Library Workshop 9/11 @ Noon

Attention Faculty:

Please join us this afternoon at the library in the Thomson eclassroom.

We will be conducting an hour long workshop on “Creating Effective Research Assignments and Information Literacy.”

Effective assignments develop not only students’ research skills, but their critical thinking abilities and subject knowledge. Attend this workshop to discuss how faculty and librarian collaboration can work toward developing assignments that enhance course objectives and minimize frustration.

Colloquium 2007 Series -Dr. Karen Arms

The Colloquium 2007 Series showcases the research and scholarship of UConn Stamford Campus faculty.

The second Colloquium 2007 Series will be held on Tuesday, April 24, from 12:00 to 2:00 p.m. in the GE Global Learning Center (A2).

Dr. Karen Arms, Director of the Institute for Children, Youth and Families, and Associate Professor of Human Development and Family Studies, will make a presentation titled, “Fulbright Scholar Shares China Experiences.“

Dr. Arms was selected for the prestigious Fulbright-Hays Seminars Abroad Program in China. The program is administered by the U.S. Department of Education and jointly operated by the National Committee on United States-China Relations, the Ministry of Education of the People’s Republic of China, and the China Education Association for International Exchange.

She will discuss her research experiences during her 5-week trip throughout China. She will provide a 24-minute video that she produced about the lives of two teenage girls, one living in Beijing and the other in central, rural China.

In addition, for those interested, a documentary video, “Mountain Gold Festival” will be screened. Against a backdrop of the beautiful mountain scenery of central China, the worship ceremonies of the village festival are presented, including human blood rituals and other explicit details of sacrifice. It provides an incredible portrayal of religious observations today that differ from American religious institutions.
Colloquium Series #1 -
Dr. Susan Anderson, Professor of Philosophy, will be the inaugural presenter at the Colloquium Series on April 10. The title of her presentation will be “Can Machines be Taught to Behave Ethically?” and she will make the presentation with a research colleague, Dr. Michael Anderson who is Associate Professor of Computer Science at the University of Hartford.
