To Whom It May Concern,

Human Rights Watch, a major international humanitarian watchdog group, needs 
short term interns to help complete a massive database on WAR CRIMES IN 
KOSOVA. This database is likely to serve as a primary future reference for 
Governments, NGO's and activists.

The internships are unpaid, but HRW can provide letters of recommendation, 
involvement in future projects, whatever glory that can be mutually agreed 
upon, as well as free lunch for all.

Length of internship is based on the number of volunteers, length of 
committment, etc.

for more info., contact Fred Abrahams at Human Rights Watch NYC office, at 
212-216-1270.

...he needs the help, and will work with u on making it easy for 
everybody....

Hi everyone,

The following article on college scholarships for
African-American,
Hispanic, and Asian-American students from low- and middle-income

families appeared in the Boston Sunday Globe on February 27,
2000. Note
that the deadline for postmarking applications is March 15.
Please
spread the word.

"Despite noble aims and a good outreach effort, the Gates
Millennium
Scholars Program has been clumsy in getting the word out to
lower- and
middle-income minority students who often live outside the
information-age loop.

"The program, created through a $1 billion gift from Microsoft
founder
Bill Gates, will award $50 million in college scholarships a year
to
minority students for 20 years. But with the March 15 deadline
for
applications approaching, some say not enough students hae been
reached.
"While 17,000 applications ahve been downloaded from the
program's Web
site, most of them in California, Texas, New York, Florida, and
Washington state, only 250 completed applications had been
received as
of Feb. 14, said Adalberto Andino, executive director of the
program.
"Andino said that he is pleased with the number of applications
received, and that he expects more as the deadline approaches.
"Among the problems in reaching students, he said, are:
---A technological divide that keeps low-income students from
finding
information about the scholarships online and that prevents them
from
downloading applications easily.
---A lack of paper copies of the applications in poor
neighborhoods.
---Spotty distribution of the applications at schools, colleges,
and
universities nationwide.
---The 25 national area offices of the United Negro College fund
are
disseminating information on the scholarships, which are also
being
supported by the American Indian College Fund and the Hispanic
Scholarship Fund. The scholarships also are open to
Asian-American
students.
"Applicants must maintain a grade point average of at least 3.3
on a
4.0 scale, and must have significant financial need, and must be
studying mathematics, science, engineering, education, or library

sciences.
"Andino coordinates the nationwide program from an office in
Fairfax,
Va., and concedes that there are difficulties. "It's a tremendous

challenge when you're trying to reach out to an entire nation
with one
program," Andino said.
"Johnson said the need for a more extensive outreach should be
one of
the key lessons the Gates program takes from this initial effort.

"Applications may be reproduced and downloaded from the Gates
Millenium
Scholars program Web site at www.gmsp.org. The program can be
reached
at 1-877-690-GMSP (4677). The applications must be postmarked by
March
15."

Subject: FW: Looking for Book Reviewers on Eastern European/Balkan women

from: Linda Shult [lshult at library.wisc.edu]

Hello there,
We need to locate a reviewer for several books on Eastern European/Balkan
women. Our publication is Feminist Collections: A Quarterly
of Women's Studies Resources, which includes book and video reviews, news
of new periodicals, Internet websites and email lists, reference works, and
other items of interest to women's studies teachers, researchers, and
students.

We were originally planning for this review for our Spring 2000 issue, but
the reviewer we had scheduled came up with some severe health problems and
has had to cancel her contribution. So we're having to push the review to a
later issue at this point, and are thinking about the Fall 2000 issue (with
deadline approx. June 1, but somewhat flexible). The reviewer is returning
the books to us so we can send them along to you shortly, if you're
interested. We would be happy to send you a copy of Feminist Collections if
you're not familiar with it Some of our book reviews and columns appear on
our website (http://www.library.wisc.edu/libraries/WomensStudies/).

