5 Triangle students taking research to U.N.
Several Triangle college students have looked beyond the comforts of their own lives to delve into the hardships facing women in rural areas of North Carolina and the rest of the globe.
Anuja Acharya, a senior at N.C. State University, is one of five women who have received fellowships to present their research at an upcoming United Nations event.
They will offer previews of their presentations at a forum and dinner Thursday at the N.C. State University Club. The News & Observer is a sponsor of the program.
“This is exploring an issue we see right here in our own backyards and how it can be applied on a larger scale,” she said. Acharya studied political participation of rural women for her fellowship.
Hannah Nemer, a sophomore at UNC Chapel Hill whose researched was on technology education for girls, said she was struck by the fact that each of the fellows were able to find local issues facing rural women that apply on a global scale.
WomenNC, an all-volunteer, nonprofit organization, has sponsored fellowships for students to present at the Commission on the Status of Women at U.N.
The mysterious affair of how Agatha Christie is teaching foreigners English
Agatha Christie is about to try to solve a new mystery – the riddle of how to teach foreigners to learn English.
Twenty of her most famous novels are being rewritten in simplified versions so they can be used in the classroom to teach non-native English speakers how to read and speak the language. They will also be accompanied by notes aimed at helping the students gain a greater historical and cultural perspective about the UK and CDs with a reading of the story.
It will, of course, mean that for thousands of people their first taste of English life will be centred on duplicitous murder.
Christie’s grandson, Mathew Prichard, said the idea would have pleased the famous writer. “
