Happening At Cedar Commons

*INTERFAITH @ CEDAR COMMONS: FAITH AND POLITICS*
THURSDAY October 13th, 6:30-8:30pm

Join us for dinner and discussion about how our faith and/or spiritual traditions shape our engagement with our governments and the political process.

+ How do the communities we're part of inform our political views?
+ How do we engage with people whose political views differ from ours? Do our faith traditions help us to do this effectively?
+ How do our faith traditions shape our sense of society's future and our role in creating that future?

Do you have to be a person of faith to come? No! We welcome everyone who's interested in discussing experiences of faith and spirituality and how they intersect with the issues we care about.

Academic Freedom & AAUP Welcome Events (TODAY)

Today, Thursday, 13 October, immediately after the faculty meeting, the Augsburg chapter of the Association of American University Professors (AAUP) is hosting a "Buy a New Faculty Member a Beer Campaign" at the refurbished Viking Bar (just down Riverside, two blocks past Jimmy Johns). If you have joined the campus community in Fall 2015 or more recently, we want to welcome you to Augsburg. Please join us for a free beer, glass of wine, or non-alcoholic beverage.

AAUP was founded in 1915 by, among others, the philosopher and educator John Dewey. As our documents state, "we believe higher education is a fundamental human right to which freedom of inquiry and expression are integral" and advocate for and develop some of the most important policies and documents to this end in our profession. This year the Augsburg AAUP chapter has organized the presentation and discussion, "Why Academic Freedom Matters in the Classroom," with Carleton professors Jeff Snyder and Amna Khalid, who recently published a major article in The New Republic on academic freedom and campus bias response teams (11:30-1pm, Thursday, 17 Nov, in Sateren Auditorium). The event is co-sponsored by Faculty Senate with support from longtime donor Judith McCartin Scheide, the Provost, and CTL.

If you'd like to know more, contact Elise Marubbio, Cass Dalglish, Kathy Swanson, Bob Cowgill, Michael Lansing, or Doug Green.

And join us today and 17 Nov.
