CIE Retreat at Camp Bement - Fall 2000

Manuel Hernandez Aguilar
An
indigenous leader from Chiapas, Mexico representing El Pueblo Creyente
(People of Faith), Manuel spoke to the CIE meeting about the struggles
of his people and the effects of global economic changes on the indigenous
communities. His presentation highlighted the effects of NAFTA on the
local market for maize and the consequences for campesinos who could no
longer sell their corn at a profit. Changes in land ownership have led
to the loss of protection provided by communal control of land. The effects
of market changes have been compounded by militarization in the form of
local militias and the increase in violence that followed. His talk was
sponsored by Witness
for Peace of New England.
Sustainability Ranking for Universities
 Alberto Arenas |
The Epic of Gilgamesh -- a parable
of man's arrogance toward nature from 5000 BC that foreshadowed
current events. In a talk at the CIE weekly meeting Alberto Arenas
analyzed the criteria used by US News to rank U.S. Universities
and contrasted them with an alternate set of sustainability criteria
that would measure the sensitivity of a University to both the social
and ecological systems in which it is set. The discussion subsequently
focussed on the challenge of changing basic values of students toward |
a more sustainable life style and the responsibility of a university
to promote awareness of the need for such changes.Approaches to Staff Development in Laos
