CENTER
Celebrating 15 years...
"We exist in relation to one another in this space of shared difference and commonalities. In our efforts to build communities, we gather, on COMMON GROUND- to break barriers and challenges ideas, to affirm experiences, and empower ourselves. Our lives, together with the words and images we leave behind allow us to relate and remember."-Jon Salunga, 1997

THE F-WORD FILM SERIES PRESENTS...
"ain't i a feminist?"
Women's Center. Thur Nov 12. 5-7pm
Is feminism seen as a white women's movement? What are the changing faces of
feminism? What does it mean, and what does it take, to build a community around
feminist issues, including race, class, and sexuality?
In January of 1993, UCSD's student-run Women's Resource Center collapsed
over issues of racism and white privilege. Leng Caloh and Deborah James
produced "ain't i a feminist" in a feminist video workshop to record the
factors that led to the dissolution, as well as to explore the growing
alliances between UCSD's women of color, and the white women's growing
awareness of their white privilege. The video documents personal and political
pain and growth of women struggling with issues of race, gender,
coalition-building, friendship, and activism. While the documentary does not
provide concrete answers, it does draw certain conclusions about the importance
and centrality of race & ethnicity to feminism. Guest Speaker: Leng Caloh, Filmmaker & UCSD Alum. Pizza
and drinks will be provided!

GENDER IDENTITY IN K-12 EDUCATION
LGBT Resource Center. Wed Nov 18. 5-7pm
 Ever wonder how kids learn about gender? How did you learn
about gender? Teachers, parents, and mentors throughout our education
have taught us more than math, history and our ABC's. Some have taught us life
lessons and some taught us all about gender and our roles. Come travel back in
time and examine your school days before college and remember what and how you
learned about gender. Maybe someday you'll pass on what you've learned. Light
refreshments and snacks will be provided. If you have any questions feel free
