more politics, other events

Just wanted to be sure that folks were aware of other events upcoming on campus this week, which will be exploring feminist politics in a range of other venues. The first one will take place before our class meets again:

"Women's Well Being and Gender Activism: Domestic Violence Bill Becoming Law in Ghana" is a lecture this Monday, October 8th, 2007, sponsored by the Center for International Studies, by Akosua Adomako Ampofo, Associate Professor, Institute of African Studies and Director, Centre for Gender Studies & Advocacy of the University of Ghana. It will be held in Carpenter Library, Room 21, Monday, October 8, 2007 4:00pm.

The second event is a symposium on the future of Latino/a studies, to be held on campus next Wed. and Thurs. The session on Thursday afternoon is called "Sexing Latina/o Studies: Feminisms, Queer Studies and the Practice of Latinidad." And the final session, "The Languages of Latinidad: Readings by U.S. Latina/o Writers," will include a reading by Tamarinda Figueroa, who is a member of our class. All details available @ the symposium website.

The third event, on Thursday, Oct. 11, at 4:30 p.m. in Carpenter B21, is a presentation and discussion with Susan Stryker about her documentary, Screaming Queens: The Riot at Compton's Cafeteria.