Length of a review would be from 1,000 - 1,500 words (4-6 pages
double-spaced). Here are the books we have in mind for a kind of review
essay:

Gender Politics in the Western Balkans: Women Society, and Politics in
Yugoslavia and the Yugoslav Successor States, ed. by Sabrina P. Ramet (Penn
State, 1999)

Women in Modern Albania: Firsthand Accounts of Culture and Conditions from
Over 200 Interviews, by Susan E. Pritchett Post (McFarland, 1998)

Women in the Politics of Postcommunist Eastern Europe, ed. by Marilyn
Rueschemeyer (Sharpe, 1998)

We would greatly appreciate your suggesting a person or two whom you
believe could do a good job with this review, or passing along the request
to someone who might make some good reviewer suggestions. Thanks very much!

"Women's Memory: Oral Histories from Transition. Theory and Practice"

Oral History Workshop at the Central European University, Program on Gender
& Culture,

3-5 November, 2000 in Budapest

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

The OSI NETWORK Women's Program and the Central European University's
Program on Gender & Culture invite experts, professionals, and NGO activists
to join to the seminar "Women's Memory: Oral Histories from Transition.
Theory and Practice" to be held in Budapest on 3-5 November, 2000. In order
to coordinate and promote the establishment of archives of women's stories
in different Central-East European and fSU countries, this training program
is being provided to teach skills, to offer hands-on experience, and to
present different theoretical frameworks and operational models to promote
the preservation of women's stories. Applicants should send their Curriculum
Vitae, list of publications and a letter of recommendation to the Central
European University, Program on Gender & Culture (Nador u. 9.; 1051
Budapest, Hungary; fax/ 361-327-3296 or 361-327-3001, email/ gender at ceu.hu),
together with a statement of purpose which covers their previous work in the
field of oral history and their future plans. The closing date for
applications is 25 April, 2000. The working language of the seminar is
English. Simultaneous Russian translation will be provided, but preference
will be given to those applicants with at least a minimal knowledge of
English.

For more information contact Nargiza Turgunova, External Programs Manager
(turgonov at ceu.hu, tel/ 361-327-3034).

Description

The promotion of real social and political change requires a thorough
understanding of the past. Women's pasts are difficult to study because of
the hidden and manipulated character of the sources: the most important
emotional and psychological changes remain closed in women's bodies. By the
end of the 1990s an increasing number of NGOs, women's studies and gender
studies centers in Eastern Europe and in the former Soviet Union have
started or are planning to start oral history projects focusing on women's
experience of transition and violence. Oral history is both a genre of
historical inquiry and a technique of obtaining information about events and
social practices. In order to establish and coordinate the foundation of
archives of women's stories in different Central-East European and fSU
countries, a training program is needed to promote comparative studies in
order to facilitate the preservation of women's stories. This workshop will
provide such training, and enable as well the development of nationally
appropriate projects.

Participants

30-35 participants will be admitted.

Preparations

Selected participants will receive a reading packet well before the
workshop. Those who are already involved in running oral history research
projects will need to prepare a brief description of their projects, to be
attached to the reading packet. All selected participants will be expected
to read the reading packet, and to prepare a brief presentation for the
seminar. Those participants coming from countries with an advanced tradition
of collecting oral histories will be requested to bring a bibliography from
their own country (in an electronic form) about the books, articles and
projects of the last ten years in the field of oral history.



Lectures

During the training experts will give lectures related to the methodology
and techniques of oral history. The lecturers will provide a list of
recommended readings (the readings will be included in the reading packet),
and will also compile a list for a possible oral history library: basic
texts, manuals, etc.

Seminars

The lectures will be followed by seminars, where the participants divide
into three groups to discuss the lectures and readings.

Workshops

In a workshop setting, techniques of making oral history will be practiced.

Field Trips

The participant will visit the two oral history archives of Budapest, the 56
Institute (http://www.rev.hu) and the OSI Radio Free Europe Archives
(http://www.ceu.hu), as well as the Statue Park: memory and commemoration
practices of communism (http://www.szoborpark.hu)

That is a great question Erkanda, but I believe that when the term minority 
is used in the United States, it is defined on a racial basis.  Therefore, 
since we identify ourselves  as Caucasian of Eropean origin (an assumption), 
then we do not belong in the category of minorities.  What a coincidence, 
that we as Albanians were sometimes refered to minorities, in the context of 
former yugoslavia, and yet we learn than in the U.S. we happen to belong to 
the majority.

