The episode comes amid broad questions about the role of Jews in efforts to promote diversity and inclusion in universities and workplaces. Jewish critics of the emerging field of diversity, equity and inclusion have charged that antisemitism is not always treated as similarly offensive to racism or homophobia, despite also being rooted in hatred based on identity. The Jewish open letter signers also cited a recent statewide report on antisemitism in Virginia as reason to take their concerns about Jewish representation at the university seriously.

James Madison’s Holocaust Remembrance Day event was sponsored in part by the university’s equity and inclusion office, and the associate provost for inclusive strategies and equity initiatives was scheduled to deliver opening remarks and also moderate a question-and-answer session at the event’s end.

“This event is to create an opportunity for people to learn about the lived experiences of others and honor the Holocaust Remembrance Day through educational and solemn means,” Malika Carter-Hoyt, the school’s vice president of diversity, equity and inclusion, said in a statement provided to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. The statement did not mention Jews or antisemitism.

Carter-Hoyt said she hadn’t received “any notice about these concerns” prior to the letter.

“I acknowledge the letter and express compassion toward the concerns outlined by faculty,” Carter-Hoyt said. But she also defended the planning and suggested that having Jews on the planning committee had not been a specific university priority.

“Committee members were selected based on substantive expertise and commitment to the creation of an event that properly marks the occasion,” she wrote. “No one was included or excluded explicitly based on a particular protected characteristic.”

I flew to Virginia on Wednesday and did my “Beyond Binaries” program with a delightful group of students at James Madison University. Yesterday I did my “All the Letters” workshop with their faculty and staff. Then I drove three hours (in the electric car I rented) to the College of William and Mary, where I did my “Getting Bi” program with another interesting group, followed by a surprisingly good dinner at the campus dining hall. I am exhausted and also feeling very, very fortunate to do this work and meet so many interesting and caring people. 💖💙💜

Contemplation

A lone young man sits contemplatively among spring’s glorious colors. Photo by Bruce Stambaugh The Edith J. Carrier Arboretum in Harrisonburg, Virginia, is a marvelous place to contemplate life’s challenges, changes, and celebrations. That’s especially true in spring when the trees, flowers, and shrubbery come alive with their soothing colors. I went there to pick up a tree I had purchased in…

We could stands it no more!

Badgers can beat Purdue but not James Madison? The first half of the Badgers game against James Madison U. last night was excruciating. Embarrassing. Triggering! Need a Disturbing Content advisory. The Badgers were shaken, not stirred. Flustered. Tried to play at the same frenetic pace as the Dukes of Harrisonburg, who will now move on to play the Dukes of Duke in the NCAA tournament round of…

J-M-U, I missed you.

The first picture is the view from my hotel. It's the first time I've ever gotten to stay on the top floor!

The second picture is the view of the Quad on day 2 of my visit (with the Music Building peeking out from behind the trees on the left side of the photo). It was so cloudy most of the day but it thankfully didn't rain until after I got back to the hotel.

Anyway. My visit was fantastic. I'm so glad I went during the week this time -- I got to drop in on SO many of my former professors and even sit in on one of Dr. V.'s UCSA rehearsals (Y'ALL I HAVE MISSED THAT CHOIR SO MUCH), and two students I got to know my last semester were BOTH serving as student conductors this semester, so that was very exciting to watch. I had lunch with many of my old friends who are still at JMU. (Got to see my friend's aesthetic desk setup in person when we went back to her apartment so she could get her computer -- I'd seen it in her Instagram stories but it was something else seeing it in person.) And OBVIOUSLY Dr. Piitz was one of the first people I saw. I arrived on Sunday and was lucky enough to get early check-in, and an hour and a half later I was embracing my dear mentor just inside the door of my favorite restaurant in Harrisonburg. Cloud nine, all the way around.

(There was one professor I'd really wanted to see that I didn't get to because he was sick (I'd planned a whole classroom stakeout and everything), but the day I went back to DC he FINALLY responded to the emails I'd sent him. So he and I got to talk on the phone today, and that was still very, very meaningful. It was so good to hear his voice -- it'd been almost two years since I'd seen him or heard from him at all.)

#amy rambles #james madison university #jmu #also the leaves stayed on the trees long enough for me to come enjoy them #the jmu social media accounts had been posting pictures of all the vibrant foliage #and i was like PLEASE STAY LIKE THAT UNTIL I GET THERE #and it DID #and it was BEAUTIFUL #and i was SO happy to be home #listen you can tell me i drank too much of the purple kool-aid all you want #if that's what happened then i'll say pour me another round #i love this place and this community so much #i will return for good one day #i know i will #i feel it in my bones

Let's Recap: CISR staff attends 18th International Mine Action Symposium in Croatia

Symposium Summary: 18th International Mine Action Symposium May 2-4, 2022

Written by Sabryn Doston, CISR Publications Assistant

CISR staff attended the 18th International Mine Action Symposium hosted in Vodice, Croatia, from May 2- 4, 2022. The symposium was comprised of a wide variety of humanitarian mine action (HMA) organizations and provided a platform for experts in many sectors of the HMA field to share their knowledge and experience.  The 18th International Symposium Mine Action event was held in cooperation with the Directorate of Civil Protection, under the patronage of the Croatian Parliament and with The French Republic as this year’s partner country. Managing Director of the Center for Testing, Development, and Training, Katarina Markt, introduced the symposium and thanked its contributors to kick off the mine action event.

Day 1

The first topic of the event was the Standardization of Training in the Field of Mine Action. Eight presentations were given outlining the most recent initiatives in standardized training in the HMA field by a variety of presenters. This set of presentations addressed the strengths and weaknesses of introducing standardized testing into the HMA field and emphasized the pressing need for competence and deep understanding of the content when looking at training procedures.

The second session of the day focused on the topic of land release. Land release is especially prevalent due to its relevance to Ukraine’s rapidly increasing land contamination. This set of presentations weaved through multiple facets of land release, ranging from how difficult clearing land in Tajikistan is due to its mountainous geography to the ongoing challenges of releasing land in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The presentations concluded with speakers spotlighting the current contamination faced in Ukraine.

Day 2

The second day of the symposium opened with an outline of research and development in mine action. The presentations highlighted advancements and initiatives in the technological and mechanical aspects of HMA. This series of presentations was a podium for HMA organizations and affiliated businesses to showcase their technology and mechanical devices and to demonstrate the benefit of their creations. Many of these presentations were focused on land clearance operations and how their technology would best be able to identify explosives above and below the surface of the ground. Equipment producers were spotlighted during the presentation as well, giving them a platform to show off their most recent and successful mechanical equipment in the HMA sector.

One particularly interesting method of landmine detection was presented by Ross Gillanders from St. Andrews University. During his presentation, Biological Methods (Bees) for Explosives Detection: a summary, he elaborated on the extensive research his team has conducted to determine if bees might be a feasible instrument in detecting explosive particles.

At the end of day two, participants of the symposium had the opportunity to visit Krka National Park in Lozovac, Croatia, a park renowned for its exceptional waterfalls and greenery.

Day 3

On the final day of the conference, CISR’s Senior Project Manager, Brenna Matlock, and Publications Assistant, Sabryn Dotson, presented on The Journal of CWD. More specifically, the presentation outlined the most recent initiatives that The Journal has been implementing to ensure its accessibility for its readership and its advancements as an online publication. The symposium concluded with a demonstration of the EOD – TURNPIN Database and a presentation on demining and socio-economic integration as exampled in Croatia.

The CISR staff that attended the mine action symposium greatly enjoyed learning about the most recent initiatives in the sector and hearing new perspectives and prospective Journal topics.
