Harvard Law Professor Lani Guinier to Speak at Trinity Honoring Black History and Women’s History Months
Harvard law professor Lani Guinier, who made headlines in 1993 as the first black woman to be nominated as a justice by President Bill Clinton to lead the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice, will speak at Trinity College on February 5, 2007, 7:00 p.m., in the Washington Room, Mather Hall. During this free public lecture in honor of Black History and Women’s History months, Guinier will discuss the issues of race, gender, and power in the United States in 2007.
Before joining the Harvard Law School faculty, Guinier was a tenured professor at the University of Pennsylvania for 10 years. At Harvard, Guinier teaches courses on professional responsibility for public lawyers, law and the political process, and critical perspectives on race, gender, class, and social change. Guinier has been recognized for her achievements with many awards and accolades, including the Champion of Democracy Award from the National Women’s Political Caucus; the Margaret Brent Women Lawyers of Achievement Award from the ABA Commission on Women in the Profession; the Rosa Parks Award from the American Association of Affirmative Action; the Big Sisters Award; the Sacks-Freund Award for Teaching Excellence from Harvard Law School; and the Harvey Levin Teaching Award, given to her by her students at the University of Pennsylvania Law School.
Guinier has written extensively in law review articles, books (The Tyranny of the Majority, 1994; Becoming Gentlemen: Women, Law Schools and Institutional Change, 1995), and op-ed pieces about new ways of approaching old problems, including issues of affirmative action, the “testocracy,” gender equity, and race-conscious political districting. She also authored a personal and political memoir, Lift Every Voice: Turning a Civil Rights Setback into a New Vision of Social Justice (Simon and Schuster, 1998), in which she uses the nomination debacle as a window on the civil rights movement past, present, and future. In 2002, she and University of Texas colleague Gerald Torres wrote, The Miner’s Canary: Rethinking Race and Power, published by Harvard University Press.

“COUNT FOR THE RECORD” AND HELP THE BIRDS DURING THE GREAT BACKYARD BIRD COUNT – Has Photo
What mid-winter activity is fun, easy, free, and helps bird conservation? What can parents and teachers do with children that opens their eyes to a whole new world of natural wonders? During February 16–19, 2007, the tenth annual Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC), sponsored by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and National Audubon Society, will give everyone a chance to discover the birds in their neighborhood and “Count for the Record.”
People of all ages, and of all levels of experience, are invited to join this event which spans all of the United States and Canada. Participants can take part wherever they are. They simply count the highest number of each species they see during an outing or a sitting, and enter their tally on the Great Backyard Bird Count web site at www.birdsource.org/gbbc. This year marks the tenth anniversary of the GBBC, and Cornell and Audubon are challenging people everywhere to participate in greater numbers than ever before.
“We are encouraging people who have never done so before to go outside and count birds,” said Paul Green, Audubon’s director of Citizen Science. “By submitting their counts online, bird watchers can quickly see how the dots they put on the map form patterns that tell new stories about the birds that share the world in which we live, including our own backyards and parks.”
“The Great Backyard Bird Count is a community celebration of birds, birding, and nature,” said Janis Dickinson, director of Citizen Science at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. “We often fail to notice how rich our surroundings are, but counting birds, even for just 15 minutes, is not only educational it can provide a lasting source of enjoyment, turning a daily walk into a treasure hunt.”
Last year, participants submitted more than 60,000 checklists and reported 7.5 million birds overall and 623 different species. Together, the counts offer a real-time snapshot of the numbers and kinds of birds that people are finding, from Boreal Chickadees in Alaska to Anhingas in Florida. The information is used to track bird populations and to better inform conservation efforts.
Participants who want to hone their bird watching skills can learn more from the Great Backyard Bird Count web site, which offers identification tips and a multimedia guide to 500 bird species. People can also submit photos to an online gallery showcasing the dazzling array of winter birds found during the GBBC. Competitions add another element of fun, including a prize drawing for everyone who submits a checklist, a photo contest, and the coveted “checklist champ” title for towns, states, and provinces with the highest participation.
The Great Backyard Bird Count is sponsored in part by Wild Birds Unlimited. For more information, visit www.birdsource.org/gbbc.
The Cornell Lab of Ornithology is a nonprofit membership institution interpreting and conserving the earth’s biological diversity through research, education, and citizen science focused on birds.
Audubon is dedicated to protecting birds and other wildlife and the habitat that supports them. Our national network of community-based nature centers and chapters, scientific and educational programs, and advocacy on behalf of areas sustaining important bird populations, engage millions of people of all ages and backgrounds in conservation.
