Dr. Colin Irvine Named URGO Research Coordinator

URGO is pleased to announce that Colin Irvine, Associate Professor of English, will serve as the URGO 2012 Summer Research Coordinator, taking over most of the responsibilities previously performed by Dixie Shafer, URGO Director.

Colin Irvine is a logical and inspired choice on many levels: (1) he boasts an active scholarly record, including publication of a book, several book chapters and numerous journal articles, along with too-many-to-list conference and invited presentations, many with intriguing titles, such as "Teaching like a Mountain: The Aldo Leopold Papers Project" or "Hollywood's Response to Climate Change: Starring Dennis Quaid, Jake Byllenhaal, and Al Gore," and more with conventional titles, such as "Wallace Stegner's Novelization of the American West and Western" or "Problems with Peer Review and What These Indicate About the Status of the Workshop and How Well These Work in College Composition Courses," (2) he has a distinguished record of successfully mentoring whole groups of students in the classroom through the research process, via his Aldo Leopold Project, and with "The Honors Review," 3) he has successfully sheparded several URGO summer researchers who have gone on to top-tier graduate programs and won Fulbright awards, (4) through scholarship and practice, Colin has exhibited a zest, verging on zaniness for building strong learning communities, an important goal for the URGO summer research program; (5) he was awarded a Fulbright Roving Scholar award to Norway last year, making him a role model for students considering national fellowship competitions, and perhaps most notably, (6) he won the MN Father of the Year Award, suggesting that he has solid (or at least unique) parenting skills which he can employ as needed when mentoring a summer research cohort.

Please send congratulations his way and any suggestions you have for making URGO summer research even stronger.

The Humanities and Democracy
Martha Nussbaum's Not for Profit: Why Democracy Needs the Humanities, organized by Marty Stortz and Merilee Klemp.

In this brief, but rich book, Martha Nussbaum argues the importance of the humanities to democracy. She believes that Americans increasingly treat education as though its primary goal were to teach students to be economically productive rather than to think critically and become knowledgeable and empathic citizens. She argues that this focus on profitable skills has eroded our ability to criticize authority, reduced our sympathy with the marginalized and different, and damaged our competence to deal with complex global problems. The loss of these basic capacities jeopardizes the health of democracy.

Faculty and staff are invited to participate in sessions to discuss this book and take a trip to St. Scholastica in Duluth, MN to hear Nussbaum lecture on February 23rd. By asking faculty/staff to lead each session, we hope not only to discuss her thesis, but to demonstrate it. Remaining sessions will be held:

January 31, OGC 100, 3:40-5:00 pm –3: Educating Citizens and 4: Socratic Pedagogy (Phil Adamo & Matt Haines)
February 7, OGC 100, 3:40-5:00 pm - 5: Citizens of the World and 6. Cultivating Imagination (John Schmit)
February 21, OGC 100, 3:40-5:00 pm –Implications for Augsburg (Marty Stortz & Merilee Klemp)
February 23, 7:30 pm, Mitchell Auditorium, St. Scholastica, Duluth, MN – "Why Democracy Needs the Humanities" (Martha Nussbaum)

To register for this book group, please contact Sarah Hedstrom (hedstrom@augsburg.edu).

Social Learning
David Brooks’ The Social Animal: The Hidden Sources of Love, Character, and Virtue; led by Jacqui DeVries.

Wednesday, January 25, 12:15-1:15, OGC 100 – Ch. 1-6
Thursday, February 23, 3:10-4:30, OGC 100 – Ch. 7-12
Wednesday, March 28, 12:15-1:15, OGC 103 – Ch. 13-18
Thursday, April 19, 3:10-4:30, OGC 100 – Ch. 19-22

New York Times columnist Brooks attempts in The Social Animal to explain why so many of our contemporary social problems and inequalities have proven so intractable. Weaving insights from sociology, psychology, history and brain science into an engaging narrative reminiscent of Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s Emile (a classic study of how people learn), Brooks tries to "explain how these findings about the deepest recesses of our minds should change the way we see ourselves, raise our kids, conduct business, teach, manage our relationships and practice politics." His work is certainly not without critics, but his insights and findings can be valuable to educators, who grapple on a daily basis with the implications of his observation that "we're not rational animals, or laboring animals; we're social animals. We emerge out of relationships and live to bond with each other and connect to larger ideas."

Yum! Feb. 11 is Girl Scout Cookie Go Day

Thin Mints, Do Si Dos, Tagalongs, Samoas, Trefoils, Thank U Berry Munch, Dulce De Leche, and Savannah Smiles (replacement for Lemon Chalet Creme in honor of the 100th anniversary of Girl Scouting)

My name is Lauren and I am selling Girl Scout Cookies again this year. Our troop goal is 600 boxes and we will be using the money to go to spring camp and to buy supplies for our Bronze Award activities. The Bronze Award is the highest award a Girl Scout Junior can earn and our community project to earn this award is to develop a relationship with the residents at a local senior living center. We spend time with them reading, talking, playing Bingo, and making crafts, and we plan to build a portable garden cart to move between the rooms.

If you would like to order cookies, please send your email address to GSTroop12899@hotmail.com and we will send out an online order email on Feb 11th - the first day cookies go on sale! We will deliver on Tuesdays/Thursdays around 4pm and anytime between 9am-8pm on Saturdays. If those times do not work, we can make other arrangements.

The price is $3.50 per box and payment is due on delivery.

We are also accepting cookie donations for the US Troops and the ICA Food Shelf.
Thanks!
