Part one will be a panel discussion, What is Going On and Why?, to be held on Wednesday, November 2, from noon to 1:00 p.m. in Student Center East - Ft. Dearborn Room B (third floor). I am delighted to announce that the following panelists will participate: Xochitl Bada, associate professor, Latin American & Latino studies, UIC Susan Gzesh, executive director, Pozen Family Center for Human Rights, University of Chicago Mary Meg McCarthy, executive director, Heartland Alliance’s National Immigrant Justice Center Amalia Pallares; professor, political science and professor and director, Latin American & Latino studies, UIC (moderator) Part two of the series will be an open forum, Can We Imagine a More Just Future?, to be held on Wednesday, November 9 from noon to 1:00 p.m. in Student Center East – Room 302. The open forum will provide a place for conversation and dialogue on the issues raised by the panel discussion a week earlier. This is a great opportunity to talk, listen and learn from each other. Our monthly conversations focus on recent events in the news. They are designed to help us understand these events in context and to provide an opportunity for conversation and sharing of diverse points of view. More information about the Campus Conversation series, including panelist biographies and video of past events, is available at the Provost’s website: http://provost.uic.edu/campus-conversation/. I hope that you will join me for these important discussions in November, and that you will encourage your friends, colleagues and students to attend as well. And don’t forget to vote!
