Welcome to the IU Southeast Common Experience.
Members of the local communities of Indiana and Kentucky are encouraged
to join us for the second year of the Common Experience program.
The theme for the 2007-08 academic year is "Identity in a Multicultural
World: Who Am I?" There will be a series of campus events such
as speakers, seminars, Readers Theatre Production, book discussions, and
movies centering on the theme and the books. The IU Southeast
community of students, staff, and faculty invites you to read with
us the following Common Experience readings - Dreams from My Father:
A Story of Race and Inheritance by Barack Obama and Skull Wars:
Kenniwick Man, Archeology, and the Battle for Native American Identity by
David Hurst Thomas. The two books were selected because they illustrate
the theme and will generate discussions about personal identity, identity
as a member of a group, and the conflicts that arise when identities clash.
We hope you will join us during the 07-08 academic year for the IU Southeast
COMMON EXPERIENCE!
