Shalom members of NAME discussion group,
I am a new/old comer to this list-serve. Back in the 1990s this was a very active discussion group. In light of the continuous opression by NCLB legislation and the opressive environment established by the Bush administration, I feel it's time we, NAME members start discussing again important education issues and help one another promote multicultural education issues in our areas.
Anyone?

Whiteness as a Discourse of Power in Education
http://www.uvm.edu/%7Eccpuvm/programs/?Page=whiteness.html
Monday, February 5, 2007 from 8:30-10:00 AM, Sheraton Hotel Conference
Center , South Burlington , VT
This conference will extend the campus conversations about white
culture, oppression and privilege. We will explore themes of educating
in contexts of whiteness, curriculum transformation, non-dominant
social justice prespectives and multicultural training. The conference
will feature keynote Paula Rothenberg.
Rothenberg's lecture will examine ways in which white privilege has
been woven seamlessly into daily life so that what some would identify
as privilege others would say is just the way things are. Taking full
aim at the doctrine that preaches a colorblind approach to race, the
lecture argues that such an approach reifies difference to the benefit
of white privilege. Rothenberg will distinguish between different
versions of multiculturalism, and argue for a critical multicultural
education, one that unmasks issues of hierarchy and privilege,
disrupts the discourse of whiteness, and serves the interests of a
democracy concerned with liberty and justice for us all.
PAULA ROTHENBERG
Author and lecturer, formerly professor of philosophy and women's
studies at the William Paterson University of New Jersey and director
of the New Jersey Project on Inclusive Scholarship, Curriculum, and
Teaching. In addition to her widely used texts in feminist and
multicultural studies, she is also coeditor of Feminist Frameworks ,
Philosophy Now , and Ethics in Perspective .

Subject: Programs in SIBERIA
Dear Colleagues,
Could you please share this information with your students, colleagues
and people who may be interested:
The Educational Center "COSMOPOLITAN", located in Novosibirsk, the
largest city in Siberia, Russia, is pleased to announce that we are
accepting applications for the "LINKING THE PLANET" International
Summer Language Camp and the "SIBERIAN WONDERLAND" Winter Language
Camp, that we are going to run in Novosibirsk region in SIBERIA.
The Summer camp will be taking place during the summer 2007 in four
consecutive two-week sessions, with participation of local Russian
children, youth and adults, as well as volunteer teachers and
international students from around the globe.
The Winter camp is run from January 2nd until January 12th, 2008, and
is a unique opportunity to celebrate the coolest festive season in
Siberia with lots of exciting events, and experience all the winter
fun you have ever dreamed of in ten days.
Both the summer and the winter programs are a great chance for
international participants to learn the Russian language and get a
first-hand experience of the Russian culture and life style. They
provide a unique cultural opportunity of daily interaction with the
Russian children, youth and adults. The RUSSIAN COURSE is organized
for overseas students and volunteer teachers and includes language
studies as well as learning about the Russian culture, history and
society.
We are looking for native speakers of English, German, French, Spanish
and other languages, who would like to be VOLUNTEER TEACHERS of their
language and/or Volunteer Creativity Workshop Coordinators at the
Summer/Winter camps. No previous teaching experience is required.
University students are eligible to apply as volunteer
teachers/workshop coordinators. Teaching at the camp can also be
considered as an INTERNSHIP with all necessary paperwork and an
on-site internship supervision provided. We are looking for people who
are energetic, enthusiastic, open-minded, sociable, enjoy camp
experiences, are willing to share their knowledge and culture.
We also seek people worldwide (SCHOOLCHILDREN, university STUDENTS,
and ADULTS) to join the Summer/Winter camp as international students
of the Russian course and enjoy all the exciting activities scheduled
within the program.
VOLUNTEER TEACHERS' and INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS' RESPONSIBILITES:
- Roundtrip airfare to Novosibirsk.
- Obtaining the Russian visa and visa fees.
- Participation fee, which covers accommodation, meals, local
transportation, exciting cultural program, excursions, etc.
