TO PAY attention THIS IS OUR endless and PROPER Mary Oliver WORK. BOULDER www.theacademyboulder.com 970 Aurora Avenue | Boulder, Colorado Welcome Welcome to the 71st CU Boulder Conference on World Affairs! This week, over 100 speakers and performers representing 19 countries will gather on the CU Boulder campus to share their observations, their music, their movies, and more with our audiences . Many of your favorite contributors are returning to the CWA, and more than 60% of this year’s speakers are new to us, so give our first-time guests a warm welcome! The 71st CU Boulder CWA is the most diverse yet . Half of our speakers this year are women, and all of our speakers are sure to bring a wide array of perspectives and life experiences to their conversations . From left: Margaret Hollingsworth, CWA Program Committee Chair/Vice We’re excited this year to offer a Tuesday through Chair, Laurie Hathorn, CWA Community Chair, John Griffin, CWA Faculty Director Saturday schedule, one component of our broader Photo by Casey A. Cass/University of Colorado Boulder effort to make the CWA more accessible to those who are working or attending school on weekdays . This is sure to be an adjustment for all of us (yes, the Jazz Concert is on Wednesday, not Tuesday, night), but we hope that the change will be well worth it . Please let us know what you think of the new schedule, and any other feature of the CWA, by completing our audience survey on the CWA app or website . Our core themes this year are 1) Disruptive Technology, 2) Design for Life, and 3) Women and Girls Changing the World. You will find a concentration of speakers and panels addressing these themes. We hope you will also be delighted by the wide variety of other topics on offer at CWA 2019. As we look forward to a special week, we thank all those so committed to making the CWA a success each year: the CWA office team, our student and community volunteers, our University partners, and the corporate, foundation, and individual donors who contribute so generously to the Conference . We hope you enjoy a wonderful CWA Week!

  • Chapter 4 the Right-Wing Media Enablers of Anti-Islam Propaganda
    Chapter 4 The right-wing media enablers of anti-Islam propaganda Spreading anti-Muslim hate in America depends on a well-developed right-wing media echo chamber to amplify a few marginal voices. The think tank misinforma- tion experts and grassroots and religious-right organizations profiled in this report boast a symbiotic relationship with a loosely aligned, ideologically-akin group of right-wing blogs, magazines, radio stations, newspapers, and television news shows to spread their anti-Islam messages and myths. The media outlets, in turn, give members of this network the exposure needed to amplify their message, reach larger audiences, drive fundraising numbers, and grow their membership base. Some well-established conservative media outlets are a key part of this echo cham- ber, mixing coverage of alarmist threats posed by the mere existence of Muslims in America with other news stories. Chief among the media partners are the Fox News empire,1 the influential conservative magazine National Review and its website,2 a host of right-wing radio hosts, The Washington Times newspaper and website,3 and the Christian Broadcasting Network and website.4 They tout Frank Gaffney, David Yerushalmi, Daniel Pipes, Robert Spencer, Steven Emerson, and others as experts, and invite supposedly moderate Muslim and Arabs to endorse bigoted views. In so doing, these media organizations amplify harm- ful, anti-Muslim views to wide audiences. (See box on page 86) In this chapter we profile some of the right-wing media enablers, beginning with the websites, then hate radio, then the television outlets. The websites A network of right-wing websites and blogs are frequently the primary movers of anti-Muslim messages and myths.

Dincer Senior Thesis Brown University Department of Religious Studies Adviser: Paul Nahme Second Reader: Daniel Vaca Providence, Rhode Island April 15, 20 2 Table of Contents Acknowledgments. 3 Introduction: Making the Internet Holy. .4 Chapter (1) A Technophilic Genealogy: Piracy and Syntheism as Cybernetic Offspring. .12 Chapter (2) The Atheist Theology of Syntheism . 49 Chapter (3) Enacted Syntheisms: An Ethics of Active Virtuality and Virtual Activity. 96 (In)Conclusions. 138 Works Cited. 144 3 Acknowledgments I would briefly like to thank anyone who has had a hand—actually, even the slightest brush of a finger in making this project materialize outside of the confines of my own brain matter. I would first like to thank Kerri Heffernan and my Royce Fellowship cohort for supporting my initial research on the Church of Kopimism. My time in Berlin and Stockholm on behalf of the Royce made an indelible mark on my entire academic career thus far, without which this thesis would definitely not be as out-of-the-box as it is proud to be. I would also like to thank a few professors in the Religious Studies department who, whether they were aware of it or not, encouraged my confidence in this area of study and shaped how I approached the religious communities this project concerns. Specifically, thank you to Prof. Denzey-Lewis, who taught my first religious studies course at Brown and graciously sponsored my Royce research amidst her own travels. Also, infinite thanks and blessings to Fannie Bialek, who so deftly modeled all that is good in this discipline, and all that is most noble in the often confusing, frustrating, and stressful task of teaching “hard” topics.

The exhibition conveys a complexity of place and people through film, photographs, installations and sculptures that highlight Arctic landscape and culture. “View From Up Here” also offers glimpses into the future of the Arctic within the context of great environmental and cultural change. The artworks in the exhibition offer insights into the North, presenting the North from a broader perspective. Participating artists range from Indigenous artists from Alaska offering an insider view of the North to international contemporary artists who have visited and studied the Arctic. The exhibition will have components throughout the museum, from formal galleries to an informal "living room" that offers gathering space for investigation and conversation, as well as installations in common spaces and outdoors. It is accompanied by public programs, including performances, in the museum and out in the community. A corresponding publication supports examination of the North beyond black-and-white perspectives.
