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
to message nguerrer@ucsd.edu.

BULLYING: An Age-old Problem that Needs New Solutions LGBT Resource Center. Thur Nov 19. 5-6:30pm
Bullying has
been around for as long as anyone can remember.
Research has shown that bullying is a common but very complicated
problem that affects all of us in the LGBT community, if not directly as
bullies and/or victims, or indirectly as witnesses to interpersonal violence.
Given the complexity of the issue, the solutions are not simple ones, at least
not as simple as we'd like. Come join us as we
explore; what is bullying? For more info or questions, contact ggjacobs52@yahoo.com.

SHADES OF LOVE: A Dialogue on Interracial Relationships LGBT Resource Center Conference Room. Tues Nov 24. 5-7pm
All relationships
need a little bit of lovin', and a lot of work. Same-sex relationships present
their own unique hurdles, but what sustains it is no different. But what about
interracial relationships? How do people's different ethnic and racial
backgrounds impact commitments to each other, both in opportunities of growth,
and challenges? If you've ever wanted to be in love, been in love, or still
figuring out what that actually means, then this program is for you! Come with
an open mind, and an open heart, as we share and discuss our views on how
couples in interracial relationships are perceived by others, how they perceive
themselves, and the many ways couples negotiate the power dynamics or family
& societal expectations placed on their plate. And who knows, we might just
learn a thing or two about the nature of attraction, and what love just might
mean. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to contact Red Galura.

in a study about university cross-cultural centers? Are you a first or
second-year student not working for the Center? If so, then you are perfect for
this study. Volunteers will participate in three focus group sessions during
the 2009-10 academic year. At the focus groups, you will receive free food
and beverages and be entered in an opportunity drawing for a $25 gift
card from the UCSD bookstore. You will be asked to participate in 3 (90 minutes

Our colleague and friend, Greg Toya, is examining university
cross-cultural centers for a dissertation study. Greg is the Associate Dean of
Students and a doctoral student in the joint Educational Leadership doctoral
program at California State University San Marcos and the University of
California, San Diego. As a former cross-cultural center director, Greg's
experience and study will further the understanding of the influence of
cross-cultural centers on students. Here is a flyer regarding the study.

Gallery in the second discussions associated with the current exhibition
entitled Off the Beaten Path: Violence, Women and Art that to explore the global ramifications of gender-based violence. "Throughout the world, women and girls are
victims of countless and senseless acts of violence. The range of gender-based
violence is devastating, occurring, quite literally, from womb to tomb,"
explains Randy Jayne Rosenberg curator and executive
director of Art Works For Change. "The stories
that underlie these artworks return us imaginatively to the event of violation
and allow it to affect us." This program examines the
laws that keep women in compromised positions around the world as well as
within the US. Speakers
include: Carmen Chavez, Casa
Cornelia Law Center; Steve Bush, Jenny's Law; Summer Stephan, District Attorney
of North County
