Meeting

The study of “teen-combatants” is a growing subfield in the history of children at war, the history of war violence in general, and World War I in particular. Too young to be legally enlisted as conscripts in 1914-1918, teen combatants also felt that they were too old to remain on the home front. This lecture will explore the cross-European phenomenon of “teen-combatants” both as a rite of passage into male adulthood and as a transgression of wartime norms.
Thursday, November 9, 7-9pm, Northwood-High Building, 2231 N. High St., Rm. 100
Free parking is available in the “R” spaces — “R” for “Rardin Clinic” — behind the building.

During the past ten months of the Trump Administration, we’ve seen a barrage of right-wing atrocities and social suffering — from the far-right carnival of hate in Charlottesville, to the unnatural disasters of Harvey and Irma, to increasing police violence and terror, to the Trump administration ending DACA protections and increasing deportations.

Columbus has two active Jewish Voice for Peace [JVP] chapters and we would like to invite you to stop in and see what we are up to lately.
This casual gathering has multiple goals. First, new and prospective members will have an opportunity to attend and ask their questions. Second, those who have always been interested in a just and lasting peace for Israel and Palestine can see what’s happening with JVP on a local and national scale without making any major commitments.
Tuesday, October 10, 3:30-5pm, Thompson Library [Rm. 165], 1858 Neil Ave.
What is a religion, and how does U.S. law decide what counts? What is law, and what role does it play within American religious communities? This symposium will address these questions, among others, through a consideration of particular case studies, including the Church of Scientology and the Moorish Science Temple of America. Presenters will reflect on the varied ways in which new religions challenge us to think differently about both religion and law.
