"Travel the Globe" will take place every second Saturday of the month from 10:30 to 11:30 AM in the new Washington Park Public Library (2121 N. Sherman Blvd., Milwaukee). Children and parents will listen to folk tales from the country featured that day, hear from an international student about his/her childhood, and play music or work with paper to make an artifact from the featured country. The event is free for children and their parents. The 2004 schedule:
The new millennium has seen expanding interest in justice issues that extend beyond national borders. Individuals, societal groups, nongovernmental organizations, governments, and international organizations have intensified calls for justice in economic, political, and social-cultural relations. Some calls seek to address the legacies of past abuses while others envision a step towards the broader redistribution of rights, privileges, and obligations on a global scale. This conference invites participation from scholars, policy makers, and practitioners interested in exchanging ideas and experiences on issues of challenges and paths to justice.
The conference organizers seek paper and roundtable proposals from diverse fields, methodologies, and backgrounds. Proposals must address some aspect of challenges to achieving justice beyond national borders, paths to addressing these challenges, and/or the ramifications of such issues for broader questions of conflict and peace. Proposals might focus on aspects of economic development and global inequality; issues of justice, security, and terrorism; issues of transnational environmental harm; aspects of transnational crime including migrant trafficking and the illicit drug trade; issues of international law and movement towards transnational protection of human rights; and efforts to achieve transitional justice in the aftermath of political regime change. Proposals might draw comparisons across these areas to explore the role of interest and advocacy groups, the media, government agencies, and international organizations. Proposals incorporating insights and parallels from the pursuit of justice at the local and national levels that can offer insights into issues of justice that extend beyond national borders are welcomed, as are theoretically informed proposals that explore the very concept of global social justice.
Proposal submissions must include contact
information and a brief (no more than 100 words) description of the paper topic
or interest in a roundtable theme. Send proposals by March 1, 2004 to Dr.
H. Richard Friman (h.r.friman@marquette.edu), Department
of Political Science, Marquette University, P.O. Box 1881, Milwaukee, WI
53201-1881, USA. The conference is sponsored by the Wisconsin Institute for
Peace and Conflict Studies and the Marquette University Institute for
Transnational Justice.
On March 5 and 6, 2004 Mount Mary will host a symposium that will bring specialists together with students, educators, and the public to study the many ways in which women can use their unique skills to resolve conflict on the personal, community, national, and international levels
A keynote address entitled, “Confronting Global Crisis: Can Women Lead the Way?” will be delivered on Friday evening by Jennifer Turpin, Ph.D., University of San Francisco. Dr. Turpin is a founding member of the University of San Francisco women’s studies program. She also coordinated the program for five years.

Focus: The symposium explores the relationship between the practice of international law and the conduct of foreign relations. How does international law affect policy, and policy affect the practice of international lawyers? How do international lawyers inside and outside government interact with policy makers? What channels of communication exist between those who teach international law in the academy and those who practice international law in various settings? How does the field of international law cope with the tension between theory and practice, commitment and realpolitik? What is the responsibility of the international lawyer within government when confronted with an apparent clash between policy and law? How do these issues affect the various roles played by international lawyers (judge, advisor, activist, academic)? How are these issues dealt with in different national political and legal cultures and traditions?
Participants: This symposium will bring 10 world-famous international lawyers from six countries to the UW campus. Participants include Philip Allott (Cambridge UK), Hilary Charlesworth (Australian National University), Jochen Frowein (Max Planck Institute, Heidelberg), David Kennedy (Harvard University), Martti Koskenniemi (University of Helsinki and Finnish Foreign Office), Nathaniel A. Berman (Brooklyn Law School), Liliana Obregon (University of Los Andes), William D. Rogers (Arnold & Porter and former U.S. Under Secretary of State), and Miriam Sapiro (Summit Strategies International, LLC and former U.S. National Security Council official). Thomas Franck, the Murry and Ida Becker Professor Emeritus at New York University Law School, and former President of the American Society of International Law, will serve as Honorary Chair. David M. Trubek, Voss-Bascom Professor of Law and Director of WAGE, will serve as Program Chair. Symposium papers will be published by the Wisconsin International Law Journal in a special issue.
