Upcoming Events: "The Reporter" and "The Warrior Ape"

The 2011-2012 College of Arts and Sciences Symposium Against Global Indifference series will conclude with a two-night series of events.

On Tuesday, April 10th at 7:00pm in the HCSC Auditorium, the documentary "The Reporter" will be shown and a panel discussion will follow the screening.  "The Reporter" is a feature documentary about Nicholas D. Kristof, the two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist for the New York Times, who almost single-handedly put the crisis in Darfur on the international radar.  In the summer of 2007, Kristof traveled to the Democratic Republic of the Congo to shine his light into the darkest pockets of conflict, in hopes of making the rest of the world take notice.  The film injects the viewer into Kristof's riveting journey.

On Wednesday, April 11th at 7:00pm in the Upper Convocation Center, science journalist Thomas Hayden will be giving a talk titled "The Warrior Ape: God, Biology, and the Hope for Global Peace."  Tom will be speaking Wednesday night about the biological basis of human violence and how this information can be used to help society become more peaceful.  In Tom's own writing:  "Humans have fought wars since our earliest days as a species, but the biological roots of war don’t condemn us to a future as violent as our past. By understanding the evolution of both warfare and religion, we can help craft a future where war is less frequent, and less brutal when it does occur."  Tom has a Masters degree in marine science (with a focus on marine plankton and biological oceanography), work experience at multiple magazines such as Newsweek, US News and World Report, National Geographic and Wired, and currently freelances and teaches science journalism at Stanford.

Upcoming Event: "What Native Americans and Indigenous Peoples Can Teach Us About Globalization"

Thomas Hall argues that the history of survival of Native Americans and of Indigenous Peoples has continuing relevance for all human futures and that such a history can suggest pointers to future survival.  Rather than simply imitating the actions of the past, contemporary struggles can draw inspiration and hope for their own contexts.

Thomas Hall has published extensively on the topics of Indigenous Peoples and globalization.  Some of his recent work includes a co-authored book "Indigenous Peoples and Globalization: Resistance and Revitalization" (pictured here), a book chapter titled "Ethnogenesis" in the book "Routledge Companion to Race and Ethnicity", and the article "Indigenous Movements and Globalization: What is Different? What is the Same?" in the journal Globalizations.

Upcoming Event: "Away is a Place"

On Thursday, March 15, Colby Self, Green Ship Recycling Campaign Director, Basal Action Network, Seattle, WA.  Mr. Self will present a talk titled “Away is a Place.”  This lecture will be at 7:30 PM in the Trustee’s Room, Upper Convocation Center.   It is free and open to the public. 

This lecture will “speak to the realities of our globalized economy, realities that are often overlooked in traditional economic value assessments. We will focus on the issue of toxic trade, and in particular the examples of the global shipbreaking industry and the mounting e-waste crisis that arises due to the ease by which current trade rules, or lack thereof, facilitate the externalization of costs to developing countries and the disproportionate burden of harm on them – environmental degradation, human health damage and human rights abuse. We will discuss the role of the Basel Convention and market strategies to internalize costs of hazardous waste production upstream and at source. In this age of mass consumerism and post-consumer wastes now flooding across national borders, we are all part of the problem, and thus we must all become part of the solution, always remembering that Away is a place that others call Home” (see essay at www.ban.org).

Mr. Self is an environmental policy analyst and Director of the Basel Action Network’s international ship recycling campaign. Working on human rights and environmental protection, he addresses the issue of environmental justice with the aim of developing fair and sustainable solutions to the world’s growing waste crises. His recent work on the international shipbreaking issue (see http://ban.org/ban_news/2011/110407_navy_abandons_plan_to_sink.html), a problem that has profound global economic, environmental and human health implications, recently took him to the 10^th Conference of the Parties (COP) to the United Nations Basel Convention in Cartagena, Colombia, where multilateral agreement was reached, decisions that will someday be remembered historically as the turning point for global waste trade.  

Mr. Self is also a social entrepreneur, working to establish innovative solutions that internalize costs of waste production to disincentivize the externalization of costs to emerging economies downstream. To this end, he is co-founder of Ecorate.com and the Automotive Science Group, both product rating platforms for consumer durable goods aimed to help consumers make better informed purchasing decisions. He has a B.S. from the University of Southern California’s School of Policy, Planning and Development, has been a Visiting Scholar at the University of Oxford, and is a select member of the Cambridge-MIT Institute Enterprisers Forum.

Upcoming Event: Bertin Meance Discusses "Helping Haiti from Home"

In 1988 in Ashland, there was no internet, email, Google, Facebook, text messaging, or Skype.  This made it difficult to help others around the world who were in need.  Now, because of this technology, many victims of the earthquake in Haiti were able to receive the humanitarian assistance they needed.

Bertin Meance's presentation, "Helping Haiti from Home: How Local Efforts can Support International Disaster Relief", will highlight how a remote community such as Lafond, Haiti received support.  He will talk about how his old classmates from Ohio and Vermont quickly raised support and allowed the community school he supports to reopen, even before the schools in the cities.  He will also discuss lessons that could be learned from the disaster relief provided to Haiti.

Who: Bertin Meance
What: Helping Haiti from Home: How Local Efforts can Support International Disaster Relief
When: February 21, 7:00pm

UNICEF estimates that one million children enter the sex trade every year and that 30 million children have suffered from the sex trade over   the past 30 years.  Remember Nhu began as the attempt of one individual from Akron, OH, Carl Ralston, to change this.  Remember Nhu exists to prevent the exploitation of children in the sex trade industry throughout the world by meeting children's physical, emotional, educational and spiritual needs.   

Today this Christian nonprofit organization that has established safe houses for children involved in the sex trade in Thailand, Cambodia, with plans to expand into India, the Philippines, and South Africa.  Carl's goal is to rescue the girls before they are sold into prostitution. After hearing about Nhu’s story of being sold to a brothel at age 12, Carl and his wife took many trips to Cambodia to try to find her.  Nhu now serves with the organization that shares her name, working to prevent other children from being trafficked. 

The founder, Carl Ralston, is coming to AU at on Feb. 7.  His evening presentation is at 7:00 pm in the Student Center Auditorium. His videographer and still photographer are also coming and will show two 7 minute films and will share and answer questions.
