Rainn Wilson screens a documentary at Boston University on Tuesday November 15, 2011 at 11am.
Press Release:
Free and open to the public. Seating is first come, first serve!
See the TRAILER: http://educationunderfire.
…
The documentary is followed by a Q&A informed by the Open Letter by Nobel Peace Prize laureates Archbishop Desmond Tutu and President (of East Timor) José Ramos-Horta defending the right to education.
Whether or not you are able to attend, please consider signing the letter.
Education Under Fire (EUF) is a campaign developed to address the Iranian government’s denial of the right to education on ideological and religious grounds. The 30-minute documentary explores the universal right to higher education (Article 26) through the lens of the Baha’i community in Iran. It tells the story of the Baha’i Institute for Higher Education (BIHE), a grassroots university system established to educate those whose rights have been violated. In 2011, the government launched a coordinated attack against BIHE. The film is intended to spark conversations on university campuses and underscore the importance of defending the right of every human being to higher education.

CO-SPONSORED by the Office of the Dean of Students, Boston University Center for International Relations, Boston University Institute on Culture, Religion, and World Affairs, Department of Anthropology, and the BU “Education Under Fire” Task Force.

Mindy Kaling signs at the Brattle on Monday December 5, 2011 at 6:00 PM!
Press Release:
Harvard Book Store is delighted to welcome Emmy nominated writer and actress MINDY KALING for a reading of her new book, Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns).
Mindy Kaling has lived many lives: the obedient child of immigrant professionals, a timid chubster afraid of her own bike, a Ben Affleck–impersonating Off-Broadway performer and playwright, and, finally, a comedy writer and actress prone to starting fights with her friends and coworkers with the sentence “Can I just say one last thing about this, and then I swear I’ll shut up about it?”
Perhaps you want to know what Mindy thinks makes a great best friend (someone who will fill your prescription in the middle of the night), or what makes a great guy (one who is aware of all elderly people in any room at any time and acts accordingly), or what is the perfect amount of fame (so famous you can never get convicted of murder in a court of law), or how to maintain a trim figure (you will not find that information in these pages). If so, you’ve come to the right book, mostly!
In Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?, Mindy invites readers on a tour of her life and her unscientific observations on romance, friendship, and Hollywood, with several conveniently placed stopping points for you to run errands and make phone calls. Mindy Kaling really is just a Girl Next Door—not so much literally anywhere in the continental United States, but definitely if you live in India or Sri Lanka.
Tickets to this event are $27 and include a copy of Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?
