A production internship is available with the National Council for the Traditional Arts. A CMCL alum held the position this fall, and she asked me to let you all know about this opportunity. Please contact the director of production, Dennis Blackledge, for more info (dblckldg@ncta.net). Also visit http://www.ncta.net.
Production interns play a key role in producing major festivals, tours and events, and gain valuable experience in areas such as production/technical coordination, travel arrangements, artist and staff communications by working directly with the Production Management Team. Prior experience in music, concert production, theatre production or festival organization preferred.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Qualified applicants for all positions will be energetic, highly organized, hard working, detail oriented, computer literate and team players. Internships with stipend are generally limited to two to three positions annually, and generally require a multi-month commitment. No housing provided. Some evenings, weekends and travel required.
The National Council for the Traditional Arts (NCTA) is a private, not-for-profit corporation dedicated to the presentation and documentation of folk and traditional arts in the United States. Founded in 1933, it is the nation’s oldest multi-cultural producing and presenting organization. The programs of the Council celebrate and honor those arts that are deeply traditional - music, crafts, stories and dance passed down through time by families, communities, tribal, ethnic and occupational groups. NCTA stresses quality and authenticity in presenting folk artists to the public in concerts, national and international tours, festivals, radio and television programs, recordings, films and other programs.

Great Courses in Criminal Justice Have Openings
From the Criminal Justice advisor:
Do you have students who still need S&H courses, or who are at loose ends for filling out their schedules or for finding just the “right” minor? Please let them know about these stimulating course offerings, that still have seats available:
CJUS-P 100 Introduction to Criminal Justice (2 sections)
This course is an introduction to the administration of criminal
justice. Its focus is the structure, functions, and processes of the
criminal justice system. The principle components of the justice
system – the police, courts, and correctional systems – as well as
the complex interrelationships among these organizational components and tensions between them will be examined.
We will explore the processes that constitute each step of the
criminal justice system from decision to arrest, to sentencing,
through reentry as well as definitions of crime and law, the nature
and extent of crime, and the constitutional foundations of law and
justice. The impact of external influences – such as politics and
the media - on the goals and functioning of the criminal justice
system will be analyzed along with historical and international
perspectives on the administration of justice.
Issues of theory versus practice will be illuminated in the criminal
justice system at each step of the process, and our considerations
of the criminal justice system will be contextualized within models
of the criminal justice system such as due process versus crime
control.
Finally, contemporary issues and trends such as sentencing policies,
emerging issues in prisons, terrorism, and the death penalty will be
explored.

CJUS-P 300 Law and Global Corporations
Who should care about the role of the multinational corporations
(MNCs) in a globalizing world? Many people. As future policy-makers,
lawyers, or managers, it is important for you to understand the role
of large multinational business enterprises. Whether you are a labor
lawyer concerned about global trade issues or labor standards, an
environmental activist concerned about the role of MNCs with respect
to environmental policy, or you work as a manager or in-house
counsel for a major MNC, it is important for you to understand the
impact of MNCs on their stakeholders and the society in a
globalizing world, and the various attempts to regulate MNCs.
This course will start with cases illustrating MNCs’ globalizing
strategies, and the implications of this globalizing process. What
responsibilities do the more and more powerful and outreaching MNCs
have to its stakeholders: consumers, employees, governments, the
environment, and the public in general? We will use specific cases
to examine the role of MNCs in perpetuating or alleviating some of
the negative consequences of globalization. Further, we will study
and compare various proposals to define the social responsibilities
of MNCs. Finally, through an evaluation report, you will choose a
publicly-held MNC to examine and incorporate your own research with
the reading below to address the role your firm plays in a
globalizing world.

Student Survey: Views on Family
From the Religious Studies advisor:
I have a former student who is doing an honors thesis. She says: “I am currently studying IU students’ views of the family, specifically gay, lesbian, and co-habiting straight couples and their children. I have authored a 5 minute online survey attempting to gather these opinions from students. It has been IRB approved, is completely confidential, and literally takes less than five minutes to complete.
This survey is completely confidential and that there are no identifiers that can be traced back to respondents.”

