Call for artworks

The Joseph Slifka Center for Jewish Life at Yale is inviting all members of the Yale community to submit entries for "Response," an exhibition of visual art created in reaction to the events of Sept. 11 and its aftermath.

The show will open on April 11 at the Slifka Center, 80 Wall St., and will be free and open to the public. All members of the Yale community are encouraged to participate, including faculty, staff, students and family members. No previous experience making or exhibiting art is necessary. The objective of the exhibition is for these personal artistic responses to encourage a dialogue among participants, visitors and the community, and to inform debate about the issues presented and perceived by the artists.

The deadline for submissions is 3:30 p.m. on March 26. Entry form and details are available at www.yale.edu/slifka/
artistSubmitForm.html.


YUWO scholarships

The Yale University Women's Organization (YUWO) is offering scholarship awards to women whose formal education has been interrupted or delayed and who wish to resume their studies, or enhance or change their careers.

Members of the Yale community and their family members are eligible for the awards. Present staff members and wives of staff members will be given first consideration. Applicants are judged upon merit and need.

Applications for the 2002-2003 academic year may be obtained by writing to Connie Marsden, 32 Hunting Ridge Farms, Branford, CT 06405-6131. Applicants should state their Yale affiliation and enclose a self-addressed, stamped, business-sized envelope. The deadline is March 1. For more information, call Mrs. Marsden at (203) 481-1795.


F&ES spring lecture series

"Environmental Justice" is the theme of the seventh annual Restoration Agenda Lecture Series hosted by the School of Forestry & Environmental Studies.

Prominent scholars and activists from around the country will discuss environmental justice in 11 lectures. The series will investigate the social, economic, health and legal dimensions of environmental justice, which suggests that people of color disproportionately live in unhealthy environments such as near toxic waste sites and polluting industries.

All the lectures will take place at 11:30 a.m. in Bowers Auditorium, Sage Hall, 205 Prospect St., and are free and open to the public.

The series will include brown bag lunch roundtable discussions that will follow the lectures and provide an informal forum to encourage dialogue among community members, government officials, Yale faculty, and graduate and undergraduate students.

Edward Kennedy, Jr., a health care regulatory attorney, and Dottie Needham, director for Yale Lead Program and Asthma Outreach Project, will talk on "Lead Poisoning: Justice or Injustice," on Feb. 13.

Steward Pickett, project director of the Baltimore Ecosystem Study, and William Burch, the Hixon Professor of Natural Resource Management at the School of Forestry & Environmental Studies, will speak on "Toward an Understanding of Nature and Human Nature on the Urban Frontier -- Mapping the Patches of a Hip Hop, Funky, Jazz, Stravinsky, Bach, Rhythm and Blues Dance of Ecological Science" on Feb. 20.

Edwardo Rhodes, professor of public and environmental affairs at Indiana University, will speak on "The Challenges of Measuring and Evaluating Environmental Justice" on Feb. 27.
