Scholarly Writing Retreat

May 17-19, 2010
Dunrovin Retreat Center

Faculty: do you wish you had uninterrupted time to write / work on scholarship? The Committee on Faculty Development and the Scholarly Writers Group is sponsoring a short scholarly working/writing retreat at Dunrovin designed to allow faculty some time away from campus to focus entirely on scholarship. There is no schedule attached to this retreat - it is simply time and space to work on scholarship.

The retreat will take place Monday, May 17 at 1pm (after lunch) through Wednesday, May 19 at 1pm (after lunch). The cost will be $177 + tax, including meals. There are 8 spaces left.

At this point, we are not expecting to be able to offer any subsidies, but if there are funds left over from the Life of Mind Retreat, we hope to be able to apply them.

Each week features one faculty or two students presenting their current research, finished research product(s), and/or insights on the process of conducting research or engaging in creative activity at a liberal arts college.

"Hip Hop: Beyond Beats and Rhymes" Friday at WRC

The Women's Resource Center would like to invite you to Feminist Film Friday on Feb. 12th from 3:30-5:30 in the WRC (SVE 207).

We will be watching "Hip-Hop: Beyond Beats and Rhymes." "Sparking dialogue on hip-hop and its declarations on gender, HIP-HOP: Beyond Beats and Rhymes provides thoughtful insight from intelligent, divergent voices including rap artists, industry executives, rap fans and social critics from inside and outside the hip-hop generation. The film includes interviews with famous rappers such as Mos Def, Fat Joe, Chuck D and Jadakiss and hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons; along with commentary from Michael Eric Dyson, Beverly Guy-Sheftall, Kevin Powell and Sarah Jones and interviews with young women at Spelman College, a historically black school and one of the nation's leading liberal arts institutions.

The film also explores such pressing issues as women and violence in rap music, representations of manhood in hip-hop culture, what today's rap lyrics reveal to their listeners and homoeroticism in hip-hop. A "loving critique" from a self-proclaimed "hip-hop head," HIP-HOP: Beyond Beats and Rhymes discloses the complex intersection of culture, commerce and gender through on-the-street interviews with aspiring rappers and fans at hip-hop events throughout the country."
-http://www.pbs.org/independentlens/hiphop/film.htm

Everyone is welcome! Free beverages are provided. So please join us...relax, watch, and discuss. Hope to see you there!

Xcel Energy Presentation on Wind Energy TODAY

In 2008, Augsburg College, as a result of a student-led initiative, made the decision to purchase 100% wind power from Xcel Energy. Funded through a student fee and additional payments from the college's operating budget, we now are supposed to be getting all our electricity from wind power. But what does that actually mean? What is the current status of the program? What impact does this have on the greenhouse gas emissions for the college? What is that fee paying for? Join the students in ENV 100: Environmental Connections, on Tuesday, Feb. 9 from 1:30-2:30, in the Minneapolis Room, for a conversation with Steve Mudd of Xcel Energy, who will talk about the Windsource program and its impact on our campus energy purchasing.
