Monday March 26  thru Friday March 30, 2007
IUN Moraine Center
9:30 am to 7:30 pm (until 1 pm on Friday)
There will be about ten thousand recently donated books on almost every topic
imaginable: fiction (classic to pulp), social and natural sciences, humanities,
nursing, education, etc.  We'll have many not too old textbooks (and some real
old ones) to help with classes, and books on various subjects that might help or
inspire that term paper you've been putting off starting on.  Stock up on summer
reading now!  We will even have a few anthropology books.  And ALL books are one
dollar!  And there are quantity discounts!  We will continue to put out more
books all week long.  So come early, browse often.  All books 50 cents on Friday.
Sponsored by the IUN student Anthropology Club and open to everyone; majority of
funds raised will be used for the Anthropology Club  scholarship, for academic
achievement awards, for stipends to send IUN students to summer field schools,
for student field trips, and to bring speakers to campus; from last year's funds
we also bought specimens for the IUN Anthro Resource Center.  If you wish to
donate books for the sale, please bring them to the sale itself, or if you have
a large quantity, stop by the sale or call us and we can pick them up from your
car or office.  All year long there are two drop boxes for books, one in the
Moraine Lobby near the vending area, and one in Savannah near the bookstore.

2) AT IU SOUTH BEND:
Professor, poet, and novelist Mohja Kahf will be reading from her works and
talking about life as a Muslim at 6 p.m. Monday, Jan. 29, in Room 1001, Wiekamp
Hall, Indiana University South Bend.   A reception and book signing will follow.
The evening is free and open to the public.
Kahf's talk  will have two parts: A lecture titled "Burqas, Bras, and
Battlezones:  The Varied Tales of the Veil," and a reading from her 2006 novel,
The Girl in the Tangerine Scarf.  This event provides the IU South Bend
community and the community at large with an opportunity to listen, learn, and
reflect on the diverse experiences of U.S. Muslims.  The talk's focus on the
"veil" is a way into the broader topic of (re)considering misunderstandings and
meanings of  Islam in the U.S. from non-Muslim and Muslim perspectives.
 As well as being a gifted poet and writer, Kahf is a professor of comparative
literature and Middle East and Islamic Studies at the University of Arkansas.
Her writings examine the lives of Muslim women in academic writing and in poetry.
Her visit is sponsored by Women's Studies, Academic Affairs, International
Programs, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the MLS Program, the
Departments of English and Sociology/Anthropology and the South Bend Chapter of
AAUW. The event is part of the year's campus theme of diversity and dialogue.
Kahf's first novel, "The Girl in the Tangerine Scarf," takes readers into the
world of Khadra Shamy, who grows up in a devout Muslim family in the middle of
Indiana - an experience Kahf describes as taking place at the "intersection of
Islamic dress and bad polyester during the 1970s."  Khadra continually questions
what it means to be "Muslim" and "American" as she endures taunts and violence.
  She says the book borrows from her life but is not autobiographical.
Kahf was born in Damascus, Syria, and grew up near Indianapolis. She received
her doctorate in comparative literature from Rutgers University in 1994, and
began teaching at the University of Arkansas in 1995.
Kahf's E-mail from Scheherazad was a finalist in the Paterson Poetry Prize. Her
poetry has been published in The Paris Review, The Atlantic Review, Banipal,
Mizna, Tiferet and Exquisite Corpse.   She is at work on a collection of short
stories and a novella based on her column, "Sex and the Ummah," written for the
online magazine Muslim Wakeup!

3C)  A UIC Great Cities Institute Faculty Scholar Seminar:
Tuesday, January 23, 2007 1 pm
The Changing Nature of Spatial, Linguistic and Cultural Communities
An interdisciplinary panel will look at three key areas in which communities get
constituted, contested and ultimately reconfigured.  One is the struggle over
real geographic spaces: neighborhoods, public spaces and public institutions.
The second is an examination of the ways in which individuals who speak two
languages create a third linguistic "space" that challenges the communicative
monolingual norms of both languages.  The third is the efforts by civic
organization to create common spaces and forums that forge new publics and
counter-publics.
The Panelists:
John Betancur, Associate Professor, Urban Planning and Policy Program
UIC College of Urban Planning and Public Affairs
Kimberly Potowski, Assistant Professor, Department of Spanish, French, Italian
and Portuguese
UIC College of Liberal Arts and Sciences
