[Englecturers] English 4 and 5 Instructors: Amartya Sen Coming to UCR

[HELEN LOVEJOY]

Hello English 4 and 5 instructors,

As you may have seen Amartya Sen is speaking at UCR on
10/26.  Sen wrote one of the background readings for
this quarter's ENGL 4 and 5 final exam:  "A World Not
Neatly Divided" (pg. 327 in _Write It_). 

This could be a great chance to see someone you're
teaching speak.  Or a great chance for your students
to hear and perhaps even ask questions of someone they
will be reading.

Just note that anyone interested has to RSVP by 10/23.
 The information is below.

Have a good weekend,
Helen