Two New Courses on Israel - Spring 2008
Two new courses on Israel in the Spring. No permission required to register for these courses.
JSTU-J 204 Social & Historical Topics in Jewish Studies (3 cr.) Daphne Tsimhoni
Topic: The Arab-Israeli Conflict
TR 4:00-5:30
Important note: This course will begin on Tuesday, January 29 so there will be no free drop period.
Since its inception, the Arab-Israeli conflict has dominated the political agenda and many aspects of life in Israel, the Middle East, and beyond. This course will introduce the students to the origins of the conflict in the late nineteenth century, the British pledge for a Jewish national home and the British mandate for Palestine, the development of the conflict from a local to a regional one, involving the Arab states. We will study the establishment of the State of Israel, the 1948 war and the creation of the Palestinian problem in its various aspects; both the 1956 Suez war and the Six Days 1967 war and their impact on Israel and the Middle East.
We will discuss the emergence of the PLO and the Palestinian organizations, the first Lebanon war, the road to the first Palestinian uprising (intifada), and to the peace accords. We will conclude by discussing the wars and the prospects for peace.
The course will be based on historical studies, various documentation, documentary films, and websites.
Course requirements: two midterm take-home exams and a final essay.
JSTU-J 304 Social & Historical Topics in Jewish Studies/3 cr./ Daphne Tsimhoni
Topic: Jews, Muslims, & Christians in Israel #25561
TR 6:30-8:00
Important note: This course will begin on Tuesday, January 29 so there will be no free drop period.
Established as the nation state of the Jewish people, Israel has an ethno-religious, socioculturally diverse population. This course will introduce students to this diversity and its impact on Israeli politics and society. We will explore the historical origins of this complexity: The religious significance of the Holy Land, the preservation of Ottoman and British mandatory traditions, the 1948 war and the mass immigration to Israel from Europe and the Middle East. We will examine the socio-cultural and religious diversity within the Jewish majority that extends far beyond the common division between western European (Ashkenazim) and Middle Eastern (Mizrahim) and the Palestinian Arab minority that is no less complex and includes Muslims, Christians, Druze and smaller communities.
Based on socio-historical research and documentaries, we will discuss the following issues: Is the breach between the Jewish majority and the Palestinian Arab minority in Israel bridgeable? Is there a 'demographic issue' in Israel? and if so, what is its impact on Israeli politics? Who are the 'Arab Jews'? Can they form a bridge between Jews and Arabs? Is there an Israeli identity? What are its components?

Childhood should be a period filled with hope and joy for EVERY young person…yet daily in Indiana, an average of 140 children are reported as abused or neglected! Even more shocking is the reality that weekly, at least one child dies as a result of that abuse or neglect---nearly three classrooms of children every year!
The Villages, Indiana’s largest private, not-for-profit family services agency champions every child’s right to flourish in a caring, safe and nurturing family! We are relentless in our dedication to help heal and nurture the children who are victims of these horrific acts! How?? By tirelessly working with their families of origin to assure that abuse will never again occur, the vast majority of these children are able to safely return to their home and family! For other children, The Villages is supporting and sustaining a grandparent or relative in the important role of raising a child! When family ties can’t be honored, The Villages is intensely engaged in recruiting, screening, training and supporting heroic foster and adoptive families who rekindle the sense of hope and energy in the resilient abused children they so unselfishly serve!
The Villages’ wide array of services includes:
* Child Development and Education Centers
* Family Preservation and Reunification
* Healthy Families Parent Support
* Kinship Care
* Special Needs Adoption
* Therapeutic Foster Care
* Transitional and Independent Living Services
* Prevent Child Abuse Indiana

Interesting Culture Studies Course for Spring: CLAS-C 491 Topics in Classical Studies: The Roman Family
CLAS-C 491 TOPICS IN CLASSICAL STUDIES: THE ROMAN FAMILY
Professor Cynthia Bannon
Tuesday and Thursday, 9:30-10:45
Section number 25147/ Honors section number 28383
What was family life like in ancient Rome? Who could get married? How were children cared for? Where did Grandma live? How did slaves fit in?
In this class, we study literature, art, and law, to investigate these questions and many others about Roman kinship, in theory and in practice, with comparisons to modern ideas about the family. We consider changes in the family over time, public and private perspectives on kinship, and changes in Roman society that affected the family.
Class requirements include quizzes and four six-page analytical papers.
C491 carries S&H and CSA distribution. No knowledge of Latin is required, and the course is appropriate for students interested in history, gender studies, religious studies, anthropology, sociology, and psychology.
Please contact Professor Bannon at cbannon@indiana.edu with any questions.

