Should you be thinking about the tenure process when you are applying to different types of institutions? And when you are offered a tenure-track position, what role should the tenure process play in your negotiations? Are you unsure about whether the tenure clock can be stopped, and for what reasons? If you have questions about any aspect of tenure as it relates to your academic job search, then bring your questions to this program. The speaker for this program will be:

"Competing Visions: Women's Participation in Religious Movements in Mozambique"
February 24, 2012
12:00 - 2:00 PM
639 Williams Hall
Abstract:
++++++++
In recent years, new Pentecostal-style churches have proliferated around the world. Expanding at astonishing rates in Africa, Latin America, and Asia, the growth of Pentecostal-Charismatic Churches has shifted the global center of gravity of Christianity from the West to the global South. In this presentation, I discuss how the growth of Pentecostal churches in central Mozambique has been taking place alongside similarly dramatic transformations in the practices of so-called “traditional” religion. Each of these different traditions of social healing provides contrasting visions for how to re-order society. Examining women’s participation in contrasting and opposed networks of religious and spiritual healing illuminates how, through religious practices, women are creating and adopting new strategies to cope with increasing pressures in their daily lives.

Contesting Epidemics: How Brazil's Response outpaced the United States and the other Emerging Nations
February 23, 2012
12:00 - 1:00 PM

To register for the event please click the following link and fill out the form: RSVP HERE
About the book:
How did Brazil eventually outpace the United States when it came to responding to politically contested health epidemics? In this book, Dr. Gomez argues that how governing elites positioned themselves in the world mattered when creating incentives for an aggressive policy response to diseases such as AIDS, TB, and obesity. While Brazil and the US, as well as the other emerging nations, such as India, China, Russia, and South Africa, were initially delayed in responding to these epidemics, by the mid-1990s, heightened international criticism and pressures motivated Brazil's governing elites to heighten their response. They did so because these elites positioned themselves as emerging nations seeking to work in close partnership with the international community while striving to increase their international reputation. Conversely, when these criticisms emerged, US governing elites had no such interest. At the same time, Brazil's health officials worked closely with social movements and NGOs to muster further support for their initiatives. However, in the US, health officials did not seek to partner closely with NGOs and to strategically use them for congressional support. With regards to the other emerging nations, while India and China most closely resembled Brazil in terms of positively responding to international criticism, the absence of close state-civil societal partnerships has not led to effective, ongoing reforms. Russia and South Africa's response, on the other hand, has been most similar to the US, in that governing elites have been apathetic to international criticisms and have pursued reforms on their own. In summary, how . Brazil's governing elites Brazil outpaced not only the US but the other emerging nations in its response to elite contested epidemics by combining their concern with international reputation building with forging close and enduring partnerships with civil society.
