Clover, Suriani Dzulkifli, Hannah Gelderman and Kathy Sanford An initiative of The Gender Justice, Creative Pedagogies and Arts-Based Research Group, University of Victoria, Canada Designed and compiled by Hannah Gelderman and Suriani Dzulkifli Territory Acknowledgement We want to acknowledge that we designed and compiled this Feminist Adult Educators’ Guide to Aesthetic, Creative and Disruptive Strategies in Museums and Community based out of the University of Victoria, BC, Canada, a colonial institution on the lands of the Lək̓ ʷəŋən (Lekwungen) peoples, that today are known as the Songhees and Esquimalt Nations, and the W̱ SÁNEĆ peoples that today are the W̱JOȽEȽP (Tsartlip), BOḰEĆEN (Pauquachin), SȾÁUTW̱ (Tsawout), W̱SIḴEM (Tseycum) and MÁLEXEȽ (Malahat) Nations, all which have a historical and ongoing relationship with these lands. As settlers and visitors to this land who are also working in this institution that has an immanent connection between colonialism and all forms of violence, we, as feminist adult educators continue to work towards decolonizing and dismantling these systems of patriarchy, dominance and oppression through ways such as producing and publishing this Guide. We are grateful to the communities of the local Peoples and Nations to be able to live, play and work on these lands. We are grateful to have the opportunity to learn from those who have lived on these lands for a millennia and who continue to resist colonization and genocide, while offering paths forward for us as human beings to respectfully be in the right relationship with these lands and each other.

Dissertation Advisor: Author: Professor George G. Grabowicz Giovanna Siedina The Reception of Horace in the Courses of Poetics at the Kyiv Mohyla Academy: 17th-First Half of the 18th Century Abstract For the first time, the reception of the poetic legacy of the Latin poet Horace (65 B.C.-8 B.C.) in the poetics courses taught at the Kyiv Mohyla Academy (17th-first half of the 18th century) has become the subject of a wide-ranging research project presented in this dissertation. Quotations from Horace and references to his oeuvre have been divided according to the function they perform in the poetics manuals, the aim of which was to teach pupils how to compose Latin poetry. Three main aspects have been identified: the first consists of theoretical recommendations useful to the would-be poets, which are taken mainly from Horace’s Ars poetica.

  • POETRY, FEMINISM, and PROTEST Introduction
    POETRY, FEMINISM, AND PROTEST Introduction In this set of lessons, students will explore the often-overlooked relationship between poetry and politics. Poets like Anne Sexton, Adrienne Rich, and Audre Lorde create vital dialogue about the relationship between the daily lives of women and structures of power. The poems and essays below will be examined through a feminist-activist lens. Ø Anne Sexton, “Little Girl, My String Bean, My Lovely Woman” Ø Adrienne Rich, “Anne Sexton: 1928- 1974” Ø Audre Lorde, “Power” and “Poetry is Not a Luxury” Essential Question: Ø How can poetry serve as a form of feminist social protest? FOR THE TEACHER: ADRIENNE RICH AND ANNE SEXTON 1. Explain to students that after Anne Sexton took her own life in 1974, Adrienne Rich delivered a eulogy for Sexton, celebrating her poem “Little Girl, My String Bean, My Lovely Woman.” 2. Explain to the students how Sexton’s poem is central to Rich’s eulogy of Sexton and helps to better illustrate what Rich and others mean when they try and expand the definition of feminist poetry. 3. Ask your students to read the poem by Sexton and essay by Rich and to complete the attached questions. Then use those answers to inform a class discussion. 4. Feminist theorist bell hooks defines feminism as “a movement to end sexism, sexist exploitation, and oppression.” After students have answered the worksheet questions, share hooks’s definition of feminism and ask students to consider how Rich’s essay and Sexton’s poem address feminist ideas or goals. 5. For further reading: In a 2013 issue on women in fiction, Vice magaZine included a fashion spread of seven models depicting famous female writers who died by suicide, but without any mention of the writers’ works.

The region’s security system equally made great effort to ensure successful implementation of the study despite the existing security challenges in the regions. This study would not have been possible without the financial and technical support of UNHCR. We are therefore very grateful to all of those with whom we have had the pleasure to work with from planning stages to the actual implementation of the assessment. It is MCA-Network’s belief that our Knowledge and Experience with local communities have placed us at an advantage to ensure greater quality in service delivery and sustainable working partnership between the Network organizations and the people of both Kismayo and Mogadishu regions and beyond.

As convener since the start of 2013, I have had many wonderful opportunities to meet with our members and friends, at ANU and beyond. My speaking invitations have included those from staff associations at CSIRO and Government House, as well as from the women’s caucus of the Australian Education Union.
