New teaching material acquired: the "We All" international poster series from the Returned Peace Corps Volunteers of Wisconsin.
These fifteen posters draw attention to global commonalities. They contain photos taken from over 64 different countries where Peace Corps has served since its beginning in 1961. The first set illustrates the basic needs of food, water, housing, work, and clothing. The second set continues with social needs: we all learn, play, go places, shop, and need friends. The third set has themes of self-esteem and respect for all: create, peace, health, energy, and celebration.
The posters are available now for classroom use and for display.
Special campus presentation: "Speaking Nearby: Cultural Exchange in China" (with Joe Lewis): 10/28/14. Offered through the Humanities Learning Center.***
