Vagina Monologues "Zine"
- This year in congruence with the final production of the Vagina Monologues, we are planning to put together a “zine” to sell at the show to fund-raise for Helping Services in Decorah. We are looking for Luther students, staff, or faculty (of any gender expression) to write a brief piece about their experiences, struggles, and triumphs with their body or their sexuality. We will also accept visual interpretations. This is in an effort to broaden the stories that are told through the Monologues and show a diverse set of experiences that the Luther community have lived through that are not captured in the on-stage production. Authors may choose if they would like their name published in the zine or if they would like to remain anonymous. Please submit your piece using
this form
before Feb. 16.

CEPE Book Group:
Breaking the Two-Party Doom Loop -
In the aftermath of a senate impeachment vote that saw just one senator cross party lines, can American democracy still function? Lee Drutman argues that the electoral system in place in most states pushes us towards polarization and makes compromise impossible. He suggests that states could implement different forms of voting that might encourage the development of a multi-party system built on coalitions and compromise.
Sign up
for the book group to discuss these ideas. Facilitated by Prof. Eric Baack.
