PUBlIC TalK WITH NoBel PeaCe laUreaTeWhen Rigoberta Menchú Tum was 20 years old, her brother was ar-rested, tortured and killed by the Guatemalan army, beginning years of perse-cution during a coup that sparked 30 years of dictatorship, war and violence. Born to a poor family of the Quiche branch of the Mayan culture on Jan. 9, 1959, Menchú grew up in Chimel, a village in the northwest

mountains of Guatemala. The traumatic events of her young adult life led to a lifetime to activism and peaceful resistance that earned her the Nobel Peace Prize in 1992. She was the first indigenous person to receive the honor and one of only a handful of women. Menchú will speak at Florida State University on Friday, April 8 at 6 p.m. at the Augustus B. Turnbull III Florida State Conference Center. The public talk, titled “Healing Communities Torn by Racism and Hate,” will discuss how today’s society is affected by racism and hate and how we can work to alleviate suffering and oppression. Menchú will be on campus for a conference of PeaceJam Southeast, a program hosted by the university’s Center for Leader-ship & Social Change. There will be a reception following the talk sponsored by the College of Social Work and the Center for Graduate Students. Menchu will also hold a book signing at that time.

SUMMer CoUrSe: arT & THe eNVIroNMeNT Take IFS 3129 Art & the Environment (e-series on-line) this summer. In what ways can artists attempt to effect change through the use of environmental art & design? What are notable strategies used by artists/designers in this field? How can critical thinking be used to ex-pand on issues of sustainable art practices? Art that focuses on sustainability comes in many forms. It reflects a series of ideas about social and ecological issues facing the world today. These projects don't intend to solve environmental problems but point to potential solutions and raise awareness. By analyzing, discussing and writing about these artists and their work you can develop an enhanced awareness of the complexities we are faced with globally and gather perspectives on the ways artists attempt to effect change.
