The Environmental Action Committee and Campus Ministry have organized a gathering for the Youth Climate Strike: an international effort to protest the inaction of government and businesses on Climate Change.

This event will begin at 10 a.m. on Friday, September 20th with donuts and blessing by Campus Ministry in Foss. At 10:15 in the Oren Gateway Center Lobby, Mayor Jacob Frey, will give a brief, energizing speech. Following the send off, we will take the light rail to Western Sculpture Park for the strike. We will take the light rail back to campus after the strike at 2 p.m.

Faculty have received notice of this event. Instructors were advised to be clear about any consequences of missing classes, and they have the discretion as well to focus on environmental issues in Friday classes or to create experiential learning opportunities for students to participate in the strike. It would be a good idea to talk to your professors ahead of time. If you all have any questions, feel free to email me. Details are linked below:

Delegates have to understand the challenges of representing that country with its particular history, culture, and current foreign policy priorities and diplomatic objectives.

APPLICATIONS DUE NOVEMBER 1

Course options: ART 211 or THR 295

Faculty Leader: Sarah Myers and Robert Tom
Travel Dates: March 13-23, 2020 (spring break)

Course Description:

You will have the unique opportunity to experience art and performance first-hand in diverse Palestinian contexts, from a day-long excursion to cultural sites in Ramallah to a conference call with artists in Gaza. A major component of the course will be ongoing cultural exchange with students from Dar al-Kalima University in Bethlehem. Augsburg students will also learn about the complex political, historical, social, and religious context for Palestinian art and theater through guided tours, performances, gallery talks, museum visits, readings, and discussions. Throughout these experiences, students will interrogate what it means to create art under occupation, explore various definitions of the “art of resistance,” and learn tools to make creative work that defies and reimagines the status quo.
