Rotary World Peace Fellows are leaders promoting national and international cooperation, peace, and the successful resolution of conflict throughout their lives, in their careers, and through service activities. Fellows can earn either a master’s degree in international relations, public administration, sustainable development, peace studies, conflict resolution, or a related field, or a professional development certificate in peace and conflict resolution. As part of this distinguished award, Dr. McIntosh will spend three months next summer at Chulalongkorn University in Thailand at the Rotary Center for International Studies in Peace and Conflict Resolution. "There is no one more deserving of this honor than Ian, whose entire career has been dedicated to advancing cross-cultural understanding and cooperation, whether this was through his work with Aboriginal land rights in Australia, reforestation in Armenia, the global NGO known as Cultural Survival, or his leadership of IUPUI’s international partnership program," said Susan Buck Sutton, Associate Vice Chancellor of International Affairs at IUPUI, Chancellor's P:rofessor of Anthropology, and Associate Vice President, Office of the Vice President of International Affairs, Indiana University. The purpose of the Rotary Centers program is to: Support and advance research, teaching, publication, and practical field experience on issues of peace, goodwill, causes of conflict, and world understanding Inspire people to work for a culture of peace and tolerance while enhancing their capacity, knowledge, and skill by generating interaction between practitioners and academics Provide advanced international education opportunities in the area of peace and conflict resolution Provide a means for The Rotary Foundation and Rotarians to increase their effectiveness in promoting greater tolerance and cooperation among peoples, leading to world understanding and peace Dr. McIntosh's research interests focus on issues of truth and reconciliation in global perspective and he teaches a class at IUPUI that utilizes a unique 'reconciliation barometer' to shed light on the quest for reconciliation through treaties, peace accords, apologies, reparations, truth commissions, trials and memorials. In partnership with the Scholars at Risk Network of New York University, and Human Rights Works, he coordinates the “Voices at Risk, Visions of Hope” speaker series at IUPUI. This series provides opportunities for our faculty, staff, and students to interact via video-conference with some of the world’s most distinguished scholars who, as a result of their advocacy for human rights and justice in their homelands, have been forced to take refuge in the USA.   Wed, 18 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0500 http://newscenter.iupui.edu/images/60_sq_mcintosh.jpg http://newscenter.iupui.edu/images/200_mcintosh.jpg http://newscenter.iupui.edu/4350/Kathleen-Grove-Receives-Professional-Award-of-Merit http://newscenter.iupui.edu/4350/Kathleen-Grove-Receives-Professional-Award-of-Merit The Indiana Association for Marriage and Family Therapy recently presented an Award of Merit to Kathleen Grove, director of the IUPUI Office for Women.

This year, for the first time, the Midwestern Psychological Association recognized its most distinguished members by awarding them Fellow Status in the Association. Association members recently approved a bylaws change so that it could recognize individuals who have made significant and unusual contributions to the science of psychology and/or to the Midwestern Psychological Association. “Our selection of Charter Fellows of the Midwestern Psychological Association was based on evidence of the member’s superior contribution to the field of psychology. In this initial selection, only about 100 of our members met this high standard,” said Janice R. Kelly President, Midwestern Psychological Association. Charter Fellows will be recognized immediately prior to the Presidential Address at the 2010 meeting of the Association, on April 30, 2010. With more than 1500 members, the MPA is one of the largest psychological associations in the world. Members hold positions in universities, colleges, hospitals, clinics, school systems, business and industry, government and private practice. They teach, conduct research in laboratory, field, and industrial settings, do diagnosis, therapy, and counseling, and serve as administrators and consultants. Their interests are among the most diverse in any professional association: from the physiology of vision to social stereotyping, from political psychology to medical psychology, from organizational behavior to children's language development, from memory to depression, from sex roles to drug addiction.   Fri, 06 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0500 http://newscenter.iupui.edu/images/60_sq_appleby.jpg http://newscenter.iupui.edu/images/200_appleby.jpg http://newscenter.iupui.edu/4320/IU-School-of-Nursing-Faculty-Receive-National-Recognition-from-the-National-League-for-Nursing http://newscenter.iupui.edu/4320/IU-School-of-Nursing-Faculty-Receive-National-Recognition-from-the-National-League-for-Nursing Four IU School of Nursing faculty members were recognized during the annual National League for Nursing Education Summit, September 23-26, 2009--a four-day gathering of nurse educators and administrators at the Marriott Downtown in Philadelphia, PA.

