The event, Storytelling for Change, was sponsored by a grant from the Student Center Challenge Grant, Office of Institutional Diversity, and Office of Community Engagement-all provided support to SOC 435 which organized the event.
SOC 435 has been a year-long course/internship. Students are paid a small stipend and earn course credit at the same time with the thought being that many students cannot afford to participate in internships off campus. In SOC 435, an internship is a part of students' daily lives on campus.

This one-day interdisciplinary symposium will bring together scholars from across campus whose research focuses on Asia. The symposium will be a space of dialogue and learning among scholars. The event will include lectures lead by College of Arts & Sciences faculty and graduate students, as well as a reception. With support from the Associate Dean of Inclusion and Internationalization in the College of Arts & Sciences, we endeavor to foster communication among those who are researching Asia, but scattered across campus, in hopes to build a stronger community of scholars.
Feel free to drop in for all or part of the events. Registration is not necessary, but helpful. Kindly respond with name and affiliation to Doug Slaymaker, dslaym@uky.edu.

It is well past time to celebrate and give recognition to the place African American women have created within the U.S. political history. As we celebrate the victory of Lori Lightfoot becoming the first African American woman mayor of Chicago, we also remember that it was half a century ago when Shirley Chisholm became the first African American woman to serve in the U.S. Congress. Let us not overlook the local African American women who are adding to the foundation of the political landscape.
How does a journal unravel the threat of violence against women and the many forms of violence in women's lives throughout the world?
