ANNOUNCING: THE SEVENTH ANNUAL PERMACULTURE COURSE

The course will be take place from May 31st through June 14th at the Lazy Black Bear Retreat Center in Paoli, Indiana (located about an hour south of Bloomington and surrounded by the beautiful Hoosier National Forest). The course will be run by me and taught by Peter Bane and Keith Johnson, two of the best Permaculture teachers in the country. They are former residents of the Permaculture eco-village Earthaven and are the publishers of the Permaculture Activist, the only Permaculture magazine in North America.

Permaculture, for those who know little about it, is a design technique for creating sustainable human communities that are in harmony with the natural environment. It is a rapidly growing and internationally recognized design system for creating better ways of living with our life support systems and with each other. It is a set of principles and techniques that aim to create ecologically sound, economically prosperous, and spiritually rich human communities. This course provides students with innovative conceptual tools and the chance to view the future from many different angles. This is a unique opportunity for hands on experience in a class at Indiana University.

Students who complete this course not only get three hours of IU credit, but also receive their certification in Permaculture, which enables them to practice and teach the art and science of Permaculture. Participants will be camping outdoors in tents or staying in cabins for the duration of the two-week course. The course classroom is a renovated barn, the Lazy Black Bear grounds are an inspirational site for thinking about Permaculture, and an expansive dining hall, solar shower facilities and indoor composting toilets are available (as well as ponds for swimming, forest for hiking, gardens for eating, and campfires for gathering around for music and conversation in the evenings). Students must complete an application and be accepted to register for the course. The application deadline is Friday, March 27th. The application is available at: http://www.indiana.edu/~llc/academics/permaculture.shtml
This website provides further information about the course and has pictures from previous years. Enrollment is limited to 25 students. In addition to the 3 credit-hour tuition, a fee of $555 will be charged to cover transportation, food, lodging, facilities, and some course materials. Any one wanting to know more about the course is welcome to email me at dhaberma@indiana.edu. Relish this day!

"Musical Creativity in Theory and Practice"

10:10-11:00 AM, M/W/F
Fall 2009, 3 credits, CLLC L210/Class 9094 (A&H)

This course asks several broad questions: How can I understand my own creativity? How do other people, both those who live in my own community, as well as those from a diverse array of social and cultural contexts, think about and practice musical creativity? Are there universally shared perspectives on and practices of creating music? What is not shared, and what are the different ways that creating music can mean something to the people who do it? We will explore answers to these broader questions through a cross-cultural (from Indiana to Java) and multi-generic (from Ukrainian country music to Hip-Hop) discussion of particular examples and cases. Students are encouraged to share music to which they are already listening as part of these discussions as well as to consider how the ideas emanating from our discussions might be usefully applied in their own fields of study. We will then join theory and practice, through a series of assignments, by employing the ideas we discuss in the process of actually creating music ourselves. No prior musical training is required to take this class. If you do have prior musical training, however, please feel free to put it to use (or utterly ignore it, if you wish).

Please contact instructor Anthony Guest-Scott for more information:

Spring 2009 IU Behavior Colloquia

University of Missouri, Columbia

Hormones and the evolution of the social human brain

THURSDAY, MARCH 5
2:30pm
IMU Dogwood Room

ABSTRACT:
We humans are highly sensitive to our social environments. Our brains
have special abilities such as empathy and foresight that allow us to
understand each others' feelings and communicate in ways that are
unique among all living organisms. Our extraordinary social brains,
however, come with some significant strings attached. Our emotional
states can be strongly influenced by what others say and do. Our
hearts can soar, but they also can be broken. Our bodies use internal
messengers -- hormones and neurotransmitters -- to help guide responses
to our social worlds. From romantic daydreams to jealous rage, from
orgasm to lactation and parent-child bonding, the powerful molecules
produced and released by tiny and otherwise seemingly insignificant
cells and glands help orchestrate our thoughts and actions.
Here I focus on the question of why stress hormone systems are highly
sensitive to social challenges. For example, levels of the
glucocorticoid stress hormone cortisol increase acutely in response to
a wide variety of social-cognitive demands. Elevation of stress
hormones can have short- and long-term health costs, presenting an
evolutionary paradox. We do not have good explanations for why there
are links between the parts of the brain that assess the social
environment and the hormonal systems that control stress hormones such
as cortisol and epinephrine (adrenaline). Furthermore, we do not
understand why these links are modifiable during child development,
such that early experiences may permanently alter hormonal response to
social threats. Hypotheses are evaluated with a review of a 20-year study of child stress in a rural community on the island of Dominica. My limited
objective here is to provide a plausible model and some new pieces of
the puzzle linking stress response and health outcomes to the neural
plasticity that helps us respond to the dynamic human social
environment. I conclude with a discussion of the special importance of
family relationships in human evolution.

Looking to fulfill language requirements in a fast and exciting way?
Interested in less common Western European languages that can give you an edge on the job market? Have a love for Dutch or Scandinavian art, culture, or history? Then take advantage of one of two great summer opportunities right here at IU through WEST!

The 2009 Summer Dutch Institute (SDI) and National Institute for Scandinavian Studies (NISSS) each offer a full year of language instruction in just 8 weeks' time. Running from May 18-July 10, courses are offered in introductory and intermediate Dutch, introductory Swedish, and introductory Norwegian. Highly qualified and experienced language professors will teach these languages in a small, personal setting for three hours a day. Undergraduates earn 8 credits for the entire sequence, and graduate students earn 6. Plenty of other field trips, cultural events, and social activities are also included in the 8-week program.

As a new addition this year, one-week-long Dutch and Nordic culture courses are also being offered immediately prior to the language courses. Come a week early, from May 11-May 15, for this special opportunity! For one credit each, highly acclaimed professor Michelle Facos will teach on Dutch and Nordic Art, and International Studies professor Per Nordhal on migration and integration from Dutch and Nordic perspectives.

Check out the following websites for more information:
