Salzburg deadline Dec. 2

     Proposals are being accepted now through Dec. 2 for faculty
interested in participating in the 1997 Salzburg Seminar. Started
in 1947, the Salzburg Seminar series enters its second half-
century next year.
     As in the past, interested faculty members may submit a
proposal, not to exceed two pages, explaining how the seminar
would enhance their work at the University.
     The 1997 core program includes 10 sessions:
       Feb. 22-March 1, "World Trade: Protectionism vs.
  Globalization,"
       March 15-22, "Eclipse of the Nation State?"
       April 19-26, "The Rise of Industrial East Asia and Its
  Implications for the Developing World,"
       May 17-24, "Race and Ethnicity: Models for Diversity,"
       June 16-23, "Journalism in the Information Age,"
       July 12-19, "Education Youth: Challenges for the Future,"
       Aug. 2-9, "Recent Developments in American Law and Legal
  Institutions,"
       Oct. 11-18, "Europe: Consolidation and Enlargement,"
       Nov. 15-22, "Nongovernmental Organizations: Leadership
  and Civil Society" and
       Dec. 6-13, "Music for a New Millennium: The Classical
  Genre in Contemporary Society."
     Since 1977, more than 20 persons from the University have
attended the Salzburg Seminar in Austria, joining with
professionals from throughout the world to discuss issues of
contemporary importance.
     The participation by UD faculty has strengthened academic
offerings by enriching teaching and research with international
experience.
     The program of cooperation is administered on behalf of the
University by a committee of faculty chaired by G. Arno Loessner,
urban affairs and public policy.
     The committee includes James Oliver, Unidel Professor of
Political Science and International Relations; Bonnie Kime Scott,
English; Robert Rothman, sociology; and two faculty who attended
the seminar in 1966, Marian Lief Palley, political science and
international relations; and Leslie Reidel, theatre.
     The seminar offers partial support of the costs of tuition,
room and board.
     The University assists with these costs and with travel and
related expenses.
     Each proposal for sessions should be accompanied by a memo
from the department chairperson or dean and addressed to
Loessner, at Graham Hall. The deadline is 4:30 p.m., Monday, Dec.
2.
     A Salzburg brochure, outlining details of the different
sessions and listing former fellows from the University, is in
the Reserve Room of the Morris Library.
