  • Call for Submissions: In Translation: A student discussion of migration, language, and identity-MAY 15, 2015

    May 4, 2015 10:00 am49 views

    Call for Submissions: In Translation: A student discussion of migration, language, and identity 

    Sponsored by the UIC AANAPISI Initiative

    In Translation is seeking articles, essays, and original artwork for publication in the annual edition, released Fall 2015. The purpose of this magazine is to communicate to the UIC community at large about the lives and experiences of UIC students and writers. Multilingual and English language learning writers are especially encouraged to submit. Essays capturing the unique beauty of multilingual voices is especially desirable. 

    Submissions can be made in two categories: 

    Academic writing

    This first category is for students writing about migration, language, and identity while using academic discourse. This category includes but is not limited to essays written for academic courses.

    Creative non-fiction

    Submissions to this category can include but are not limited to memoirs, feature articles, and narratives about the lives of UIC students and their experiences with language and identity. While the journal seeks stories about true experiences and the real opinions of students, prose style may take on the standards of any discourse, from public to Non-Western. Any pieces submitted in a language other than English should be accompanied by an English translation: any texts selected for publication using a language other than English will be published in both/all languages submitted. Code-meshed or multilingual texts (containing a mix of languages or varieties) do not need translations if the meaning can be understood from context. 

    Deadline for submission is May 15th, 2015. Submissions should be emailed to uicthroughtheglass@gmail.com. 

    Past issues of In Translation can be found at writingcenter.uic.edu.

  • Campus Conversations: What is Going on and Why? – The Summer of 2016: Race, Police and Violence Wed. 9/14

    Sep 19, 2016 2:00 pm23 views

    Now that we are a few weeks into the new school year, I wanted to take the opportunity to remind you of our exciting new year-long Campus Conversations series.

    The theme of the series for the year is What's Going on and Why: How Can We Imagine a More Just Future?

    Our monthly conversations will focus on recent events in the news: violence, the role of police, terrorism, the election and more, and are designed to help us understand these events in context and to provide an opportunity for conversation and sharing of diverse points of view.

    The first conversation in the series, titled The Summer of 2016: Race, Police and Violence, will take place on September 14 from noon to 1 pm in Student Center East (Cardinal Room) and will be in the form of a panel discussion by UIC faculty members Barbara Ransby (moderator), LAS Distinguished Professor of African American studies, gender and women’s studies, history, and director of the campus-wide Social Justice Initiative ; Teresa Cordova, director of UIC’s Great Cities Institute and professor of urban planning and policy in the College of Urban Planning and Public Affairs; Beth Richie, professor of African American studies, gender and women's studies, and former director of the Institute of Research on Race and Public Policy at UIC; Juliana Stratton, director of the UIC Center for Public Safety and Justice in the College of Urban Planning and Public Affairs and Amy Watson, professor of social work in the Jane Addams College of Social Work.

    Part two of the conversation will take place on Wednesday, September 21 from noon to 1 pm in Student Center East (Room 605) and will be an open forum that will provide more opportunity for conversation and dialogue.

    In October, the theme of the conversation will be The Election of 2016: Engagement, Conflict & the Common Good, and I will be providing details regarding time and location shortly.

    I hope you will join me and your fellow students, faculty and staff for these campus conversations.

    Dear Faculty, Staff and Students,

    In November we continue our year-long Campus Conversation series with a two-part conversation on The World Around Us: Immigration, Migration & Displacement: Walls and Bridges.

    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:

    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/.

  • Campus Dialogue: Contextualizing Ferguson, MO: Why Michael Brown's Death Matters, Thurs. 10/30

    Oct 29, 2014 5:30 pm22 views

    Contextualizing Ferguson, MO: Why Michael Brown's Death Matters

    Join us for a dialogue on campus that will provide UIC students, staff, faculty and the community with an opportunity to make meaning of those events and other similar incidences across the country.

    Thursday, October 30, 2014
    5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
    Student Center East,
    Illinois Room B
    750 S. Halsted Street
    Chicago, IL

    The purpose of the event is to:

    * allow students, staff, and faculty, and community partners to share experiences they have had with law enforcement.

    * share information and analysis from experts and advocates regarding the broader contextual factors that create the conditions for events such as in Ferguson to occur, such as persistent racism, political repression, the rise of the prison nation, and instances of highly militarized law enforcement responses.

    * pair this contextualization with lessons from activists and advocates regarding how the contributing factors may be reversed and how participants can connect with those efforts to take action.

    Participants are invited to share their stories via social media using the hashtag: #FergusonMatters.

    If you have any questions, please contact neramos@uic.edu or call (312) 355-0095.

The Campus Conversation topic for April 6 is still under consideration. Each of these presentations will be followed by an open forum.
