Natsu Onoda, the Artist-in-Residence at the Center this year, is organizing this program. We welcome proposals from all levels (undergraduate, graduate, faculty, etc.). "Alien of Extraordinary Ability" is an immigration status created by the United States Immigration and Naturalization Services, and refers to foreign nationals who possess specialized knowledge or abilities that are considered "outstanding" or "internationally recognized." Once approved, Aliens of Extraordinary Abilities are allowed to stay and work in the United States without institutional or corporate sponsorship. Albert Einstein, for example, was granted this status. Though it is an official status created by the U.S. government, the phrase "alien of extraordinary ability," does not escape its science fiction overtones. The symposium intends to explore issues that are otherwise separate, but are brought together by this phrase. Possible areas of interests include, but are not limited to: ·
History of U.S. immigration policy Presentations can range in form from a traditional paper to a short film/video screening to a staged reading to a personal narrative. The symposium will be held in the Behavioral Sciences Learning Center at the University of Chicago. The lecture hall will be equipped with DVD/VHS player and a data projector. Please submit your proposal (no more than 400 words) to: natsu@uchicago.edu by APRIL 10, 2005. Please specify your AV needs, and length of the presentation. We prefer presentations that are 20 to 40 minutes in length. We are open to suggestions and ideas. Please send all inquiries to natsu@uchicago.edu Natsu Onoda Rally for Darfur, Sudan Thursday, May 5 Starting 8:15 PM 540 W.
