Speaker: Lieutenant General Romeo A. Dallaire. Lieutenant General Romeo A. Dallaire has, over a 35-year career in the mlitary, combined his exemplary humanitarian vision with the highest ethical military principles. He has been honoured on numerous occasions for outstanding professionalism, honour, altruism, resourcefulness and bravery. Dallaire's dedication to world peace, self-sacrifice and courage saved the lives of thousands of Rwandans in 1994, when he led the United Nations (UN) mission in Rwanda. Although he and his UN troops did not have the mandate to intervene in the genocide that occurred there, he did not freeze in the face of horror. Against political pressure to take sides the conflict, Dallaire remained impartial, and his courage, compassion and integrity earned him one of Canada's most prestigious military honours, the Meritorious Service Cross. In January, he received the inaugural Aegis Award from the Beth Shalom Holocaust Centre in Great Britain. In the spring of 2000, Dallaire retired early from the military to become special advisor to the Canadian minister for international co-operation, tending to the plight of children in war-torn countries. This lecture is part of the annual Canada-US Relations in a New Security Environment Lecture Series made possible with funding from the U.S. Department of Education, Title VI Grant. The lecture series was developed to respond to increased security concerns and to promote a better understanding of international issues in the region.

October 29-30 Convergence and Divergence in North America: Canada and The United States. Fifth Biennial Colloquium in Canada. Simon Fraser University, Harbour Centre, Vancouver, Canada. International scholars have previously examined convergence and divergence in the development of Canada and the United States as nations, societies, and polities. Usually scholars in particular disciplines have compared developments of different emergent phenomena: respective frontiers, emergent values, integration processes, or the nature of the state, among others. Recently, Associations and Centres for Canadian Studies, however, have found that convergence and divergence in respective developments in Canada and the US is hotly debated and of great scholarly interest to Canadianists in a variety of disciplines, not only in North America, but also overseas. Therefore, rather than examining such emergent phenomena in only one discipline this colloquium fosters their examination in a broad range of disciplines. Our call for papers has struck an interest among scholars and researchers who focus on the convergence and divergence in the development of Canada and the United States as nations, societies, polities, and traders. They will compare and debate their pre-submitted papers to engender new ideas across disciplines in a number of research areas as can be seen in our list of sessions. Sponsored by The Centre for Canadian Studies at Simon Fraser University, the Association for Canadian Studies in the United States (ACSUS), Canadian Studies Center at the University of Washington, and the Center for Canadian-American Studies at Western Washington University.

By Rachel Leah Jones, 2002. 48 minutes. By Ayn Hawd. Ayn Hawd is a Palestinian village that was captured and depopulated by Israeli forces in the 1948 war. In 1953 the village was transformed into a Jewish artists' colony, and renamed it Ein Hod. This documentary tells the story of the village's original inhabitants, who, after expulsion, settled only 1.5 kilometers away in the outlying hills. Rachel Leah Jones' filmmaking debut is a critical look at the art of dispossession and the creativity of the dispossessed. Suggested Donation $10/ All Welcome.

Speaker: Dr. Sudeshna Sen. Sponsored by the Asian Languages and Literature Colloquium. November 21 Paradise Lost. 7:00 PM, Ethnic Cultural Theater, 3940 Brooklyn Ave NE, in Seattle's University District. By Ebtisam Maraana, 2003. 56 minutes. Filmmaker Ebtisam Mara'ana grew up in Paradise (Fureidis in Arabic). This thought-provoking and intimate film diary follows the director's attempt to recreate her village's lost history, including the story of her childhood hero Suuad, who was imprisoned as a PLO activist in the 1970's and banished from the community. The director's frustration builds as her questions are resisted but she presses for truth. Presenting the rarely heard voice of an Arab Israeli, this important film offers valuable insight into the contradictions and complexities of modern womanhood and national identity in the Middle East.
