Asian Pacific American film series @ IU Cinema
Please mark your calender's for "Movement," IU Cinema's Asian Pacific American film series, timed to kick off IUB's Asian Pacific American Heritage Month 2014! http://www.cinema.indiana.edu/?post_type=series&p=6151 Thursday, March 27, 7 pm IN THE FAMILY In the town of Martin, Tennessee, six-year-old Chip Hines has only known a good life with his two dads, Cody and Joey. But when Cody dies suddenly in a car accident, his will reveals that he has named his sister as Chip’s guardian. The years of Joey’s acceptance into Cody’s family unravel as Chip is taken away from him. In his now solitary home life, Joey searches for a solution. In the Family is a heartfelt story woven around “two-Dad” families, loss, interracial relations, the American South, and the human side of the law. Director Patrick Wang is scheduled to be present. Friday, March 28, 3 pm Jorgensen Guest Filmmaker LECTURE by filmmaker PATRICK WANG Friday, March 28, 7 pm AMERICAN REVOLUTIONARY: THE LIFE OF GRACE LEE BOGGS What does it mean to be an American revolutionary today? Grace Lee Boggs is a 98-year-old Detroiter whose vision of revolution will surprise you. As a writer, activist, and philosopher, she has devoted her life to exposing the contradictions of America’s past and realizing its potentially radical future. American Revolutionary plunges us into Boggs’s lifetime of thinking and action, from labor and civil rights to Black Power, feminism, environmental justice, the Asian American movement, and beyond. Revolution, Boggs says, is about something deep within the human experience—the ability to transform oneself to transform the world. Saturday, March 28, 3 pm LINSANITY: THE MOVIE Aspiring filmmaker Evan Jackson Leong needed a documentary subject, and high school basketball player Jeremy Lin fit the bill. What Leong could never have imagined in his wildest dreams was Lin’s sudden, meteoric rise to planetary NBA sensation in 2012 as the New York Knicks’ backup point guard. Before “Linsanity”took the world by storm, Leong was there to capture every step of this legend in the making. The series is sponsored by IU’s Asian Culture Center, Asian American Studies Program, Office of the Vice President for Diversity, Equity, and Multicultural Affairs, Departments of History, Department of Communication and Culture, College of Arts and Sciences, Center for Research on Race and Ethnicity in Society, IU GLBT Student Support Services Office, and IU Cinema. Screenings are free, but ticketed.
Event: #NotYourAsianSidekick: Activism In The Digital Era by Suey Park
Hosted by Asian American Studies Program and Asian Culture Center
Date: March 7, 2013
Time: 5:30 pm – 7 pm
Venue: IU School of Journalism Auditorium, Ernie Pyle Hall, 940 East Seventh St.
Description:
We will look into the past, present, and future of women of color feminism to understand how new tools in a digital era can offer both potential progress and traps for organizing. Drawing from the work of Andrea Smith, Angela Davis, and Audre Lorde, women of color feminism needs to fight back against weaponized identity politics, settler colonialism, and anti-blackness in order to truly lead to evolutionary movements. Social media has been a tool for marginalized communities to fight for racial justice. Different techniques and tools will be covered.
About Suey Park (@Suey_Park):
Suey Park is a writer and activist whose work has appeared in The Nation, Washington Post, XOJane, Racialicious, and on CNN, the BBC, as well as her own blog, Critical Spontaneity. She is best known for starting the popular Twitter hashtag #NotYourAsianSidekick which brought Asian-American feminist experiences to the fore of online feminist discourse. Park takes an intersectional approach to activism and believes all systems of oppression, including capitalism, must be dismantled to achieve liberation. As a leader of a new generation of online feminist activists, her writings primarily focus on the lives of women of color and their intersections with technology.

IU Lecture: The Play's the Thing: A Journey through the Drama of South Africa
Please join the Comparative Literature Department for the first Wertheim Lecture in Comparative Drama October 3, 2013, 4:30 p.m., Lilly Library The Play's the Thing: A Journey through the Drama of South Africa by Dennis Walder Prof. Dennis Walder will reflect on personal encounters with playmaking during the turbulent final years of South African apartheid and beyond. Focusing on the country's most prolific and well-known dramatist, Athol Fugard, and with reference to Hans-Georg Gadamer, Shakespeare and Brecht, Prof. Walder will explore how playmaking, politics, and history are inextricably entwined. How did popular and elite theatre interact under oppression? What are the lasting effects of challenging a dominant colonialist culture? What kind of theatre can capture the conscience of the king? Dennis Walder is Emeritus Professor of Literature at the UK's revolutionary Open University. He is the former director of the Open University's Ferguson Centre for African and Asian Studies, as well as the founding director of the Post-Colonial Literatures Research Group. His first book on South Africa's best-known playwright, Athol Fugard, appeared in 1984, and he has since edited three volumes of Fugard's plays for Oxford University Press. Walder has contextualized his research on South African drama further in Post-Colonial Literatures: History, Language, Theory (Blackwell, 1998) and Postcolonial Nostalgias: Writing, Memory and Representation (Routledge, 2010). Light refreshments will follow the lecture. The Department of Comparative Literature thanks Ted Widlanski, Martha Jacobs, Judy Wertheim, and the Department of Theatre, Drama, and Contemporary Dance for their support for this lecture.

Department of History
Lawrence, Kansas
The University of Kansas Department of History is pleased to be hosting WHEATS in Spring 2014. Now in its tenth year, the Workshop for the History of Environment, Agriculture, Technology, and Science (WHEATS) brings together graduate students studying the history of the environment, agriculture, science, or technology. WHEATS is open to submissions from any discipline with interests in these fields. Papers — generally 25-30 pages — are circulated in advance to all participants, and at the workshop papers receive feedback from participants and senior scholars through a roundtable discussion. This format is well suited for works in progress, and the workshop will have sessions on professional development as well as opportunities to meet and engage other scholars in the KU community.
Due to logistical constraints, papers must be in English.
KU plans to provide housing, food, and some funding to help defray travel costs. Potential participants should submit a one-page abstract (200 words) and a short curriculum vitae by Nov. 15, 2013. Submit proposals at https://history.drupal.ku.edu/call-proposals. All submissions will be acknowledged by e-mail. Acceptance will confirmed by Dec. 1, 2013.