The book is, “Jata Removal Movement, Unfolding the ‘Gender’ in Politico-Religious Society,” and is being released this month by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. “Matting of hairs has several superstitions attached to it which violates women’s human rights. Due of matting of hairs (called Jata) women receive social, cultural and religious attention, and forced to follow number of rituals against their choice. The personal, familial and social drudgery faced by women due to this issue is severe. There is no recognition of the issue at policy level. Matting of hairs creates stigmatization and stress among women and affects their psychosocial wellbeing”, Govind explained. He collaborated with Sudhir Kumbhar, an Indian academician and social worker for this project. Govind intends to focus on gender issues and social policy in his research at IU. He is associated with Jata (matted hair) Removal Movement in India. Not much research has been done on the reasons why the women’s hair becomes matted, Govind explained. It could be as simple as a lack of proper care because women too overburdened with work to the hair care that is needed. Once it becomes matted though, it can lead to several physical and psychological health problems over time. But simply removing the matted hair is not a step that families are willing to chance. Some people view the hair as a sign of an act by a goddess and it is believed that the person with such hair has divine powers. Women with such hair are believed to have the powers to put a curse on others and thus people give those with matted hair a certain amount of respect out of fear of what might happen if they don’t. There are several superstitions that control the reinforcement of the rite about matted hairs. To seek out the advice of priests about what to do costs money, which the women and their families often don’t have. Some poor families become indebted due to such expenses for rituals. They are forced up by the religious superstitions to keep the matted hairs. The issue of matted hairs is linked with the rigid and oppressive tradition of devdasi who carry jata as one of the customary symbol. Devdasi rite is sexual exploitation of women by the politico- religious leaders and majority of the devdasis belong to the dalit communities. The symbol of matted hairs carried by devdasi has stigma attached to it and hence it leads to drudgery of women who get affected with matted hairs. The jata removal movement began with removal of matted hairs of devdasi and spread it to the masses. Even educated individuals are most of the time can’t take stand against traditions, Govind said. He recalled one woman who lived with matted hair for decades before she finally had it removed when she was 76. Another case involved a young girl who got matted hair when she was a toddler and suffered health problems until her family was convinced it was ok to remove the matted hair when she was about 11-years-old. A network of jata (matted hair) removal activists are sometimes contacted by a friends or relatives of the person with matted hair. The activists work slowly with the family to get them to consider removing the matted hair. It’s not a situation where activists can simply go to the family and tell them to cut the matted hair, Govind said. Instead, they have to counsel family to overcome their belief in superstitions and make them understand it is in the best interest of their near ones to remove the hair. “The matted hair removal movement has been a scientific movement rooted in rational humanist thinking about beliefs and traditions. A forced life with matted hair is a serious but neglected human right violation and there is an urgent need of further public policy, social research, and social work interventions” Govind elaborated.

Thus, its engagement effect is not only positive for its own students, faculty, and community, but for others as well. We are pleased that Dobelle’s study placed us at the top of U.S. universities—with two leading private institutions (the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia and University of Southern California in Los Angeles), which have invested millions in rebuilding their neighborhoods, and with two urban public universities (the University of Houston and University of Missouri at Kansas City). During this, our 40th anniversary year, community members expressed their praise for IUPUI’s impact. By pursuing the vision of community leaders who in 1969 emphatically said, “A great city must have a great university,” we have built an IUPUI that makes a difference. As I said at the 40th Anniversary Staff and Faculty Recognition Breakfast last month, the credit for all this goes to all of you.

