Convivencia - Grinnell Singers

Convivencia is a term that has been used to describer the period of tense, but productive coexistence in medieval Spain between Jews, Muslims, and Christians.  The central impulse behind this musical work is the attempt to draw connections between these three cultures by focusing on aspects of experience that are shared by everyone around the globe and across the centuries: affection, desire, grief, loss.

PAST EVENTS

JANUARY 28, 2008, 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

Seminar on Immigration
hear PATRICIA FERNÁNDEZ-KELLY, Ph.D. Rutgers University: International Economic Development; Gender, Class and Ethnicity; Urban Sociology

Professor Fernández-Kelly has a joint appointment in Sociology and the Office of Population Research. She is a social anthropologist with an interest in international development and an early student of export-processing zones in Asia and Latin America. She will offer us material from a wonderful article called, "To Welcome the Stranger: Facts and Fictions about Illegal Immigration to the United States" offered at the Hispanic Theological Initiative Princeton Theological Seminary.

This seminar is sponsored by the Committee on Immigration. It will be a great opportunity to offer you and your membership some solid information and conversation on the issues we face with immigration. the seminar will be geared for those who know a lot about immigration and those who know very little. It will be directly for those in your membership who are confused and often reactionary. I strongly encourage clergy and rostered leaders bring members with you so that clergy and lay may see the migratory picture from the same vantage point.

RSVP for a dinner conversation with Professor Fernandez Kelly at 5:30 p.m.

The seminar will be at 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
