However, moving beyond this with three or more sessions per week or intensive, number can quickly become small group week-long, small-group programs taught by instruction, which is less personalized and requires talented teachers. a higher degree of skill to do well. One-to-one tutoring is likely most effective but also more costly. PERSONNEL FOCUS Because the skills required for tutoring are different Researchers have found tutoring to be effective at from the skills required for effective classroom all grade levels—even for high school students who teaching, a wide variety of tutors (including have fallen quite far behind. The evidence is volunteers and college students) can successfully strongest, with the most research available, for improve student outcomes, if they receive adequate reading-focused tutoring for students in early training and ongoing support. grades (particularly grades K-2) and for math- focused tutoring for older students.

Culver Lectureship, the Harriet David Goldberg ’56 Endowment, and the Urban Studies Program of Brown University November 1 at 1 pm until November 2 at 2 pm The Great Recession has had huge repercussions for the fiscal condition of cities around the world. The US is experiencing another wave of municipal bankruptcies, and Rhode Island is not exempt. The impact of the economic crisis, delayed by the stimulus, has slowly worked its way down to the states and in turn, American cities. Vulnerable municipalities – with collapsing industries, high poverty, failed investments, over-indebtedness – tipped into insolvency. Central Falls, Rhode Island emerged from bankruptcy just as Detroit declared its own. This conference will convene scholars and practitioners from Rhode Island and beyond to discuss the causes of and alternatives to municipal bankruptcy under conditions of economic austerity.

This conference presents a forum in which to investigate questions of war and peace in the context of Italian culture. Taking the centenary of the publication of the Futurist Manifesto as an inspiration, we are seeking to reexamine the conceptualization and supposed dichotomy of conflict and harmony. What are the most crucial battles being waged in Italian culture today? Which historical conflicts have had an ongoing impact on the Italian landscape? How do texts problematize the concepts of war and peace? Can literature itself be used as a weapon or a tool for establishing equilibrium. We will consider proposals from all periods and disciplines. Proposals may address, but are not restricted to, the following topics: Cultural warfare; culture-makers and their debates The mythologizing of "war-makers" and "peace-makers" Organized crime and political corruption Political protests and terrorism Gender wars; class and economic warfare The struggle for Italian unification and its consequences Geographic, nationalistic, and religious tensions Italian involvement in the world wars and other military engagements Fascism and Italian imperial aspirations Futurism and the avant-garde Italy's role in current global conflicts Internal struggle in psychological, emotional and physical manifestations The role of media, propaganda and visual culture Presentations should not exceed 20 minutes (approximately 8-10 pages of double-spaced text) and may be in Italian or English.
