"Pleasure without Essentialism"

Ladies Who Lunch welcomes professor Carey MacDougall

Thursday 12:30-1:20, Jonathan Edwards Dining Room

Carey McDougall is a sculptor/performance artist who explores dominant and alternative constructions of self. Engaging the feminist tradition of working to critique exclusive, hierarchical and oppressive models of self, her work explores how these models disable or enable certain
types of community and power. Examining the fragility of the boundaries between self identification and identification of the other, her work plays with cultural assumptions regarding the necessity of an embodiment of individuality.

A professor of art at Kent State University Stark Campus, McDougall received her MFA and a Certificate in Women's Studies from the University of Connecticut and a MALS from Wesleyan University.
Please join us for a gender bending good time! Drinks provided by the YDS Women's Center

Got Textbooks?

Please be aware that the Bookstore will be returning unsold textbooks to publishers during Spring Break. If there is a text that you have not yet purchased, you may want to do so this week! Any questions or problems, please speak with Lisa.

COOL THINGS TO DO

Call for Articles

Since 1908, Student World has been a voice and forum to ecumenically-minded students, creating a network of concerns and ideas. Last year, after a thirty-three-year hiatus, the publication of the
world’s first ecumenical journal began again. With this message we are sending out a call for submissions and articles for the first issue of 2004, on the topic “Subtle as Serpents, Gentle as Doves” (Matthew 10,16).
     Possible topics for articles and essays might include (but are no means limited to): spirituality and intellectual life, wisdom and knowledge, Christian students and higher education, the role of faith in arts and literature, and participation in the shaping and maintenance of culture. The deadline for contributions to Student World 2004/1 is 15 April.
     We publish several kinds of articles in English, French or Spanish: personal but theologically-informed reflections and analytical essays (15.000–25.000 characters or 2500–4500 words) with footnotes and bibliography; opinion pieces on important trends and culture reviews (10.000–15.000 characters or 2000–2500 words); poetry, Bible studies, prayers and liturgy. If you decide to contribute, please notify the editors of your intent by 15 March: wscfstudentworld@yahoo.com.
    Please, we encourage you to communicate this call as widely as possible – throughout your movements, to friends, sister organizations, and church bodies.

Youth Group Workshop

Summer Fellowships in the Big Apple

You are invited to apply for a fellowship to the 21st Annual Research Colloquium. Spend the month of July in New York working on a research or writing project of your choice with access to libraries and research facilities at Columbia University, Union, Auburn and Jewish Theological Seminaries. At a time when religion appears to be at the heart of humanity's gravest conflicts, it is clear that an increased understanding of how religion affects our lives is not an option: it is a necessity for survival. Since 1983, we have sponsored the colloquium because we want to have an impact not only on how religion is taught and studied, but also on the way it influences events that touch us all. To that end we invite applications for a fellowship that will allow you to spend a month at our expense in a collaborative learning community, diverse in race, age, gender, religion and intellectual discipline working on a research or writing project of your choice. The successful applicant will have a capacity for integrating personal faith with the life of the
mind, and will outline a project that will be of interest to those outside his or her area of academic specialization or religious tradition. For the lastest colloquium information visit:
