Ignite instructors speak at library conference
April 15, 2010
Learning Communities are really taking off and everyone wants to know how they work.
On April 9, Laura Mongiovi, Steve Voguit and Katherine Owens presented a session at the Florida Library Association conference entitled “Embedded Librarians: Collaboration and Learning Communities.” In this presentation they discussed the origins of the Learning Community, how each participant got involved and how they worked together. They also discussed what went well during the semester and what went wrong, with a heavy emphasis on the nature of embedded librarianship because it was a library conference.
The session was well attended with over 50 attendees, and a number of attendees either asked questions or stayed after the session ended to talk to the panelists.
The History of Race and the Ideology of Superiority
January 26, 2010
Join us for a presentation and discussion entitled “The History of Race and the Ideology of Superiority.”
On Thursday, Jan. 28, at 7 p.m. in the Student Center Virginia Room, sociology professor Dr. Casey Welch and communication professor Dr. Kristine Warrenburg will give short presentations on how the idea of race emerged and changed over the course of history. Following the presentations, the event will open up into a discussion on the many facets of race. Depending on direction of the conversation, we may cover historical measures of race, legal definitions of race, and the effects of race on both minority and majority groups.
This event is free and open to the public. Students and faculty are encouraged to attend.
This is the second of a six-part series, “Commemorating Dr. King and Celebrating Black History Month.” Events will be held on the next five Thursdays at 7 p.m. in the Ringhaver Student Center. Announcements will be sent for each forthcoming event. All events are co-sponsored by Dr. Welch, Student Activities and the Ringhaver Student Center.
If you have any questions, please contact Casey Welch at (904) 826-8544 or Grant Nielson at (904) 819-6365.
Mock Legislative Debates
January 25, 2010
In a series of mock legislative debates, students will research and work with legislators on controversial real-world issues.
Participating students will research controversial issues and submit papers that objectively address multiple sides of the dispute. Topics include free speech, prostitution, water conservation, welfare, eugenics and capital punishment.
Then students receive a proposed statute related to the issue, and they will take one side and engage in a partisan debate, either endorsing or opposing the bill. Prior to this Mock Legislative Debate, they will have received training from a former member of Florida’s congress.
The debates are open to the public and will take place April 13 and 15 from 9:30 a.m. to 12:15 p.m and April 20 from 8 to 9 :45 a.m. The location of this program has not been announced.
Contact Chris Moser at (904) 826-8542 or Casey Welch at (904) 826-8544 for more information.
