Feminism, the OTHER F-Word, March 9th

Hello FORCErs!

So now that everyone's all nice and settled into their schedules, it's time for the first F-Word event of the semester! What is F-Word?

Basically, it's a space to ask and discuss feminism, how we feel about it, and for newbies to come into a safe space to ask any questions that they might have for our facilitator or speaker. Sometimes they follow a theme or topic. As this is the first one of the semester, we will try to touch base with the very basic fundamentals of feminism, and we encourage all nay-sayers and good sports to come and ask questions. After all, we are on a University campus, and if we're not supposed to encourage discussion, then what are we doing?

March 9th, 2009
12:30-1:30pm
Speaker's Platform/Lawns (Across from the 49er bookstore)

As it is lunchtime, you are all encouraged to tote your snacks or lunches around.

Feminist peace and love!

Social & Multicultural Foundations of Education Film Night

Come watch an interesting film. It's free and educational!

Dangerous Living: Coming Out in the Developing World is the first documentary to deeply explore the lives of gay and lesbian people in non-western cultures. Traveling to five different continents, we hear the heartbreaking and triumphant stories of gays and lesbians from Egypt, Honduras, Kenya, Thailand and elsewhere, where most occurrences of oppression receive no media coverage at all. By sharing the personal stories coming out of developing nations, Dangerous Living sheds light on an emerging global movement striving to end discrimination and violence against gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered people.

Date: Wednesday, March 19th

Time: 7:00pm

Place: Academic Services Building Room 244 Please note: the Academic Services (AS) building is directly across from ED-1

"A childlike (wo)man is not a (wo)man whose development
has been arrested; on the contrary, (s)he is a (wo)man who
has given (her)self a chance of continuing to develop long
after most adults have muffled themselves in the cocoon of
middle aged habit and convention."

-- Aldous Huxley
