The Other Pipeline: Tracking Working Class
Youth into the Military
Thursday | April 15 | 4:30-6pm
Cross-Cultural Center
Access to higher education becomes limited to a
fortunate
few, the majority of working class
youth face a future of low paying jobs,
prison, or
the military. Military recruiters are adept to
pitching their
product in what is most often a deceptive package;
many of the promises made
are never kept and young people find that
they have signed up for something
they never expected. According to
the Pentagon's own studies, most youth enlist
for the promised
educational benefits. As one character in the movie "Jarhead"
replied
when asked why he joined the Marines: "I got lost on my way to
college." Professor Jorge Mariscal will be talking about recruiting
techniques
and what you can do to demilitarize our schools.

one of the Co-Executive Directors of SPARK

barriers for oppressed communities to work
together and build alliances for liberation. Though her activism
changes and evolves, her roots remain firmly planted in ending sexual
violence. (from angryasianmen.com)

The Myth of Europe: Whiteness[?] and

racialization of Italians as white in the U.S. and the problematic issues
tied to it. Dr. Fatima El Tayeb of Literature will speak about her
research in the area of Whiteness in a European context. This will be a
