[History undergraduates] Political Campaign Internship Opportunity
by Kara M Schlichting 20 Mar '18

20 Mar '18

Dear QC History Students- As Director of Internships for the History Department I am writing with a position that might be of interest to politically-minded history students. Please see the email and attachment below for a new internship opportunity. Unlike most of the internship calls we share with QC students, please be aware that this is a partisan internship working for a Queens politician, a member U.S. House of Representatives. If you have any questions or concerns about the nature of this work, please feel free to contact me. The History Department does not endorse this candidate and we do not engage in politics, but I want to draw the position to your attention in case you are interested in political history or political science. It is not clear if this is a paid internship, so if you are interested in it, please be sure to follow up regarding that question. Sincerely, Dr. Schlichting Kara Murphy Schlichting, PhD Assistant Professor Queens College-CUNY, History Department ________________________________ From: alex <alex(a)crowleyforcongress.com> Sent: Monday, March 19, 2018 12:33 PM To: Kara M Schlichting Subject: Internship Opportunity Dear Mrs. Schlichting, My name is Alex Katz and I am a Field Organizer with Joe Crowley for Congress.

Ngugi wa Thiong'o was imprisoned without charge at Kamiti Maximum Security Prison in 1977, but that did not stop him from speaking out. With only toilet paper to write on, he completed the novel Caitani Mutharabaini (Devil on the Cross, 1982) during his year as a political prisoner. What was it like to write under 24-hour surveillance? Together with NYU neuroscientist André Fenton, Ngugi wa Thiong'o will explore the experience of time in prison and how it informed his creative process. Since his release from prison, Thiong'o has earned international acclaim for his powerful novels and critical writings about postcolonial Kenya. A book signing featuring Wrestling with the Devil will follow the program. Co-presented by the Human Rights Watch<https://rubinmuseum.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7bc1588b278eeab272a1c…>.
