1. Catalyzing Advocacy for Science and Engineering (CASE) Workshop
As has been done in previous years, again the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) is offering a program entitled Catalyzing Advocacy for Science and Engineering (CASE).
CASE is an entry-level program organized to educate graduate students who are interested in learning about the role of science in policy-making and the federal policy-making process and to empower them with ways to become a voice for basic research throughout their careers. We had four students participate last year and they all found the experience to be enormously rewarding.
To be eligible to participate in the CASE Workshop, students
- Biological, physical, or earth sciences
- Computational sciences and mathematics
- Engineering disciplines
- Medical and health sciences
- Social and behavioral sciences
Students from foreign countries are eligible if they are studying here in the U.S.
The 2020 CASE Workshop is scheduled for March 29 - April 1, 2020 in Washington, DC. The University of Minnesota has the opportunity to nominate up to four students to attend. The University is responsible for paying the $250 registration fee and all associated travel and lodging expenses. As in the past, the Graduate School will pay the registration fee and 50% of associated expenses for U of MN graduate students to participate, with colleges paying the other 50% (the cost to colleges has been about $800/student).

2. GWSS Colloquium Series "The Permanent Sense of Diaspora in my Body" -- Dr. Lila Sharif
Our last GWSS colloquium event in Fall 2019 features Dr. Lila Sharif, from the University of Illinois, Urbana- Champaign. Dr. Sharif's talk (which will take place on Friday, December 6th at 1:30 PM at Walter Library 401/402) is titled "'The permanent sense of the diaspora in my body': Narrating Resistance and Displacement in Mary Hazboun's Art of Weeping through a Feminist Refugee Epistemology."
Brief Abstract
How do refugees narrate displacement at this critical juncture of empire, and how does a feminist refugee epistemology (FRE) enable us to think dimensionally, creatively, globally, and intersectionally about the colonial, racial and imperial violences that inform their "flight" to begin with? This talk explores these questions based on an interview with Chicago-based Palestinian artist, Mary Hazboun, and her collection The Art of Weeping.
Biography
Lila Sharif has a dual Ph.D. in Sociology and Ethnic Studies, and is assistant professor of Asian American Studies at the University of Illinois, Urbana - Champaign. Her collective work is concerned with bringing indigenous peoples and refugees to the forefront of scholarship and public discourse in an effort to rethink global inequalities, war and militarization, environmental justice, displacement, and anti colonial struggle. Sharif has published in the Critical Ethnic Studies Journal, JMEWS, Verge (forthcoming), and Bloomsbury Academic (forthcoming). Her forthcoming book Olive Insurrections is an ethnographically-driven indigenous critique of the globalization of olive commodities from Palestine. She is co-founding member of the Critical Refugee Studies Collective.

Fiction & Films
African Experience of Migration in Fiction & Films
Spring 2020: Tuesdays 02:45 pm - 05:30 pm
This course addresses the key issues that arise in contemporary immigration and global security debates, with a particular focus on European destinations and European immigration and asylum policies. Throughout the course of the semester, we will interrogate the literary and audio-visual arts as a mirror of the times, reflecting socio-political conditions. In a bid to place the current “crisis” in a historical and gendered perspective, we will examine select works by African writers, filmmakers and artists, which provide examples enabling us to move beyond stereotypes and common assumptions.
