One World United and Virtuous is a grassroots not-for-profit educational foundation that seeks to foster the body of knowledge on the idealistic legacy of cosmopolitanism and world citizenship, blending those concepts with our real world experience to create learning vehicles and action projects that nurture the perception of common humanity among peoples and groups, and lead to more effective means of global cooperation, governance, and communication. This series of One World Study Circles is intended as a first step. We started at my dining room table with friends and neighbors, now, One World study circles are video-conferenced internationally. We also involve ourselves directly through One World-related service projects and organizations that build community bridges, One World school clubs, and educational programs intended to foster cosmopolitanism. We are not allied with, nor do we represent the views of, any existing political party, religion, or fraternal/civic organization, and we will actively discourage the advocacy of partisan views. The goal of these conversations will be to foster a greater awareness of our “global citizenship”, of our connection to each other across the boundaries of nations and states, of ethnicity, race and religion, socio-economic status and gender. One World Study Circles are intended to provide a safe space for the democratic exchange of ideas on the social and political issues relevant to cosmopolitanism. They are vehicles for deliberation, but they are also intended to be vehicles for community building and action planning. We hope you find these discussions enlightening, engaging, and open to your participation in this grand endeavor. Jack J.

There will be no survival of our globe without a global ethic. ii. There will be no peace among the nations without peace among the religions. iii. There will be no peace among the religions without dialogue and cooperation among the religions and civilizations C. Activity: How Easy is a Global Ethic? Facilitator leads exercise: 8 1. Each person must decide which 3 rights from the handout “Thirteen Basic Human Rights” they would choose as the most important. Give individuals the right to edit a statement to make it more acceptable to them. 2. After each person has decided, split the study circle into groups of 3 or 4 people and ask each group to negotiate an agreement on the 3 most important basic rights. 3. As time allows, ask the groups to then try and reach agreement with each other on the top 3 basic rights. D. Discussion Questions: 1. How easy was it for you to decide on three rights individually? 2. What did you struggle with? 3. Did you use your editorial right on any statement? 4. What was the process like in small group? 5. Who led? Dominated? Was the mediator? 6. Were you able to agree? Why or why not? 7.

    Notes and References Note: The presence of an asterisk at the end of a note indicates that the relevant quotation was originally in English, but has had to be translated back into English from the author's French text. 1 Communism and Youth I. Ralph Talcott Fisher Jr, Pattern for Soviet Youth (New York: Columbia University Press, 1959), p. 12. 2. The International Union of Socialist Youth Organizations (IUSYO) had been founded in Stuttgart in August 1907. It had been taken over by Miinzenberg during the First World War, while its leaders were absent. Under his direc­ tion, the IUS YO, renamed The International Centre of the Organizations of Socialist Youth (CIOJS), was to undergo profound structural changes. 3. E. H. Carr, The Bolshevik Revolution, 1917 to 1923 (London: Macmillan, 1952), p. 448. 4. His departure completed the total sovietization of the KIM. According to Margarete Huber-Neumann, from that time onwards Miinzenberg became aware of the danger the sovereign claims of the Russian party created for the international working-class movement. Cf. La revolution mondiale. L'his­ toire du Komintern ( 1919-1943), racontee par l'un de ses principaux temoins (Tournai: Casterman 1971). 5. Miinzenberg had all the talents of a captain of industry. Within a very short time he built up, independently of the international socialist organization, a chain of publishing houses, magazines, daily papers, a film company - in short a giant conglomerate that those within the Party called the 'Konzern Miinzenberg'. Heading this enormous financial empire, he devoted himself selflessly to the promotion of communism. Through his network of organiza­ tions, which stretched from England to Japan, he controlled a large number of periodicals (in Japan alone he edited, directly or indirectly, 19 publications in the 1930s), staged theatrical productions and produced films.

  • Women Storytellers
    Wisconsin Women Library Workers 2012 Quilt Women Storytellers 1. Pueblo “storyteller dolls” By Sue Searing Pueblo “storyteller dolls” are familiar museum shop objects: clay figurines, mouths open wide in the act of talking or singing, surrounded by smaller figures of clinging, rapt children. When I first became aware of these delightful small sculptures, I assumed they were an ancient traditional art. Many sources, however, state that the first storyteller doll was created in 1964 by a woman artist, Helen Cordero (1915-1994), of Cochiti Pueblo. Cordero’s first such doll honored her grandfather, and she reputedly insisted that genuine storyteller dolls must be male; she produced female versions but called them “singing mothers.” The figurines proved so popular with folk art collectors that many Pueblo potters began to produce variations of them, and today there is wide choice of designs, some closely adhering to traditional motifs and others reflecting a more modern sensibility. Storyteller dolls remind me of the nature of story itself – transmitted from one generation to the next, transformed by each new teller, old but always new. In a biography of Cordero on the website of the National Endowment for the Arts, she is quoted taling about her artistic process: “To make good potteries, you have to do it the right way, the old way, and you have to have a special happy feeling inside. All my potteries come out of my heart. I talk to them. They’re my little people, not just pretty things that I make for money.” Regardless of gender, that’s how storytellers feel too.

I have followed the Chicago Manual of Style, 16 th edition for referencing, with the exception of the use of single quotation marks in the British style. 2 Abstract This thesis offers a new interpretation of the life and importance of George Padmore (1903-1959). Padmore was one of the most well-known ‘black communists’ in the 1930s. He became a major nexus for anti-colonial resistance in London between 1935- 1957 and one of the foremost political thinkers behind the pan-African movement.

Knapp 14 Paul Lansky 17 Larry L. Peterson 20 Alejandro Portes 22 Kwame Anthony Appiah Kwame Anthony Akroma-Ampim Kusi Appiah was born in 1954 in London, but grew up in Ghana. The society wedding of his parents, Joseph Emmanuel Appiah, a lawyer, politician, and diplomat from Ghana, and the novelist and children’s writer Peggy Cripps, whose father had been Britain’s Chancellor of the Exchequer, had been widely covered in the international press a year earlier, and is said to have been one of the inspirations for the filmGuess Who’s Coming to Dinner. To say that Anthony was born into an unusual family would be an understatement. Educated in both Ghana and England, Anthony earned his B.A. and Ph.D. from the University of Cambridge, and then went on to teach at Yale, Cornell, Duke, and Harvard universities before moving to Princeton in 2002. At Princeton, he held appointments in the Department of Philosophy and the University Center for Human Values, as well as being associated with the Center for African American Studies, the Programs in African Studies and Translation and Intercultural Communication, and the Departments of Comparative Literature and Politics. Though Anthony retired from Princeton in February 2014, and immediately took up an appointment as professor of philosophy and law at New York University, he and his spouse Henry Finder, editorial director of The New Yorker, continue to divide their time between New York City and their farm in Pennington, New Jersey.

Forehand, Ph.D., Dean of the Graduate College ABSTRACT The British Indian Army, formed from the old presidency armies of the East India Company in 1895, was one of the pillars upon which Britain’s world empire rested. While much has been written on the colonial and global campaigns fought by the Indian Army as a tool of imperial power, comparatively little has been written about the transition of the army from British to Indian control after the end of the Second World War.
