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 must be enrolled full-time in an undergraduate (upper-class) or graduate degree program (including double majors) in one of the following fields:
- 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).
We ask that you please:
- Inform your students of this opportunity. Applicants must complete this form and submit a one-page resume and brief statement of interest (500 words max). Application deadline is January 24, 2020.
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.
3. International Conference on LGBT+ Psychology and Related Fields
The 3rd International Conference on LGBT+ Psychology and Related Fields will continue to be an invitation for the diverse scientific communities to spread, disseminate and debate research on LGBT+ topics, under the assumption that these topics may have political, social, and scientific implications.
The 3rd International Conference on LGBT+ Psychology and Related Fields will be held at ISPA – Instituto Universitário in Lisbon, Portugal. We will offer you a variety of inspirational keynote speakers, presentations and workshops. This conference is of interest to academics from any discipline whose research relates to psychology and/or LGBT+ people.
Please consider submitting your work to present at the conference. The call for proposals will be announced within the upcoming weeks.
4. UMN Climate Strike
Youth Climate Strikes is a global, youth-led movement demanding bold action to put an end to the climate crisis. On Friday, December 6th, there will be a global strike at schools, universities, and public official's offices to demand divestment from fossil fuels. UMN Climate Strike is hosting a campus strike on that day at the Riverbend Plaza (behind the student union) to demand that the university divests from fossil fuels and enacts more sustainable policies. We will meet on the plaza at noon, then at 12:30 march to Morrill Hall to sit in at President Gabel’s office. Please join us and make your voice heard.
5. Black & Pink Holiday Card Party
December 8th: 6-8pm
Boneshaker Books
2002 23rd Ave S,
Minneapolis, Minnesota 55404
The holidays can be especially hard for people in prison. Join us for an evening of card writing to share well-wishes and solidarity with our incarcerated LGBTQ comrades.

In addition to making cards, our goal is to bring together like-minded organizers and activists who are interested in prison abolition work. Many of us are doing this work already, and we hope this event can be a space to get us all in conversation about how we can better support one another.
Snacks will be provided. Childcare will also be available.

For the second half of the workshop, we'll turn to ways to prevent and intervene in this violence. CW: sexual violence; ableism.
Who: Lee Blair is a senior GWSS major who volunteered as a sexual violence crisis counselor for a year and a half.
