VACLAV HAVEL
1936 -2011
Playwright, Dissident, Statesman:
A Life of Courage
Havel’s presidency focused on human rights and the global responsibility for their observance, the organization and integration of Europe and the place of the Czech Republic within it, globalization, the environment and its conservation. After his second full term in office ended in 2003 until his death in 2010, he continued to promote activities which would lead to a better understanding of these areas of concern.
The exhibit is located in the Fourth Floor Reading Room of the Joseph Regenstein Library, adjacent to the Slavic Reference Collection, and will run through May 2012.

At this workshop teachers will hear presentations that provide a foundation for teaching about the Islamic world and its diversity to their students. The focus will be on two edges of the Islamic world: Southeast Europe and Southeast Asia. Speakers will provide comparisons between Islamic religion and culture in these two regions and will also discuss how they compare with Middle Eastern Islam. The latter half of the workshop will emphasize pedagogy and teachers will have the opportunity to discuss strategies for incorporating new content and developing new lessons.
