Critical Race Conference at UCLA
Moderated by faculty members of CRS Program at UCLA,/"Race, Sexuality & the Law: Abercrombie, Imus & Beyond"/ will feature interdisciplinary academic panels exploring the role of law, culture, media and communities in shaping representations of race, gender and sexual orientation. Sponsored in conjunction with the Williams Institute, the nation's leading think tank on sexual orientation law and policy, the Symposium will foreground current events and questions including:
*·** *What are the connections between homoerotic and racially exclusionary images used by retailers, such as Abercrombie & Fitch, and prevailing conceptions of masculinity and beauty?
*·* How do employment laws permit, reproduce or challenge these exclusionary practices?
*·* How do media framings of controversies such as Don Imus' attack on the Rutgers' women's basketball team obscure the intersectional nature of discrimination against women of color?
*·* How do stereotypical representations of people of color and their sexuality in media and entertainment influence interracial interactions and opportunities in workplaces, universities and public spaces?
Launched in April 2007, the CRS Program Symposium is an annual event which brings together academics, practitioners, students and community members to examine leading research on racial justice in an interdisciplinary and intellectually rigorous forum.
The Symposium is free to the public and convenes over 300 people from law schools, ethnic studies and race-related research centers, graduate and undergraduate programs, law firms, legal services organizations and community-based social change agencies from across the country.

*The mission of CRS at UCLA is to _think_ new ideas, _teach_ new scholars and_transform_ racial justice advocacy.
