Two of the many choices for what to do tonight include chances to fill in gaps in what we know. One at UAA and one at APU (and noon at the World Affairs Council.)
AT UAA:
Cyber Bullying:
Relevant Research lecture, Dr. Claudia Lampman
When Fri, October 15, 7pm – 8pmWhere Fine Arts Room, 150 (map)Description Dr. Claudia Lampman, UAA professor of psychology, is this fall's speaker for the College of Arts and Sciences Relevant Research Speaker Series. Dr. Lampman's studies were recently highlighted in The Chronicle of Higher Education. Her talk will review her own and others' research on the causes, consequences and frequency of contrapower harassment in education -- where a student (with seemingly less power) bullies or harasses a teacher or professor. Along with vivid examples of such bullying, she will offer practical suggestions for educators, parents and students on how to prevent and cope with these experiences. . .
AT APU:
What You Won't Learn about
Islam from Cable News
Nihal Awad, a major, national Muslim leader, will be in Anchorage at noon on Friday, October 15, to address the World Affairs Council.
He will also offer a free public lecture at APU Grant Hall at 7:00 PM FRIDAY.
Nihal Awad is a co-founder and national director of the Council of American Islamic Relations (the anti-defamation group for Muslims) in Washington D.C and is frequently consulted by American Presidents. We are fortunate to have him here in Anchorage. The WAC lecture is on Islamaphobia. The lecture at APU is FREE and will address "What you Won't Learn about Islam from Cable News". The World Affairs Council luncheon will take place at the Hilton Hotel; there is a cost for nonmembers.Someone from my bookclub alerted me to this one because we're reading No god but God: The Origins, Evolution, and Future of Islam by Reza Aslan this month.
When I was getting information about these two events (three actually if you count the World Affairs Council) I saw how much more is going on today at UAA - from stars to tutus, clay to music and the environment.
