New Arts and Science Course Trains International Associate Instructors at IUB

ike many large public research universities, Indiana University L Bloomington employs a mix of professors and graduate student instructors—the associate instructor (AI) system—to assist in many of the large undergraduate courses. It is a productive combination, say some IU faculty, because it provides teacher training experience for the graduates while bringing fresher approaches and perspectives to teaching from their younger AIs. Many of these AIs at IUB are international graduate students (IAIs). As with peer institutions, IU Two American undergraduates (far left) discuss classroom issues with six of the departments, particularly in the hard sciences, regularly employ tal- ented U.S. and international AIs to their English language and commu- Duke University for 10 years, and teach basic required discussion and nication skills, so they can become Betsy Merceron, an experienced lab sessions or to assist in large lec- certified to teach.

Two prominent Indiana University Bloomington paleoanthropologists, Nicholas Toth and Kathy Schick, whose research explores how early humans made tools and developed societies, have launched the new Stone Age Institute, a part of the IU Center for Research into the Anthropological Foundations of Technology (CRAFT). The institute, about 10 miles off campus, houses a library of more than 50,000 books and articles; archaeological artifacts that include human and animal skulls and tools; laboratories; a press room; and offices for visiting researchers. The 35- foot tall circular stone tower, similar to those built by some stone age people, is an imposing architectural feature of the facility. It is the first center in the world that is devoted to the study of early human culture.

On March 3, the Indiana University–Purdue University Fort Wayne campus co-spon- sored a special performance held at University of Notre Dame by Werewere Liking, one of the Francophone Africa’s most avant-garde writers and performers from Côte d’Ivoire. She is a prolific playwright, poet, and novelist and director/actress, and her performance troupe attracted an audience of approximately 100 people, including IPFW faculty and students.

Over two days in March, Bloomington’s Lotus Arts Foundation held its Lotus Blossoms spring outreach event featuring music from various world cultures and an international outdoor bazaar open to the public at Binford Elementary School. The Family Day Lotus Bazaar invited close to 950 fourth grade children from all the area schools—and their grown-ups—to participate in hands-on activities associ- ated with a range of international cultures drawn from the IU Bloomington commu- nity.For example, they were able to observe a model of a traditional Central Asian yurt being assembled by IUB students Sabina Manafova (top photo, standing) from Azerbaijan and Nazikbek Kydyrmyshev and Tynarkul Ryskulova from Kyrgyzstan.

There were also many languages represented at the calligraphy booth, from Arabic, Japanese, and Kazakh to Greek, Kyrgyz, and Yoruba. At the Chinese table are Yu-ting Su and Diane (Pin Ya) Fan preparing materials for the students. The event was partially co-sponsored by IUB’s East Asian Studies Center, the Inner Asian and Uralic National Resource Center, the International Resource Center, the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies, and the West European Studies Center.

As one who completed the course in fall and is now teaching this spring, the course proved to be “the best English class I have ever taken,” says biology instructor Gouzhou “Joe” Chen. “This class also provides plenty of opportunities for students to practice their presen- tation skills, especially in the pres- ence of undergraduate students.

Correction On page 26 of the December 2003 issue of International News in the paragraph about IPFW’s Desiderio Vasquez, the biographical information in the line beginning with “Before joining IPFW in…” was misattributed and should have applied to Carlos Pomalaza-Ráez of the preceding para- graph. What follows is the correct biographical information for Vasquez: “Vasquez has been a professor at IPFW since 1993. He received his bach- elor’s degree in physics from Universidad Católica del Peru in 1982 and his Ph.D. in physics from the University of Notre Dame in 1989. Before coming to IPFW, Vasquez did postdoctoral research in West Virginia and Texas.” The editor regrets this error.
