1)  Education and Anthropology talk at IUN
 Anthropology is the only discipline that investigates the
origin and nature of human diversity -- both biological
diversity and cultural diversity.   Given that there is so
much emphasis on teaching about diversity in the school
systems, why don't they teach anthropology in high schools
and grade schools?

"Placing Anthropology in Local Schools: A Collaborative
Effort" an illustrated talk by Dustin Cantrell, Friday,
February 20, 2004, at 5 pm in Savannah 207.

Professor Cantrell is a new adjunct lecturer in anthropology
at IUN and recently received an MA in Anthropology from Ball
State University in Muncie, Indiana. He is presently
employed at the Great Cities Institute of the University of
Illinois at Chicago (more info on GCI at
http://www.uic.edu/cuppa/gci/ ). About the talk, Dustin
says: "This focuses on my thesis research. I will begin with
a short history about the role (or lack thereof) of    
anthropology in pre- collegiate education. Then I will
discuss the design, implementation, and results of the PALS
project. I will end with some thoughts on future
research/programs on this topic."  We will have the usual
Friday event Format: Anthro Club meeting at 4 pm, talk at 5
pm, and pizza and soda with the questions for the speaker at
about 6:30 pm. Everything is free and open to the public.

1A) anthropology club
Over 75 people attended the Darwin Day talks (not all at once, but total over the three hours).  Thanks to all of our speakers; the quality of the talks was quite high.  The event T shirts will continue to be available; come to the book sale in March, or send me an email if you cannot wait that long; picture of the shirt is at http://www.iun.edu/~socnw/faculty/ just scroll down that page.

2C) CAPA meeting on Anthropology and Public Policy
Sunday February 29, 2004 at 2250 N. Sheffield Avenue,
DePaul University's Student Center in room 270 from
3:00pm to 5:00pm
Our speaker will be Kendall M. Thu, Professor of
Anthropology at Northern Illinois University, and
Chair of the American Anthropological Society's
Committee on Public Policy.  Professor Thu will
provide an overview of the activities of this
committee and of the many issues it is facing.  More
importantly, both CAPA and Professor Thu are looking
forward to a stimulating conversation about the ways
in which anthropologists may more constructively       
contribute to the solution of social problems through
public policy.
The AAA Committee on Public Policy has a new webpage
at http://www.aaanet.org/committees/ppc/brief.htm.  It
is hoped that those attending will have a chance to
peruse this page and its links. It will be of great
benefit to the discussion with Professor Thu if those
attending are prepared to give feedback on the
webpages or on the substantive issues of public policy
addressed in those pages.
All those interested in the relationship between
anthropology and public policy are urged to attend.
The discussion should be of interest not only to
anthropologists but also practitioners in policy areas
such as public health, education, the environment,
information technology, and global development.  As
always, students are welcome.
Following the meeting we will continue the
conversation at Fiesta Mexicana, 2423 North Lincoln.

See and hear first-hand accounts of young Chicagoans reflecting on city life.
Since 1995, non-profit arts organization Street-Level Youth Media has been providing Chicago's inner city youth with new opportunities for self-expression. This Chicago-based group puts the latest media arts technology such as video production, animation, and computer arts in the hands of urban youth. These young Chicagoans- a demographic historically neglected by policy makers and the mass media- utilize these new technologies as tools for self-expression, social change, and education.
Nearly a dozen videos produced entirely by Chicago's urban youth in collaboration with Street-Level Youth Media address issues like gentrification, urbanism, racism, and community in this provocative exhibition. Also featured will be information on Street-Levels powerful anti-gun violence campaign, including a nearly full-scale reproduction of one of the campaigns impressive billboards.
This exhibition was developed by Street-Level Youth Media in collaboration with The Field Museum.