Among the highlights of the 19th reunion of the Neal-Marshall Alumni Club will be an empowerment workshop with popular radio and television personality, author and IU alumnus Tavis Smiley, and a gospel concert by IU alumnus Dr. Leonard Scott and fellow Tyscot recording artists Nu Tradition. In addition, there will be a performance of selected scenes from the play, "sonnets for my sistahs," written by another IU alumnus, Vernon Williams. Most of the reunion events will take place at the University Place Conference Center at IUPUI. The alumni club, which includes African American alumni from all eight IU campuses, has a reunion every two years, and this year opted to expand it to four days of activities. Registration is $150 for all four-days. However, the fee is discounted to $125 for those who register online at https://alumni.indiana.edu/reserve/nation/, (university faculty and staff pay $100 if they register online). The cost for Thursday only is $25; Friday only, $35; and Saturday only, $100. Sunday's gospel concert is free and open to the public. ""The club is extremely important. When you go back to the founding members and the reason it was founded, it's an opportunity to help our graduates reconnect with the university, to stay active and stay involved," Jerrol Z. Miles, national president of the Neal-Marshall Alumni Club and a banker based in Louisville, said of the organization. "It's also an opportunity to keep in the forefront the contributions of African Americans at IU." Prior to 1980, African American graduates of IU had few formal ways to stay in touch with each other or their alma mater. That year, 10 founding members created the affiliate club of the IU Alumni Association as a way to increase African American participation in local and national IU alumni groups. Today, its mission includes addressing the needs of black students, faculty and staff, as well promoting awareness of the history, traditions and legacy of African Americans at IU. The club will release at the reunion a new hard-bound, international membership directory of its 22,000 alumni. The club is named for IU's first African American male and female graduates of Indiana University, Marcellus Neal, who received a bachelor of arts degree in 1895, and Frances Marshall, who received a bachelor of arts degree in 1919. "Since its inception in 1981 (when the club was chartered), the Neal-Marshall Alumni Club has exemplified the resilient spirit and legacy of its two pioneering founders, Marcellus Neal and Frances Marshall. The club supplies a successful means to engage alumni with their alma mater," said Tom Martz, president and chief executive officer of the IU Alumni Association. "Neal-Marshall Reunion XIX will contain exciting programs and events to suit everyone, and will provide an opportunity to reminisce and share exciting news, achievements and milestones." The Neal-Marshall Alumni Club has chapters in Atlanta, Louisville/New Albany, northwest Indiana, South Bend and its newest chapter, in Indianapolis. New chapters are being organized in Bloomington, Kokomo and Washington, D.C. Despite his many professional activities, Smiley has maintained close ties to IU and returned on several occasions for major campus events. He has served as grand marshal at homecoming and as a commencement speaker. "Reunions are always a great opportunity for socializing and camaraderie. The Neal-Marshall reunion will be all that and more this year. It's a party with a purpose," added Smiley, who earned a degree from IU in public and environmental affairs and received a a Doctor of Humane Letters degree from IU Kokomo. With his late night television talk show, "Tavis Smiley," and his radio show "The Tavis Smiley Show," Smiley was the first American ever to simultaneously host signature talk shows on both PBS and National Public Radio. "The Tavis Smiley Show" on public radio is now distributed by Public Radio International (PRI). He also offers political commentary on the "Tom Joyner Morning Show," "Meet the Press" and other programs. He is the author or editor of 14 books, including his latest,  Accountable: Making America as Good as Its Promise (Atria, 2009); What I Know for Sure: My Story of Growing Up in America (Doubleday, 2006); and Keeping the Faith: Stories of Love, Courage, Healing and Hope from Black America (Doubleday, 2002), a collection of narratives about love, loss and faith by African Americans from all walks of life. Smiley also is the founder of the Tavis Smiley Foundation, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to encourage, empower and enlighten black youth. Youth to Leaders, the cornerstone program of the foundation, is an annual series of one-day leadership-building conferences that take place in cities across the United States. Other reunion events will include a performance of "sonnets for my sistahs" Thursday evening at the Indiana Historical Society, 450 W. Ohio St., including a reception with cast and crew to follow. Friday's activities will include "Jazz on the Avenue: Harvey and the Bluetones," at the Madame Walker Theatre Center, 617 Indiana Ave., a concert and dinner buffet. On Saturday, in addition to Smiley's breakfast presentation, there will be breakout sessions to discuss empowerment, IUPUI campus tours, a performance by the McCutchen and Mahluli Jazz Quartet and a banquet. Sunday activities will include an ecumenical worship service and "Gospel Explosion," featuring Scott, a graduate of the IU School of Dentistry and founder and president of the nation's oldest black-owned gospel recording company, Tyscot Inc. Tyscot has been home to John P. Kee and The New Life Community Choir, Deitrick and Damita Haddon and Bishop Noel Jones and City of Refuge. Scott will perform with Austin Moore and his choir Nu Tradition.

Now in its fifth year, the Cox Scholarship program was started with a $15 million contribution from IU alumnus Jesse Cox and his wife, Beulah. The Coxes initiated the scholarship fund to reward students who balance both work and school in the pursuit of an IU degree, just as Jesse Cox did during the 1930s. "Because of the foresight and generosity of Jesse and Beulah Cox, these 21 bright and industrious students are assured of being able to finance their education, even in these tough economic times," said Gene Tempel, president of the Indiana University Foundation. "Because of their hard work and the education Jesse received at Indiana University, the Coxes successfully made their way despite the challenges of the Great Depression. They left the best legacy possible, by providing scholarships for the next generation of dedicated students. No doubt they would be very proud of these scholars," Tempel added. The Jesse H. and Beulah Chanely Cox Scholarship fund is IU's most charitable merit-based scholarship for working students who are in-state residents. The renewable scholarship provides 75 percent of the estimated cost of attendance at IU Bloomington and Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis. Always determined and enterprising, Jesse Cox began his entrepreneurial career with a transit and mimeograph service while in college at IU Bloomington. Following his graduation, he and Beulah started the J.H. Cox Manufacturing Co., a wholesale venetian blind company. They then purchased a small bankrupt company and started the Aero Blind and Drapery Co. They turned the company into the leading window treatment company in the upper Midwest. After selling this company in 1982, they next went on to develop businesses in both agriculture and commercial real estate in Monroe, Boone, Hamilton and Putnam counties.
