National Diversity Summit, March 6-8, 2015 at Brown University

The Scholarship of Diversity and Inclusion in the Academy: Lessons Learned and the Work Ahead for Universities in the 21st Century

As we approach the end of the Brown 250+ Celebration, please join us on campus for the Brown 250+ Diversity Summit. At this special convening of students, faculty, staff, alumni, thought leaders and innovators, we will explore how higher education engages in the work of developing and sustaining an increasingly diverse and inclusive academic community. Through plenary panel discussions, workshops, interactive seminars, and networking activities, we will engage in critical discussions that consider the broad range of identities, perspectives and experiences (race/ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, class, etc.) represented in higher education institutions today, and how relevant research and scholarship informs the work of advancing diversity and inclusion in the academy. 
For further information, please contact institutional_diversity@brown.edu or (401) 863-2216

Events celebrating life of Marable to be webcast live

By Tim O'Keeffe on October 19, 2011 2:46 PM |

The life of Manning Marable, the prolific author and founding director of the Africana and Latin American Studies Program at Colgate, will be celebrated Monday (Oct. 24) with two campus events that also will be webcast live.
Marable died April 1, 2011, at age 60. His book, Malcolm X: A Life of Reinvention, was published just three days after his death. The biography, at nearly 600 pages, has been characterized in media accounts as a re-evaluation of Malcolm X's life that challenges long-held beliefs about the civil rights leader.
Marable was at Colgate from 1983 to 1987, teaching a range of courses including African American Social Thought and African American Freedom Struggles.
The two Monday events are open to the public and also available online at http://livestream.com/colgateuniversity. There is no special software needed to view the live webcasts.
The events:
-- 4:15 p.m., Love Auditorium
Keynote address by Clayborne Carson, professor of history and the founding director of The Martin Luther King, Jr. Research & Education Foundation. His topic will be "Manning Marable on the Integrity of Leadership and Scholarship in History's Greatest Freedom Struggle."
-- 7:30 p.m., Love Auditorium
Three scholars, Robyn Spencer (Lehman College), Russell Rickford (Dartmouth College), and Komozi Woodard (Sarah Lawrence University) will discuss Marable's Malcolm X: A Life of Reinvention

Three Plants that Give You Better Indoor Air

Three Plants that Give You Better Indoor Air



Kamal Meattle used three just three indoor plant species to increase oxygen, filter air, and boost general health at a a New Delhi business park. You too can use them to freshen your indoor space.

Meattle's presentation at the TED 2009 conferencedetails a large-scale success, using thousands of plants for hundreds of workers. In any living or working space, though, the three plants—Areca palm, Mother-in-law's Tongue, and a "Money Plant"—can be used to convert carbon dioxide into oxygen, remove organic compounds, and generally filter and freshen the ambient air. A single person looks to need a minimum of 11 total plants, and certain climates with less sunlight could require a bit of hydroponic growing, but Meattle swears by the health, productivity, and atmosphere benefits. Check out the detailed slides from his TED talk:
