Being Muslim in Western Countries: Identity, Acculturation and Psychological Adaptation
By: Professor Colleen Ward Victoria University of Wellington New Zealand Date: 20th October 2011 Time: 12 00- 13 00 hrs Venue: Engineering Lecture Theatre 1 (ELT1), FoE Organised by: Psychology Unit, (Faculty of Social Studies and Humanities) Abstract: The presentation draws from a series of studies undertaken with the Muslim community in New Zealand and Muslim youth abroad. First, the importance of religious identity for the psychological well-being of Muslim women in New Zealand is examined. Survey findings show that psychological identity as Muslim and religious practices, including wearing hijab, all positively influence well-being, although each of these facets of identity operate in different ways. Second, our research with Muslim youth shows that they aspire not only to retain their religious and ethnic identities, but also to be like other New Zealanders, and that this "integrated" approach to acculturation is associated with positive psychological outcomes. The strategies used by young Muslims to achieve integration and "balance" are further explored in qualitative research combining data from interviews, focus groups and identity mapping. Finally, it is argued that the success that young Muslims have in attaining "balance" and psychological. Finally, it is argued that the success that young Muslims have in attaining "balance" and psychological well-being is partially determined by the societies in which they live; more specifically, a (perceived) multicultural environment and positive attitudes toward immigrants foster positive adaptation in youth. These results are based on: a) comparative surveys with young Muslims in New Zealand and the United Kingdom and b) multi-level modelling with societal-level archival values and attitude data from nine countries and individual-level survey data from young Muslims in the International Comparative Study of Ethno-cultural Youth.

Haunted by History: The Life and Afterlife of Gandhi in Popular Cinema
by
Prof. Makarand R Paranjape ICCR Chair in Indian Studies, South Asian Studies Programme, NUS Professor of English, JNU
Date: 16 June 2011 Time: 15.00 - 16.00 hrs Venue: R Burrenchobay Lecture Theatre (RBLT) Organised by: Department of English, FSSH
ABSTRACT: This talk examines how Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi is portrayed in popular cinema. I take up for my discussion the two most significant of such portrayals, Richard Attenborough's Gandhi (1982) and Rajkumar Hirani's Lage Raho Munna Bhai (2006). Not only do these two dissimilar representations symbolize the difference between Hollywood and Bollywood, but, as I shall try to suggest, they also highlight the connections between the life and the afterlife of the Mahatma, between history and mythmaking, between idealization and action, in brief between two ways of reading and doing Gandhi in our world. Makarand R. Paranjape is a Professor of English at Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, on deputation as ICCR Chair in Indian Studies at NUS. His latest books include two monographs, Altered Destinations: Self, Society, and Nation in India (2009) and Another Canon: Indian Texts and Traditions in English (2010).

From Space-time and Quantum Mechanics to String Theory
by Prof. Robert De Mello Koch Research Chair in Fundamental Physics and String Theory, School of Physics, University of Witwaterstrand, South Africa
Date: 9 June 2011 Time: 11.00 hrs Venue: Lecture Theatre 1 (LT1) Organised by: Department of Physics, Faculty of Science Abstract: In Einstein's theory of General Relativity, the gravitational force is replaced by a curving of space-time. The three microscopic forces arise from force-carrying particles in Quantum Field Theory. A unified description of nature requires a synthesis of General Relativity and Quantum Field Theory. The difficulties in achieving this unification are discussed, and the most promising candidate for this unified theory, String Theory, is described.

Language and Religion: Is English a Judeo- Christian Language?
Date: 11 February 2011
Time: 16.00 hrs
Venue: Sir Edward Lim Fat Engg. Tower - ELT II
Organised by: Faculty of Social Studies and Humanities
ABSTRACT:
This paper will question the relationship between language and religion by critically examining the position that English is a Judeo-Christian language (e.g. see Wierzbicka, 2001). Using a World Englishes framework, this paper will argue that the English language has been localized and nativized in different ways around the world, leading to shifts in its 'core' semantics. This shift – a result of a process of resementicization – suggests that there is no intrinsic relationship between language and religion. This finding has considerable implications for work in the area of language policy and practice, language teaching, as well as on our understanding of how language works and how it functions in society.

Awareness Campaign 2010
Eco-Campus
We are pleased to inform you that following the Vice-Chancellor, Prof K Morgan, request, the Public Relations Office is launching an ECO-Awareness Campaign on UOM Campus.
Promoting an ECO-campus is a two-pronged exercise - one concerns an environmental management system and the other, an individual behavioural management.
This campaign is focusing on the second aspect, that is to bring change in staff and students' behavior in order to stop wastage, improve energy efficiency and go greener.
It is designed to inform and support projects of academics, as well as to inspire eco-friendly practices amongst students and staff on campus.
Hence information would be sent to you daily during the campaign period to allow you to take stock of universities achievements with regards to measures already taken, in terms of saving or reconversion of energy supplies ,preventing wastage & Go greener efforts, as well as activities which are currently taking place on campus
We would welcome any individual measure taken at the level of your Faculty, Centre, Department, Office, with your students, Unions and Clubs to be included on our facts sheet.
Relying on your willingness to make the campus a wonderful place to work and study.

PUBLIC LECTURE - 12 Nov 2010
Tenzing Norgay's Four FlagsTenzing Norgay's Four Flags
by Professor Stephen Slemon Associate Chair, (Research) English & Film Studies University of Alberta
Date: 12 November 2010 Time: 16.00 hrs Venue: Lecture Theatre II (NAC) Organised by: Department of English Studies, Faculty of Social Studies and Humanities Abstract This paper seeks to understand the cultural semiotics of a single moment: 11.30 a.m. on May 29, 1953, as Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary stand triumphant atop Chomolungma - Mount Everest - the Rooftop of the World. The moment marks the apex of Empire, but also its end. And it marks the turning point of mountaineering itself: from summit nationalism into media spectacle and consumer fetishization. My argument is that within Tenzing's principled mountain-top stance one might find a model for cross-cultural reciprocity and social partnership that dominant Western culture has yet to learn.