MemberCorps
MemberCorps is a program that allows students to explore themselves, IU, and the Student Alumni Association (SAA) as well as other student organizations to help make IU a little smaller by finding "their place". It is a great way to meet people, learn about yourself and learn about opportunities to get involved and find your niche. The program consists of 4 classes, a retreat, and a graduation ceremony. It can be taken for credit as HPER-R 100, but that is not required. More information, as well as the application, is located online at http://www.alumni.indiana.edu/saa/membercorps/.
Quotes from past Member Corps participants:
It is a great way to get involved quickly, learn more about yourself and leadership skills. ~Margherite Brucci
A life altering experience. You learn to think outside the box and gain a whole new understanding of yourself. It can only enhance your experience at IU. ~Christina Duff
You'll find out a lot about yourself while being involved on campus.
~Rafael Costa
Member Corps made me so proud to be an IU student. I have learned a lot about myself. ~Rebecca Brozio

2008 Hutton Honors College Symposium & Research Fair
The Hutton Honors College presents
the 2008 Annual IUB Undergraduate
Symposium and Research Fair
April 6th & 9th
Deadline for abstracts & proposals Feb 1st, 2008
Submit to Assistant Dean Lynn Cochran(lcochran@indiana.edu)
The Hutton Honors College invites proposals and abstracts for our annual symposium and research fair. The symposium is to be held on Sunday, April 5th, at the Indiana Memorial Union from 9-5. Students who choose to present papers at the symposium will be asked to speak for ten minutes on their work, with a five minute Q&A to follow. Each presenter will be included on a panel of other students working in a similar field of study. Last year the topics included sociology, international issues, business & economics, science, the humanities & social sciences, and medicine & psychology. Every year the topics vary somewhat according to the abstracts submitted. A schedule of sessions will be forthcoming in March. The research fair poster session will be held Wednesday, April 9th, in the Frangipani Room from 7-9 pm. Students will present posters describing the projects they have been working on. This year we hope to have judges for the first time for the poster fair. All IU undergraduates are invited to participate in these two events, and all IU faculty and students will be invited to attend. The Hutton Honors College will hold workshops for students who would like to know more about paper or poster presentations.
Whether you choose to present a paper at the symposium or a poster at the fair, or would like to participate in both events, we welcome one page abstracts by Feb 1st; please be sure to indicate whether you are interested in presenting a paper and/or a poster. If you choose to participate in both events, you will just submit one abstract. Please let me know at your earliest convenience if you will be submitting an abstract this year and we will send you an abstract template to make your submission easier. Also, be sure you have a faculty mentor for your project, as they will be asked to sign off on your abstract.
The symposium and fair are open to all disciplines, including (but not limited to): visual and performing arts, humanities, natural and physical sciences, mathematics, business and economics, education, and nursing. This is a great opportunity to let others see the valuable work you have been doing during the past year, and to see what other students in a variety of fields are exploring here at IU. It is also a great chance for you to perfect your presentation skills and receive valuable feedback from faculty and interested colleagues. Don’t miss this opportunity for professional experience!
We look forward to hearing from you, and more importantly, to seeing the results of your efforts!

Underground/City Lights Film Series
Hello all, this week underground is pleased to present Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait, a meditative and rapturous document of the soccer star in action.
*************************************************
Zidane, A 21st Century Portrait (2006, 97m) The film was made by training 17 cameras, under the supervision of acclaimed cinematographer Darius Khondji, solely on footballer Zinedine Zidane over the course of a single match between Real Madrid and Villareal. Zidane himself recounts, in voice-over, what he can and cannot remember from his matches. Magnificently edited and accompanied by a majestic score from Scottish rock heroes Mogwai, this is not only the greatest football movie ever made, but also one of the finest studies of man in the workplace, an ode to the loneliness of the athlete and the poise and resilience of the human body. The film will be introduced by three very short films by Stan Brakhage.
*************************************************
The underground film series is sponsored by Indiana University's Department of Communication and Culture. All screenings are on alternating Fridays at 7 p.m. in room 251 of the Radio-TV building on the IU campus. All screenings are free and open to the public, and free parking is ample in the lot adjacent to the building, provided you clearly display an underground flyer on the dashboard of your vehicle.

