Diversity Lunch & Learn
The Veiling of Muslim Women: A Case of Oppression, Liberation, or Identity Negotiations?
Dr. Bahar Davary will address the significance of the Veil and its premises and purposes in textual tradition as well as its different forms of practice. Is the veiling of women an Islamic invention? Does it exist in other religions? Has it been prevalent in different civilizations of the past? Is the Islamic practice of veiling a religious matter or an affair of politics? Is it tantamount to fundamentalism or simply in keeping with tradition? Does it promote women’s oppression and deny their rights within the family and the society at large? Is prohibition of the veil a step in the pursuit of women’s liberation?
12:15-1:15 pm in School of Leadership and Education Sciences Room 201

Intellectual Property Rights: Copyright
Thanks to the writers of the Constitution, intellectual property owned by you or others is protected by law. As instructional technologies emerge, educators often find new and easier ways to use copyrighted materials in teaching, but what common practices are acceptable under the copyright laws? When do we need to obtain permission to use copyrighted materials? What is a “fair use” of copyrighted materials? USD’s General Counsel, Kelly Douglas, will address this topic and its application here at USD. Steve Staninger, Associate University Librarian will discuss how Copley Library approaches copyright issues and Academic Technology Services will share copyright savvy resources that faculty might wish to explore.
12:15-1:15 pm in SOLES Mother Rosalie Hill Hall Room 127

GIS: Not Just for Geography - co-sponsored with Academic Technology Services
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) involves capturing, analyzing and managing geographical data and associated attributes which are spatially referenced to the Earth. This software offers many more applications than the name implies. We will take GIS beyond the box of geography and demonstrate how its vast data resources can be applied to a variety of academic disciplines. Dr. Zhi-Yong (John) Yin, Professor of Marine and Environmental Studies and Dr. Andrew Narwold, Professor of Economics will share information about how they use USD's new site license for ESRI's ArcGIS. Case studies will be reviewed which may spark ideas about how GIS might be just the tool you are looking for to take your course to a new level!
12:15-1:15 pm in Olin Hall Room 226
