Come and hear a talk by Rebekka Friedman of Brandeis University on Human Rights, Gender and International Relations.
When: 1:00 pm, Saturday, December 1, 2007
Where: Room, 1.29, UConn Stamford Campus
Questions? sponsored by Prof. Eugene Kogan at eugene.kogan “at” uconn.edu
Her lecture will address two major issues. First, she will present gendered approaches to International Relations and why the feminist critique came relatively late to the discipline. Second, she will discuss international human rights law’s protection of women from violations during wartime and peacetime. Specifically, she will look at how international law’s treatment of rape during war evolved in response to the wars in the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda, and how these rulings were incorporated into the ICC. Ms. Friedman will conclude with an analysis of how international law has progressed in protecting women’s human rights during wartime and peacetime and what obstacles remain.
UConn Stamford’s shuttle bus service from the Stamford Train Station is suspended during Thanksgiving week starting Monday, November 19th to Wednesday, November 21st.

What is RefWorks?
RefWorks is a web-based bibliographic management program which allows you to:
Go to http://refworks.uconn.edu/to create your account.
You may experience some problems access the UConn Libraries Gale databases. The vendor has informed us that they are currently experiencing intermittent problems with their online databases and are working to correct the problems as quickly as possible.
You may have experienced difficulties accessing HOMER, the Libraries’ online catalog, over the past few days.
The problems have been sporadic and unevenly distributed across the Storrs and the regional campuses, so you may or may not have encountered problems connecting to HOMER.
If you experience difficulties connecting to HOMER, the following link leads to a brief list of library catalogs to serve as alternatives. While none of these catalogs replaces HOMER, you can use them to help identify materials: http://www.lib.uconn.edu/online/homer_alternatives.html
Alternatively, we would be happy to help you with additional strategies for finding the materials you need.
Update: 1:20 pm,HOMER is operational again, you may still experience some slowness.
The Libraries Catalog, HOMER is currently down due to some technical issues. The problem has been reported and we will alert you when the catalog is running smoothly. We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause.
Try iCONN, the CT digital library catalog to search for books.
The University of Connecticut Stamford Campus Library now offers the self-check service, an extension of a similar service found at the main campus library at Storrs. All five regional campus libraries now have Self Check (see image) in a version slightly different than the one in use at the main campus in Storrs.
The new self check workstation, located at the far end of the circulation desk, provides you with the option of checking-out materials on your own using your active university ID. This service will allow you the convenience of faster checkouts when the library staff are busy.
