2d)  The Women’s Studies Movie Club will be showing The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants on Friday, January 20, 2006 at 5 pm in the Savannah Auditorium.  All are welcome!
The movie is based on the young adult book, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, by Anne Brashares. As four best friends spend their first summer apart from one another, they share a magical pair of jeans. Despite being of various shapes and sizes, each one of them fits perfectly into the pants. To keep in touch they pass these pants to each other as well as the adventures they are going through while apart.

2f)  AUGUST HUMAN CADAVER PROSECTION PROGRAM
Indiana University School of Medicine-Northwest
3400 Broadway, Gary
APPLICATION DEADLINE:    MAY 1, 2006.
PROGRAM SPONSOR:  ZIMMER, Inc. (Zimmer Orthopedics)
**** Human Cadaver Dissection **** **** Radiology **** **** Orthopedic Surgery Demonstrations ****
The Cadaver Prosection and application forms pages are now live on the IUSM-NW Web Site. The Cadaver Prosection page is linked to the IUSM-NW front page.  The URL for the page is http://shaw.medlib.iupui.edu/nwcme/cp.html
Each year individuals bequeath their bodies to be used for medical education and basic science/clinical research.  This is the most profound gift that any individual can offer.  Cadaver donors used for medical education must be prepared for student doctors.  To facilitate this, the course director at the IUSM-Northwest created the Human Cadaver Prosection Program.  This program recruits individuals interested in medical school and/or clinical/basic
sciences, and introduces them to working with a human cadaver (i.e., the very first patient of every physician).  A relaxed, but respectful, environment is provided where participants learn the anatomy of the human body and develop skills for professional dissection.  Furthermore, participants must communicate their knowledge of anatomy (and dissection) through discussion at the cadaver, and begin to develop an understanding of human anatomy through the use of various X-ray films, MRIs, CTs, models and laboratory specimens.  Finally, the program stresses the need for competent health care professionals in medicine and in all areas of society.  The Human Cadaver Prosection Program will take place in the newly constructed gross anatomy laboratory at the IUSM-Northwest. The objectives of this program are:
1.    to introduce participants to the gross anatomy laboratory and the medical school environment;
2.    to introduce participants to working with human cadaver specimens;
3.    to educate participants about the gross anatomy of the upper and lower extremities in the human body and the use of skilled dissection using human cadaver donors, educational videos and DVDs; radiographic technology; anatomical models and specimens;
4.    to introduce participants to the role(s) of corporations in healthcare, to stress the need for physicians and healthcare professional to communicate with corporations to enhance collaborative research and patient care.
Participants.    Participants have primarily been recruited by the course director and by referral.  Participants constitute a diverse population of faculty, undergraduate students, graduate students, medical students, allied health care professionals, physicians; basic scientists, and others.  The maximum number of participants is twenty-five (25).  Each will receive a Certificate of Completion
and Letter.   Any individual desiring to participate must submit an application inclusive of a written statement discussing the reason(s) why participation in human cadaver prosection is desired.  Additionally, all participants must meet individually with the course director prior to acceptance into the program. This meeting
serves as an interview, and informs the participant of the strict guidelines and rules set forth by the Anatomical Gift Society.  By completion of this process, the applicant, if accepted into the program, agrees to be present for both days of prosection.  For this session, prosection is tentatively scheduled for Wednesday, August 2 and Thursday, August 3, 2006.  A detailed dissection guide and a handout discussing anatomical terminology are given to the accepted participant so that he/she may prepare for this program (i.e., preparation is expected).

January 30      RASHOMON (Japan, 1950) Dir., Akira Kurosawa, with Toshira Mifune.  This is the film that brought Japanese cinema to the west.
    

3) CHICAGO AREA EVENTS:

3a) Tuesday, January 17, 2006 at 3:00 p.m.   Public Lecture
"Queer Desi , Pardesi : Marking the Boundaries of Cultural Belonging in America"
by Gayatri Reddy, Assistant Professor, Gender and Women's Studies Program, Department of Anthropology
Over the last decade, a growing South Asian or desi gay and lesbian community and movement has emerged in the U.S. Individuals involved in this cultural formation stake their claim both as members of an ethnic, sexual and religious minority in America, and as cultural/political citizens of a transnational world. Drawing on the narratives of self-identified South Asian gay men currently living in Chicago , this project explores the various tensions evident in constructions of South Asian sexual identity, community, and the politics of citizenship in America today. If, as Alberto Melucci contends, contemporary social movements are “prophets of the present,” then an analysis of the diasporic desi gay community and movement in Chicago can perhaps teach us something not just about the politics of sexuality and identity-formation in immigrant communities, but as importantly, about broader constructions of class, race, ethnicity, and the cultural politics of Otherness in contemporary America.

4)  INDIANA EVENTS:
4a) Bloomington:
The Department of Anthropology Presents:
A Talk By: Dr. Gregory D. Wilson
Tuesday, January 17, 2006 5:00pm
Glenn Black Lab Auditorium (423 N. Fess)
"Between Plaza and Palisade:  Household and Community Organization at Early Moundville"
This talk explores the ties between everyday village life and the origins of social stratification during the early Mississippian period (AD 1120-1260) occupation of the Moundville polity in west-central Alabama. Current archaeological understandings of Moundvilles political complexity are based primarily on the study of monumental architecture and mortuary ceremonialism. Little is known about how everyday domestic practices produced and were produced by broader networks of power and inequality in the region.  This dissertation addresses this gap in our understanding by analyzing and interpreting large-scale architectural and ceramic data sets from domestic contexts.


4b)  Could you get the word out about the following?
James C. Chatters, author of Ancient Encounters, Kennewick Man and the First Americans, will be speaking to the Falls of the Ohio Archaeological Society (FOAS) and other interested public on Wednesday, January 25.  All are welcome! I would confirm the time, but I believe it to be 7:00 in the evening.  The lecture will be held at the Falls of the Ohio State Park Interpretive Center auditorium in Clarksville, Indiana, just across the river from Louisville. Because the center is usually closed at that time, a small admission may be charged by the  Indiana Department of Natural Resources.
Jim Chatters is a recent hire of AMEC Earth & Environmental, Inc.  He will occupy  AMEC's  offices in Kirkland, Washington where he is tasked with growing the cultural resources business in the northwest.
