<p>Since 1930 the ��ɫ��Ƶ’s best have been recognized at a special awards ceremony dedicated to highlighting their outstanding accomplishments and extraordinary service.</p>

<p class="p1">Sky gazers will be better immersed in spectacular views at the ��ɫ��Ƶ’s Fiske Planetarium since the dome’s nearly 40-year-old analog projector was replaced with a new digital “star ball” in a project completed this week.</p>

<p>When the conversation turns to global warming, many Americans are inclined to turn away. And why not?</p>
<p>After all, it’s a vast and complicated subject. Truly understanding it seems to require specialized knowledge most people don’t possess. And perhaps most notably, it’s become such a hot-button political issue that it easily inflames passions.</p>
<p>The trick is figuring out how to reach people without turning them off.</p>
<p>Using the arts to inspire an emotional connection to and a deeper understanding of a difficult subject is the idea behind a series of events at CU-Boulder Oct. 1-6.</p>

<p>The ��ɫ��Ƶ will host a conference that explores the phenomenon of slavery from a global, historical perspective on Sept. 27-28.</p>
<p>The event will include scholars specializing in the study of slavery in ancient, medieval and modern contexts and in global regions that include Western, pre-Columbian, African, Asian and Muslim. Titled “What is a Slave Society: an International Conference on the Nature of Slavery as a Global Historical Phenomenon,” the event will be held in the British and Irish Studies room of Norlin Library.</p>