Dedication: This symposium is dedicated to Professor Richard Bilder who has taught international law at the University of Wisconsin since 1965. It draws inspiration from Professor Bilder's seminal l962 article on "The Office of the Legal Adviser: The State Department Lawyer and Foreign Affairs," and subsequent work in this area, including his role as Rapporteur of the Joint Committee on the Role of the Legal Adviser of the Department of State.
Who is invited: Faculty and students at the University of Wisconsin, attorneys, policymakers, and the public.

The Selma Jeanne Cohen Fund enables a dance scholar to present a major paper at the Fulbright Association’s annual conference. The 2004 lecture will be delivered on Thursday, October 7, during the Fulbright Association’s 27th Annual Conference in Athens, Greece. The conference will be held in conjunction with an international meeting on Oct. 8 through 10 organized by the Association of Fulbright Scholars in Greece. The recipient of the Selma Jeanne Cohen Fund award will receive round-trip travel and associated expenses.
The 2004 lecturer will be chosen according to guidelines developed with the founder of the fund, Dr. Selma Jeanne Cohen, preeminent dance historian and founding editor of the International Encyclopedia of Dance. The competition is open to all dance scholars. Proposal guidelines are available from the Fulbright Association and are posted on its web site at http://www.fulbright.org/cohenfund.
Fulbright alumnus Wayne B. Kraft, researcher, choreographer, and performer of Transylvanian village dancing, presented the 2003 Selma Jeanne Cohen Lecture on Nov. 1 in Washington, D.C. Dr. Kraft, professor of German at Eastern Washington University and director of the Erdély Ensemble, spoke on “Transylvanian Dancing in the Final Hour.”
In 2002 Gretchen Ward Warren, professor in the School of Theater and Dance at the University of South Florida, presented “Dancing with the Wheel of Ever Returning: A Theatrical Adventure with Australian Aborigines and Native Americans,” a project that grew out of her Fulbright award to Australia in 1997.
In 2001 Robin Marshall Grove, senior lecturer in the Department of English with Cultural Studies of the University of Melbourne, Australia, delivered the lecture “Unspoken Knowledges,” about the project of the same name, which attracted from the Australian Research Council the largest grant ever awarded for performing arts research in Australia.
Fulbright alumna Leslie Friedman, artistic director of The Lively Foundation in San Francisco, presented the inaugural lecture, “Expression in Dance,” concerning research done during her Fulbright award to India on Indian dance and aesthetics.
The Fulbright Association is a private, non-profit
organization that supports and promotes the Fulbright Program, an international
educational and cultural exchange initiative created in 1946 by legislation
sponsored by the late Senator J. William Fulbright of Arkansas. There are
now over 250,000 Fulbright alumni throughout the world.

The Fulbright Visiting Specialists Program: Direct Access to the Muslim World will support 20 to 25 grants for visits of between two and six weeks by scholars and professionals from abroad. The Visiting Specialists may present lectures or short courses, team-teach with American colleagues, or assist in program and curriculum development in colleges and universities. They will also participate in public outreach programs, by speaking to community groups, service clubs, and religious and school groups.
Proposals will be accepted from liberal arts and minority-serving institutions with limited or no current programs on the Muslim world. Proposals will also be considered from larger institutions with established area studies programs that could benefit from a Visiting Specialist in a particular subject not currently offered but needed for program development. This program does not support research or language training.
Institutions may request a specific individual as a Visiting Specialist, in which case the institution must solicit a separate application from this individual. However, if an individual is not named, a successful proposal will be matched with a scholar from among former Fulbrighters who indicated an interest in participating in the program.
