[Oe List ...] July in Oklahoma

Terry (and colleagues on the listserv) -


Will not make Oklahoma but am curious where Gordon and his crew were led with their University 13 task force.


Have friends in the Community College here (only public institution beyond High School) and am periodically ask how "recreating the human" spells out in academe.  I had a good feel for the direction of University 13 before, and I am more than curious where it is at now.


Will remember you all who are heading to Oklahoma.

Subject: [Oe List ...] July in Oklahoma


Work is progressing on the summer research event in Oklahoma, July 12-14. While 
information has been posted before about this on these listservs, now is the 
time to finalize plans to attend -- especially since air ticket prices tend to 
jump when made less than 21 days in advance. 

To summarize again, the event is co-sponsored by the Oikos Scholars Program at 
Oklahoma City University and the Institute of Cultural Affairs (USA). It is a 
three-day gathering focused on ways that higher education can (1) engage 
students and society as a whole with the most pressing social and ecological 
challenges of the twenty-first century and (2) help educate and develop moral 
leaders in relation to the issues of peacemaking, social justice and ecological 
sustainability. The event will be attended by faculty, students, as well as 
concerned individuals like ourselves. The Plenary Sessions will be led by: David 
Rowe, President of Centenary College; Larry Ward, Director of the Lotus 
Institute; Amy Maglio, Executive Director of the Women's Global Education 
Project, and representatives from the Living Archives of EI/OE/ICA.

The ICA-Oikos partnership is a unique opportunity to inject the wisdom of 
EI/OE/ICA into a new future-oriented dialogue. While the focus in particular is 
on higher education, the implications are far reaching to every sector of 
society. Follow-up research events in 2011, 2012, and 2013 will continue the 
work. The door is wide open to shape them appropriately in response to the 
urgency of the times.

If you are interested in attending this summer but have not yet registered, 
please let me know ASAP so that I can assist you in the process. The 
registration fee is $125 which includes all meals during the event. Lodging is 
available for $22 per night in Centennial Hall on the campus of Oklahoma City 
University.

For more information about the event, July 12-14, see http://www.ica-usa.org/pdf/OCU_e-brochure.pdf

Optional pre-events and post-events are also being planned. Pat Webb 
<webbpat1 at cox.net> and the Silence Foundation is hosting a retreat to be led by 
Larry Ward, July 9-11; Jack Gilles <icabombay at igc.org> is organizing work 
focused on spirit methods, July 14-16. Contact them for more information if you 
are interested in coming early and/or staying late to be a part of these.

I hope you can join us in Oklahoma in mid-July.

Take care,

Terry
