group interaction, the study of the dynamics of the jazz model and factors influencing the process of group creation could encourage new models of entrepreneurship and business innovation. Further study of these factors and transfer of the findings to motivate creative group interaction in business and science is encouraged as a tool for teaching entrepreneurship to the next generation.

Greetings IU Graduate Students,
I hope each of you are well rested from the summer break as the new semester is in full swing. I want to bring to your attention an opportunity to join a working group that addresses mental health issues amongst our graduate student population at IU. Although still in the early stages of its development, the Mental Health Working Group has a well-rounded agenda aimed at:
- Cataloguing current mental health resources that target graduate students' needs at IU and in Bloomington as a whole
- Identifying limitations and brainstorming solutions/strategies for rectifying these deficiencies
- Polling graduate students about what mental health needs are most pressing at IU
We hope you are enthusiastic about improving graduate student mental health at Indiana University and encourage all interested students to respond. If you have any questions or are interested in joining, please email me at rlatouch@indiana.edu. A group meeting is tentatively scheduled for September 23, 2010 from 5:00-6:00 p.m; in SISR (Schuessler Institute for Social Research) 100. Looking forward to hearing from you.

IUB Disability Roundtable
"It’s not how we communicate that’s important, but that we communicate!”
An Accessible University presentation by Dr. Erna Alant
Wednesday, September 15th
Noon to 1:00 pm
IMU - Oak Room
The inability to express oneself through speech goes to the heart of human relationships. However, communication is a two-way process and partially depends on the ability of the communication partner to facilitate interaction with those who have severe speech difficulties. Students with severe speech and communication issues are enrolling in higher ed more frequently these days, and often use augmentative alternative communication. This presentation will discuss the different ways students with severe speech difficulties can supplement their communication. Different communication strategies will be identified and guidelines provided for how to interact with people who have little or no speech.
Guest presenter will be Dr. Erna Alant from IU’s Department of Curriculum and Instruction in the School of Education. Originally from South Africa, Dr. Alant joined IU in 2009 as the Otting Endowed Chair in Special Education. With degrees in the field of Speech- Language Pathology, she was professor in Communication Psychology at the University of Pretoria prior to coming to IU. At Pretoria, she founded the Centre for Augmentative and Alternative Communication (CAAC), a unique graduate training and research facility in Africa. Her research endeavors over the past 18 years have focused largely on the development of relevant communication systems for people who have no or little speech within poverty contexts.

Fear of a Bleak Planet: Rapping About Race, Poverty, and the Environment
Event: Panel Discussion and Exhibit Opening Reception
Where: Neal-Marshall Black Culture Center
When: October 4, 2010 from 5:00-7:00 p.m. (Grand Hall)
October 4-31, 2010 Exhibit (Bridgwaters Lounge)
Departmental Sponsors: Archives of African American Music and Culture, College of Arts and Sciences, College Arts and Humanities Institute
Description:
Hip hop is a complex cultural, social, and political movement that emerged during the post-civil rights era when the urban economy was on a steep decline, governmental support programs were being dismantled, drug abuse was on the rise, and violent crime rates reached alarming heights. Out of this increasingly desolate landscape, rap music arose as a voice of protest, offering commentary on the bleak environment and socio-political issues affecting inner-city communities. Over the past 30 years the movement has grown exponentially.
Presented by the Archives of African American Music and Culture, this exhibit and panel discussion will examine issues of sustainability—including social and racial equality, economic needs, and environmental racism—through the lens of hip hop. Featured panelists include hip hop scholars Fernando Orejuela and Cheryl Keyes. The event is part of the COAS Themester focus on “Sustain.ability: Thriving on a Small Planet” and Indiana University Libraries Archives and Special Collection Month.
Bio:
Dr. Fernando Orejuela is a Senior Lecturer in IU’s Department of Folklore and Ethnomusicology and adjunct faculty in the Department of African American and African Diaspora Studies. He is currently completing a textbook on hip hop culture to be published by Prentice Hall.
Dr. Cheryl Keyes, Professor of Ethnomusicology in the Department of Ethnomusicology at UCLA, is the author of Rap Music and Street Consciousness, which received a CHOICE award for outstanding academic books in 2004.