Fulbright grants will include air travel, in-transit allowance, per diem and an honorarium. Application deadline: April 15, 2004.

UPM MIS: Museum
Information System at the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and
Anthropology
http://www.museum.upenn.edu/MIS/
Since 1887, the University of Pennsylvania Museum
of Archaeology and Anthropology (UPM) has sponsored a number of extremely
valuable archaeological expeditions to sites on every inhabited continent. With
the significant financial generosity of the Mellon Foundation, the UPM has begun
the Museum Information System project in order to make a good portion of these
highly detailed archaeological field notes and other items (such as photographs
of artifacts) available online. So far, the museum has placed materials from
three sites online: the Minoan site of Gournia Crete, Pech de l'Aze IV, a Middle
Paleolithic site in France, and a pre-Columbian cemetery at Sitio Conte, Panama.
For each site, the people at the project have offered a brief introduction to
each expedition, along with offering digitized images of artifacts from each
site. In the case of Pech de l'Aze, the original field notebooks have been
digitized, and are available for general consideration on the website.
Churchill
and the Great Republic
http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/churchill/
The late Winston Spencer Churchill was many
things, including a fine diplomat, an excellent statesmen, and quite a
prodigious author. Of course, he was also a good friend to the United States,
and this online exhibit from the Library of Congress explores Churchill's long
relationship with the U.S., which he referred to as "the great Republic". With
generous funding from John W. Kluge (and the support of the Annenberg
Foundation), this exhibit is divided into a number of areas, such as those
dealing with the Cold War and World War II, and features digitized images of
Churchill with his grandson and as a dapper little boy, along with other visual
materials. The text that accompanies each section discusses such events as
Churchill's first visit to the US in 1895 and his second premiership in Britain,
which began in 1951. The site concludes with a listing of public programs being
held in conjunction with the in situ exhibit in Washington DC, and a list of
further reading material.
Children's Drawings of the Spanish Civil War: A Virtual
Exhibition Catalog
http://www.columbia.edu/cu/lweb/eresources/exhibitions/children/
Curated by Angela Giral, Emeritus Director of the
Avery Architectural Library at Columbia University, this web exhibition includes
153 drawings made by children aged 7 to 14 during the Spanish Civil War
(1936-1939). Children were evacuated from the war zones to war-free areas of
Spain and the south of France, and many of the drawings show children travelling
to these safer areas, as well as more shocking scenes of planes dropping bombs.
The largest group of these drawings (just over 600) is at the University of
California, San Diego's (UCSD) Mandeville Special Collections Library where they
have been made available online (http://orpheus.ucsd.edu/speccoll/tsdp/)
-- a collection annotated in the June 12, 1998 Scout Report (http://scout.wisc.edu/Reports/ScoutReport/1998/scout-980612.html).
In 1938, the American Friends Service Committee published some of the drawings
in a book, They Still Draw Pictures, with a forward by Aldous Huxley, to raise
money for children's war relief. The UCSD site is arranged along the lines of a
book, while the Columbia site uses a geographical arrangement. Curator Giral was
herself an evacuated child, and the Columbia website invites others with similar
heritage to identify themselves.
NPR: Voodoo and West Africa's Spiritual
Life
http://www.npr.org/programs/re/index.html
As part of the fine NPR radio program series,
Radio Expeditions, reporter John Burnett recently travelled to West Africa to
learn about the ancient religion of Vodun, or as it is called in the West,
voodoo. Unfortunately, what most people in the United States think about this
religion is based on sensational (and generally totally inaccurate) accounts
that one finds in various Hollywood movies or in a tourist-designed version that
is hawked in many New Orleans shops. Before listening to the three-part series
online, visitors will want to peruse the selection of photographs taken by the
radio documentary producers during their travel through Togo and Benin, then
proceed to read the background essay as well. The site also includes several
video clips of the Epe Ekpe stone festival in Glidji, Togo and Equnqun spirit
dancers in Cove, Benin.