Planning to Graduate in May 2008 or August 2008? You Must Apply to Graduate!
Attention all May 2008 and August 2008 Graduates:
You must file for graduation with the College of Arts and Sciences Recorder’s Office. Simply go to http://www.college.indiana.edu/recorder/, log in with your username and password, and click on the Apply to Graduate link from the menu on the left.
If you have already applied to graduate but you have realized that you will be unable to complete all degree requirements by your stated graduation date, you will need to go online to re-submit the graduation application, specifying your new graduation date. Keep in mind that August graduates can still take part in the May commencement ceremony, so don’t apply for May graduation just because you plan to walk in the May ceremony. The date you specify should be the date by which you will have completed all degree requirements.
Please note that minors need to be on your degree before you graduate; they cannot be added once the degree has been finalized. To declare a minor, you will need to go to the department or school in which you are earning the minor. Let me know if you are unsure about who you need to contact, and I will direct you to the right person.
The exception to this is the Minor in Business and the Minor in Entrepreneurship and Small Business Management. These minors can be declared on the Recorder’s website (http://www.college.indiana.edu/recorder/ - the same place you go to apply to graduate).
If you have filed for graduation and will be using any transfer credit, it is your responsibility to have an official transcript sent from that institution to our Office of Admissions. You must then check to make sure that the credits appear on your online degree progress report and that they meet the requirement(s) you want them to fulfill. To access your degree progress report, log in to OneStart and click on Degree Progress Report (this should be located under the Academic Services heading on the self-service page). If you need any help reading the degree progress report, just let me know and we can go over it together.
Should there be an exception needed for your degree plan or if you have any questions about transfer credits, they need to be addressed well before the deadline for certifying your degree. If all your course work is not completed by the end of the month in which you plan to graduate (May, August, or December), you will not graduate and will have to wait until the next graduation date.

Who should care about the role of the multinational corporations (MNCs) in a globalizing world? Many people. As future policy-makers, lawyers, managers or governmental agents, it is important for you to understand the role of large multinational business enterprises. Whether you are a labor lawyer concerned about global trade issues or labor standards, an environmental activist concerned about the role of MNCs with respect to environmental policy, an administrative governmental agent regulating MNCs, or you work as a manager or in-house counsel for a major MNC, it is important for you to understand the impact of MNCs on their stakeholders and the society in a globalizing world, and the various attempts to regulate MNCs.
This course will start with cases illustrating MNCs’ globalizing strategies, and the implications of this globalizing process. What responsibilities do the more and more powerful and outreaching MNCs have to its stakeholders: consumers, employees, governments, the environment, and the public in general? We will use specific cases to examine the role of MNCs in perpetuating or alleviating some of the negative consequences of globalization. Further, we will study and compare various proposals to define the social responsibilities of MNCs. Finally, through an evaluation report, you will choose a publicly-held MNC to examine and incorporate your own research with the reading below to address the role your firm plays in a globalizing world.

INTERVIEWS AVAILABLE WITH THE WORKFORCE RECRUITMENT PROGRAM
The Workforce Recruitment Program for College Students with Disabilities is coming to the IU campus this year! This program is an excellent way for current students and recent graduates to find internships and full-time jobs across the country.
What is the Workforce Recruitment Program?
The Workforce Recruitment Program for College Students with Disabilities (WRP) is a resource to connect public and private sector employers nationwide with students and recent graduates with disabilities who are eager to prove their abilities in the workforce. Employers seek to fill both temporary and permanent positions in a variety of fields.
How Does the Program Work?
The WRP operates on the following timeline:
• In January and February, a recruiter will come to IU to interview students.
• By late March, a database composed of your resume and other information is made available to employers in the public and private sectors.
• Once the data base is released, interested employers make direct contact with you about temporary and permanent job offers. The data base is active for one year.
Join the Career Development Center and Disability Services for Students in our effort to increase career opportunities for students like yourself. Sign up immediately to get an interview slot! Students will be required to attend preparatory sessions on interviewing skills, resume writing, and other helpful topics before their interviews.
Questions? Want to sign up? Contact Laura Barnes Paley in the Career Development Center at laubarne@indiana.edu/812-855-0577, or Elaine Kuhns at eekuhns@indiana.edu/812.855.7578.
The WRP is co-sponsored by the Office of Disability Employment Policy and the Department of Defense, with support from other federal agencies.
