Elizabeth Carothers Herron, Arts and Humanities, will have her essay, "Imagination, Grace and the Sentient Earth" published in the forthcoming issue of EarthLight, a journal of spirit and ecology. An earlier essay in her series of pieces addressing the embodiment of the sacred appeared last fall in a collection of works by women writers from Farrar, Strauss & Giroux. Wendy L. Ostroff, Hutchins School of Liberal Studies, made a presentation at the Biennial Meeting of the Society for Research in Child Development in Atlanta, Georgia. Ostroff's paper was entitled "Female Face and Voice Information Enhances Infants' Discrimination of Non-Native Speech Contrasts" which was part of a symposium on multimodal influences on infants' and childrens' detection, discrimination, and learning about visual and auditory events. Clarice Stasz, History, is scholarly consultant and editor of "California: Gold Rush," by Corinne Swall and published by the Mother Lode Musical Theatre. This is a curricular package that includes primary historical documents and activities for K-6 that lead to students' writing and performing their own musical production based on the event. She is helping with West Marin Elementary School's production of such a show on May 23. Brian Wilson, Music, conducted the American premiere of his work, Prayer for Peace, on March 18 at the Harker Conservatory in San Jose. The work was commissioned by the Harker String Orchestra and Cantilena vocal group to play on its tour of Eastern Europe which took place in January with performances in Prague, Budapest and Vienna. Prayer for Peace uses lines from "Whispers from Eternity" by the yogi Paramahansa Yogananda. The poem speaks of the oneness of all humanity and the hope for a peaceful world. Submit
