Across Space/Through time
    The American Society for Ethnohistory, is association with the the Newberry
Library's D'Arcy McNickle Center for American Indian History announces its
annual meeting. This year's theme is, "Continuing Encounters: Across
Space/Through Time." It focuses attention on a process that has been integral to
the evolution of ethnohistorical scholarship over the course of the past decade.
Employed initially by scholars whose work emphasized the contact, colonial, and
early national periods, these explorations detailed the consequences of 1492 in
terms of complex cultural, social, spiritual, political, economic, microbial,
epidemiological, and ideational exchanges between Europeans and indigenous
peoples. Later works have shown that encounters are neither restricted to these
categories, nor bounded by space or time. They are global processes. They
preceded 1492. They continue.

 Celebrate Your Freedom to Read
The UIC University Library celebrates Banned Books Week, Sept. 26-Oct. 2.
"Banned Books Week acknowledges that even in a democratic society, the freedom
to read is frequently challenged," says Mary Case, university librarian. "We
hope to remind our community that we should not take that right for granted."
The second annual "Freedom to Read" open-microphone session will take place from
11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., Wed Sept. 29, on Lecture Center Plaza, 805 S. Morgan St.
Anyone who wants to read may choose a book that's been banned in any library or
school, select a brief passage and read it aloud. Readers may bring their own
book or borrow one from UIC's Richard J. Daley Library, 801 S. Morgan St.
During Banned Books Week, the Daley Library will display recently challenged
books on the first floor and a Freedom to Read exhibit on the second floor.
The 100 most frequently challenged books are listed on the American Library
Association Web site at
http://www.ala.org/ala/oif/bannedbooksweek/bbwlinks/100mostfrequently.htm.
The list includes modern classics like "To Kill a Mockingbird" and "Of Mice and
Men." The entire Harry Potter series ranks high, as does the youth
science-fiction classic "A Wrinkle in Time."

The theme of the First International Congress of Qualitative Research focuses on
"Qualitative Inquiry in a Time of Global Uncertainty." We call on the
international community of interpretive scholars to gather together in common
purpose to address the implications of the recent attempts by federal
governments and their agencies to define what is 'good science', and what
constitutes 'good scholarship'. Around the globe governments are attempting to
regulate interpretive inquiry by enforcing bio-medical, evidence-based models of
research.
