>>sponsored by the ISS. We have invited Nigerian-born Nobel Laureate in 
>>Literature (1986) Wole Soyinka as a Distinguished Speaker for January 17, 
>>2007. He will address critical issues having to do with religion in the 
>>modern world, including religion-inspired, religion-inflected conflicts 
>>around the world. The crisis in Darfur will be a special focus. With this 
>>special event we hope not only to draw attention to the important work of 
>>the ISS, but also to raise consciousness about and organize around the 
>>crisis in Darfur. The event will be open to all members of the Claremont 
>>Colleges and to the general public.

>>and to help us spread the word about it to friends and colleagues.