We have been running these programs for twelve years already. For the
past years volunteer teachers from Argentina, Australia, Austria,
Canada, China, Denmark, Fiji, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain,
Holland, Hong Kong, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore,
Sweden, Switzerland, Spain, the United States of America, as well as
university students and school children from the USA, Great Britain,
Germany, and Switzerland have participated in our summer and winter
language camp programs.
The major benefits to join our program are as follows:
1) We organize an exciting cultural, social and excursion program for
international participants of the camp, which is a very enriching
experience. You will be involved in interaction with the Russian
children, youth and adults all the time. This is the kind of
experience you will never get if you go as a tourist. The camp lives
a full cultural and social life. In addition to language and culture
studies we also offer sports, intellectual games, quizzes,
entertaining activities, shows, performances, presentations, parties,
discos, etc.
2) You will gain a first-hand experience of the Russian culture and
life style and particularly the Siberian one. They say if you want to
know what real Russia is like you should go to Siberia.
3) This is a not-for-profit program. Participation fee covers expenses
on accommodation and ALL meals, and tuition fee for students as well.
If you come to Russia (Siberia) on your own or through a travel agency
you will spend much more money compared to what you would pay to
participate in our programme. Participating in our program you won't
need much pocket money, you may need some spending money to buy
souvenirs and gifts to take back home. All the local services (airport
pick-up, local transportation, excursions) are provided by our school
without any additional payment.
4) You don't have to be a professional teacher in order to volunteer
for the programme. The most important aspect is your willingness to
participate and share your knowledge and culture, as well as your
enthusiasm and good will. Teaching at the camp is not like an academic
teaching routine, it's more like fun where emphasis is made on
communication. Our school will provide you with the daily topical
schedule for the classes and will be happy to assist with lesson
planning and teaching materials. University students are eligible to
apply as volunteer teachers. You will gain valuable practical
experience, proven ability and contacts that you can use to get a
future job. Teaching at the camp can also be considered as an
INTERNSHIP with all necessary paperwork and an on-site internship
supervision provided.
5) International participants attend Russian languages classes every
day. Russian classes are taught by well-educated native speakers
trained to teach foreigners. Students are placed in a group according
to their level of Russian. No previous knowledge of Russian is
required. We will also be happy to arrange courses on the Russian
culture, history, music, etc., if required.
6) We are dedicated to providing a student with the most excellent
supervision possible. All the students are supervised and each group
has a group leader who is normally responsible for between 10 ? 15
students and stays with the group 24 hours a day. Everyone can expect
a warm, supportive and friendly atmosphere along with professional
service. Our goal is that a student has the most enjoyable and
worthwhile experience possible during the stay with us. We are
determined to ensure that everyone benefits fully from the interaction
with other students and the staff. The Head of Studies, Psychologist,
the Social Program Coordinator and the Program Director are constantly
monitoring the program to assure that everyone is enjoying the stay
and taking advantage of the many activities offered by the school.
Parents are allowed to the program.
7) You will meet people from other countries who are going to
participate in this program and this is a very interesting experience.
Many of our former foreign participants keep in touch with each other
after the program and even visit each other in all the different
countries.
8) We also offer excursion packages which include trips to Moscow, St.
Petersburg, Novosibirsk, Krasnoyarsk, Lake Baikal, the Altai
Mountains, TransSiberian Railroad, 'Welcome to Siberia' programme. All
the details and tour descriptions are available at request.
9) If you are planning a trip to Russia and would like to consider our
programme you should take into consideration that if you do go to Russia you
will need an invitation to receive the Russian visa in any case. All travel
agencies and tourist companies charge for an invitation. As far as our
programme is concerned, you won't have to pay anything extra for the official
invitation form that you will need to get the Russian visa. We provide all
our foreign participants with the invitation and arrange their
registration on arrival.
* Have you always wanted to add some meaning to an overseas adventure?
* Do you want a new, challenging experience?
* Do you like to meet people from other countries and get your energy
from working towards a goal as part of a team?
* Are you willing to gain experience, improve communication abilities,
and develop skills that will help in your future employment?
* Have you ever daydreamed about gaining insight into the Russian
culture and life in a way no traveler could?
If 'yes' is the answer, our program is the best way for you to spend
your summer or winter vacation! For further details please email
