Subject: 	For WCC: Roundtable on Teaching Rape Texts
Date: 	Tue, 02 Dec 2008 15:34:42 -0500
From: 	Nancy Rabinowitz <nrabinow at hamilton.edu>

This roundtable is offered as a follow up to the Feminism and Classics V
conference discussion of teaching ancient texts about rape. There will
be sign-up sheets for roundtables at the meeting; we look forward to
seeing you all there.

"Teaching Rape in Classical Literature: Activism, Pedagogy, and the
American University."

Nancy Sorkin Rabinowitz and Amy Richlin (co-organizers)

Certain classical texts notoriously draw out students' responses from
their personal lives, and those of us who teach those works often end up
in delicate conversations with students.  The treatment of rape in Greek
myth, Ovid's Metamorphoses and in New Comedy frequently incites such
events; those who teach these texts must learn both to teach the
subjects with sensitivity in the classroom and to be prepared to discuss
them less publicly, for example during office hours.

  The predictability of this phenomenon, in which an ancient text about
rape brings a student to talk to a professor about a personal experience
of rape, leads us to think about the subject on a larger scale, as a
matter of both pedagogical preparation and professional ethics, and one
that is well-suited to a round-table discussion at the APA conference.

  Some of the questions we might raise include the following: What is the
responsibility of the faculty member in regards to campus problems such
as sexual assault? What can we do about those problems while maintaining
our proper professionalism? What is proper professionalism? Can we
address such issues in our courses without polarizing our classrooms?

Posted on behalf of the editor of the journal
"Rheinisches Museum"

While some more recent issues of Rheinisches Museum had
been available online (as full text versions) for some
time, the German Research Foundation has now funded the
digitalization of a significant number of back issues,
which have just become generally available as pdf-files
free of charge. This means that issues 93 (1950) to 147
(2004) are now accessible online. Recent issues will
continue to follow, three years after they have
appeared in print.

Rheinisches Museum online is available at
http://www.rhm.uni-koeln.de.

For further information and submissions to future
issues, please contact the editor, Prof. Dr. Bernd
Manuwald (University of Cologne), at

From: 	Ted Gellar <tedgellar at gmail.com>


Dear WCC and LCC members,

Like every year, we will be staffing an exhibit table at the AIA/APA
annual meeting in Philadelphia next month -- and I'd like to ask for
your help!  We're looking for volunteers for time slots (ranging between
1 and 2 hours) throughout the day on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and
Sunday.  Volunteering essentially means that you sit at the table,
engage with anyone who comes by for information about the WCC and LCC,
potentially sign up a new member or two, and verify membership status
for WCC and LCC members who stop by to ask (plus record dues paid by
current members who renew at the meeting).

It's really easy to do, it's another way to get to meet other WCC/LCC
members, and I've found that the hour or so goes by faster than you
might expect.  So please e-mail me, Ted Gellar, at tedgellar at gmail.com
<mailto:tedgellar at gmail.com> to sign up for one (or more!) of the times
listed below.  And thanks in advance for your help!


     Thursday 8 January
         2:00 p.m. - 3:30 p.m.
         3:30 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.

The New York Public Library New LGBT Visiting Scholars Program

Stipends Available for Research with Library?s LGBT collections

The New York Public Library continues to expand, build, and make  
accessible it?s extensive Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender  
(LGBT) collections by announcing the creation of the LGBT Visiting  
Scholars Program. Created with the generous support of LGBT Committee  
Ambassador Martin Duberman and his partner Eli Zal, the program  
enables the Library to provide travel stipends to New York City for  
up to three visiting scholars to do LGBT research in the Library?s  
collections. The awards will be limited to emerging scholars or those  
who are unaffiliated with an academic institution. The selected  
Martin Duberman Scholars will receive travel grants that range from  
$1,000 to $8,500 and will as be provided with workspace at the  
Library to pursue their research.

Interested applicants should send a three to five page research  
proposal specifying the collections at the Library relevant to their  
project, a draft budget, and itinerary for their trip, a cover  
letter, and an appropriate letter of recommendation. Applications  
should be sent to Jason Baumann, The New York Public Library, 11 West  
40th Street, South Court 3, New York, NY 10018. Applications must be  
received by January 31, 2009. Notification of awards will be sent  
beginning March 1, 2009. Recipients must make their trip within the  
year of 2009.

The LGBT collection at The New York Public Library continues to be  
one of the largest and most thorough in the country. The collections  
include the archives of pioneering LGBT activists, such as Morty  
Manford, and Barbara Gitting and Kay Tobin Lahusen; the papers of  
scholars, such as Martin Duberman, Jonathan Ned Katz, and Karla Jay;  
organizational archives of pivotal civil rights groups, such as the  
Mattachine Society of New York and Gay Activist Alliance; and the  
papers of LGBT writers, such as W.H. Auden, Virginia Woolf, and  
Joseph Beam. The Library?s collections also include major archives in  
the history of the AIDS crisis, extensive holdings in the history of  
LGBT theatre, and the Black Gay and Lesbian archive.
