The Wrongful Conviction of Leonard Peltier?
Documentary screening of "Incident at Oglala" followed by a discussion led by Professor Robert Bloom.
Description: On June 26, 1975, during a period of high tensions on the Pine Ridge reservation in South Dakota, two FBI agents were killed in a shootout with a group of American Indians. Although several men were charged with killing the agents, only one, Leonard Peltier, was found guilty. This film describes the events surrounding the shootout, the subsequent trial, and suggests that Peltier was unjustly convicted.

The Dell Thurmond Woodard Fellowship, which includes one $5,000 grant for one student each year, is part of the Tisdale Fellowship program, a summer internship available to undergraduate and graduate students. Any student, undergraduate or graduate, who is interested in diversity and ethics issues, and in learning about high-tech public policy issues, can apply for this Fellowship.
The Dell Thurmond Woodard Fellowship was established in 2007 as an additional grant/internship opportunity within the Tisdale Fellowship. The Tisdale Fellowship is a high-tech public policy summer internship program in Washington, DC. The Dell Fellowship was created in memory of the late Thurmond Woodard, Dell's former Vice President of Global Diversity and Chief Ethics, Privacy and Compliance Officer. Those interested should use the Eben Tisdale Fellowship Application, and follow the instructions for submitting an additional essay on ethics and diversity. The Dell Thurmond Woodard Fellowship grant recipient will participate in the same program as those in the Tisdale Fellowship – an eight-week internship and weekly high-tech policy seminars.
The Fellowship has two main elements:
(1) Internship: Fellows do an eight-week internship in the government relations office of a leading high technology company or association. In the recent past, fellows have interned at such companies as Agilent Technologies, Hewlett-Packard, Philips Electronics and Infotech Strategies as well as associations such as the Business Software Alliance.
2) Issues Seminar: The issues seminar is a weekly lunch hosted by the different sponsoring companies and associations. Expert speakers lead discussions of current public policy issues in Washington, and the methods the high technology industry uses for effective advocacy. A new lecture on diversity and ethics has been added to the Tisdale Fellows' speaker series.
The Summer 2009 Fellowship runs from June 15th – August 7th, 2009. The goal of the Fellowship is to create a supportive and collegial environment in which a new class of public policy professionals will be mentored to help ensure that the high-tech industry continues to have highly capable and well-trained individuals in both policy advocacy and senior management positions.

Thus, submissions should pertain to the law and its practice, implementation or implications in East Asian nations. Additionally, we welcome submissions of a comparative nature that examine legal issues faced by East Asian nations alongside similar issues of other Asian or non-Asian nations.
