Min-Zhan Lu
Questions for Pre-Reading
1. In the opening paragraph Min-Zhan Lu writes that “conflict and strug-
gle” are necessary for “any attempt to achieve multiculturalism in the
United States of today.” What do you make of the essay beginning with
this claim?
2. What do you think about Lu’s examples of “cultural tourism”? What
examples of cultural tourism come to mind from your experiences or
those of people you know?
3. How will you respond to Lu’s statement that “the freedom of the privi-
leged is oftentimes grounded in the oppression of an other”? Notice
that she didn’t write “another” but “an other.” What could she mean by
that?
4. Lu maintains that life in the contact zone “invites us to cause waves, to
ask how and why rather than just nodding politely to statements with
which we agree or disagree.” How and why do you agree and/or dis-
agree with her about how best to respond to contact zones?
Questions for Relating to Other Selections
1. Explore the writer’s claim that most people are “eager to identify with
democratic ideals such as justice, equality, and freedom for all.” Is Lu
correct that we can “mobilize . . . the moral power of American demo-
cratic ideals . . . to pressure ourselves to overcome our fear of entering
a contact zone”? How can we mobilize this moral power that repre-
sents the best that is in us all? Does Peter Lamborn Wilson, in “Against
Multiculturalism,” share any version of Lu’s trust in an idealistic demo-
cratic core to most Americans that can be mobilized for constructive
cross-cultural or cross-racial contact zone work?
2. What would a dialogue between Lu and Wilson be like, do you sup-
pose, if each were asked to review the other’s selection in this book?
232 M I N - Z H A N L U
Specifically, imagine how they would talk about and relate Lu’s “cul-
tural tourism” focus to Wilson’s rejection of multiculturalism as “hege-
monic particularism.”

O. The following essay, published in
Harper’s in September 1999, is a critique of the quality of required reading in American high schools.

ike most parents who have, against all odds, preserved a lively and still evolv- ing passion for good books, I find myself, each September, increasingly appalled by the dismal lists of texts that my sons are doomed to waste a school year reading. What I get as compensation is a measure of insight into why our society has come to admire Montel Williams and Ricki Lake so much more than Dante and Homer. Given the dreariness with which literature is taught in many American classrooms, it seems miraculous that any sentient teenager would view reading as a source of pleasure. Traditionally, the love of reading has been born and nurtured in high school English class — the last time many students will find themselves in a roomful of people who have all read the same text and are, in theory, prepared to discuss it. High school — even more than college — is where literary tastes and allegiances are formed: what we read in adolescence is imprinted
L
on our brains as the dreary notions of childhood crystallize into hard data.

The intense loyalty adults harbor for books first encountered in youth is one probable reason for the otherwise baffling longevity of vintage mediocre novels, books that teachers may themselves have read in adolescence; it is also the most plausible explanation for the peculiar [1998] Modern Library list of the “100 Best Novels of the 20.

Hosted by the iSchool at the University of Illnois
Social media used in school libraries has become an essential tool that library practitioners increasingly use. These powerful online publications can help connect students, teachers, parents and the community to events that take place within the library. Social media is not only a promotional tool, but a means of engaging stakeholders and forging new partnerships. Join school librarian K.C. Boyd as she shares ways that librarians can use social media for branding, digital outreach, and instruction.
Here's a recent presentation I gave to the Youth Librarians of Illinois. "Resources that Help Us Represent," discusses how I have effectively used book vendors, publishing houses, websites, databases and books while working as a school librarian. Enjoy!
We know that you know all the wonderful things going on inside your library, but does everyone else? View the steps in promoting your program to your students, administration, staff, and community. Highlights of this session will include free resource you can (and should) use, clever ideas for promoting your program, and how you can use this to document your professional growth and portfolio. KC will also share Department of Libraries resources that you can use.

The Wendell Phillips Academy High School Pinterest page has been active since fall of 2013. The page/account was established as a result of the numerous pictures, videos that have been created over the last four years by staff and students. This curation tool has been very helpful in several ways.
First, it provides students, teachers, community and interested stakeholders with a portal for information about events taking place at Phillips. Academically, the boards have served as a teaching tool during Black History Month, Women's History Month and Poetry
Month. Students and teachers are able to access organized links to articles, pictures and videos are a variety of subjects. Through our history board, visitors of Wendell Phillips Academy High School are able to learn more about our illustrious history within the Bronzeville community and contributions to the city of Chicago.
Lastly, the boards support all things positive at Phillips high school! Follow us today at: pinterest.com/auslwpahs

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