Edhe pse shumekush mendon se nuk do te kishte far efekti, po te insistonim ne takim me Kofi Annanin, ai eshte i vetmi person qe mund te ushtronte trysni per lirimin e te burgosurve.

UNMIK-u si pjese e OKB-se as nuk e permend fare qeshtjen e banoreve te Kosoves (qe administrohet nga UNMIK-u) qe jane te burgosr ne Serbi.

Albini ka qene ne NY para dy vitesh edhe me siguri shpreson se ata me te cilet eshte takuar dhe ka biseduar (ka me siguri te tille mes nesh) do te bejne me shume per te burgosurit kosovare me pergjithesi.

hey everybody,

...while race is normally the basis of judging 'minority' status in most 
instances, I would look LONG AND HARD at the POSSIBILITY that YOU MAY BE A 
RELIGIOUS MINORITY HERE IN THE *UNITED STATES*, AND OF COURSE THE EXTRA 
DIFFICULTIES YOU MAY FACE HERE, AS WELL AS THE
*** "LEGACY OF DISCRIMINATION" *** YOUR PARENTS AND GRAND-s MAY HAVE 
EXPERIENCED, ARE ALL FACTS THAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED BY ANY SCHOLARSHIP FUND 
SEEKING TO HELP POOR MINORITY STUDENTS...

>>Hi everyone,
>>
>>The following article on college scholarships for
>>African-American,
>>Hispanic, and Asian-American students from low- and middle-income
>>
>>families appeared in the Boston Sunday Globe on February 27,
>>2000. Note
>>that the deadline for postmarking applications is March 15.
>>Please
>>spread the word.
>>
>>"Despite noble aims and a good outreach effort, the Gates
>>Millennium
>>Scholars Program has been clumsy in getting the word out to
>>lower- and
>>middle-income minority students who often live outside the
>>information-age loop.
>>
>>"The program, created through a $1 billion gift from Microsoft
>>founder
>>Bill Gates, will award $50 million in college scholarships a year
>>to
>>minority students for 20 years. But with the March 15 deadline
>>for
>>applications approaching, some say not enough students hae been
>>reached.
>>"While 17,000 applications ahve been downloaded from the
>>program's Web
>>site, most of them in California, Texas, New York, Florida, and
>>Washington state, only 250 completed applications had been
>>received as
>>of Feb. 14, said Adalberto Andino, executive director of the
>>program.
>>"Andino said that he is pleased with the number of applications
>>received, and that he expects more as the deadline approaches.
>>"Among the problems in reaching students, he said, are:
>>---A technological divide that keeps low-income students from
>>finding
>>information about the scholarships online and that prevents them
>>from
>>downloading applications easily.
>>---A lack of paper copies of the applications in poor
>>neighborhoods.
>>---Spotty distribution of the applications at schools, colleges,
>>and
>>universities nationwide.
>>---The 25 national area offices of the United Negro College fund
>>are
>>disseminating information on the scholarships, which are also
>>being
>>supported by the American Indian College Fund and the Hispanic
>>Scholarship Fund. The scholarships also are open to
>>Asian-American
>>students.
>>"Applicants must maintain a grade point average of at least 3.3
>>on a
>>4.0 scale, and must have significant financial need, and must be
>>studying mathematics, science, engineering, education, or library
>>
>>sciences.
>>"Andino coordinates the nationwide program from an office in
>>Fairfax,
>>Va., and concedes that there are difficulties. "It's a tremendous
>>
>>challenge when you're trying to reach out to an entire nation
>>with one
>>program," Andino said.
>>"Johnson said the need for a more extensive outreach should be
>>one of
>>the key lessons the Gates program takes from this initial effort.
>>
>>"Applications may be reproduced and downloaded from the Gates
>>Millenium
>>Scholars program Web site at www.gmsp.org. The program can be
>>reached
>>at 1-877-690-GMSP (4677). The applications must be postmarked by
>>March
>>15."
