Through these opportunities students develop incredible skills in research, writing, public speaking, diplomacy, socialization, time management, articulation, and friendship. Such skills exemplify the CSU, Chico Student Body.
Students who participate in MUN lean about international relations, foreign policy and good governance. Participating in the NMUN conference is an amazing experience where students perfect the skills that are acquired through the MUN Program, and also an opportunity to build international relationships, as well as relationships with students from other universities in the United States. Many valuable lasting friendships are derived through the Model United Nations program at Chico State, that otherwise may not have been made.
The MUN Program greatly appreciates support from the Instructionally Related Activities Committee (IRA), as well as other supporters of our program-Thank You!

Please contact the Department of Political Science in Butte 741 for more information on Model United Nations for next year.

The Culture of Defeat: An Interview with Wolfgang Schivelbusch*

Wismer Theatre (PAC 135)

Free and open to the public with a reception to follow in Trinity 100. For information, contact Laird Easton, director, Humanities Center, x4284. Please check out www.csuchico.edu/hfa/hc/guests.html

*Part of the HC’s “War and Culture” theme.

Focusing on three seminal cases of defeat—the South after the Civil War, France in the wake of the Franco-Prussian War, and Germany following World War I—Wolfgang Schivelbusch reveals, in his recent book The Culture of Defeat: On National Trauma, Mourning, and Recovery, the complex psychological and cultural responses of vanquished nations to the experience of loss on the battlefield. Drawing on reactions from every level of society, Schivelbusch charts the narratives defeated nations construct and finds remarkable similarities across cultures. Wolfgang Schivelbusch is an independent historian who divides his time between Berlin and New York. He is the author of The Railway Journey, Disenchanted Night, and Tastes of Paradise, among other books.

“It would be hard to exaggerate the breadth and brilliance of the variations Schivelbusch plays on these themes over fifty years of history and two continents.”–The Nation

Humanities Center: Talk, Reading, Book-Signing, April 18

John C. Hampsey, Department of English
Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo

Monday April 18 3pm Trinity 100
Free and open to the public with a reception to follow.

For information, contact Laird Easton, director, Humanities Center, x4284.

A hybrid in both content and style, Paranoia and Contentment (University of Virginia, 2004) is a bold and original investigation into Western intellectual history. John Hampsey approaches paranoia not as a clinical term for an irrational sense of persecution but from a uniquely positive perspective, as a cultural truth—a way of understanding the history of human thought and perhaps the best way to describe Being itself. The book’s analyses and inquiries are joined by anecdotal interludes in which Hampsey applies the conflicting concepts of paranoic and paranoidic to revealing moments in his own life. Hampsey, who earned his PhD from Boston College (1982), has served on the faculties of Boston University and MIT.
