In Loving Memory of Ricardo "Vencedor" Ambriz 

Fundraising efforts for Ricky's family - This Week!

 

Ricky will be remembered as a funny and cheerful guy.  Sincere condolences to his family, Phi Iota Alpha Brothers, and his girlfriend. This is an attempt to show that although we all belong to different organizations on campus we all come together as the Greek family we are. Even though raising the money will never bring him, it would most definitely help the family in this time of need. Our goal is to help the family raise money for funeral expenses.

 

As a continuing effort to collectively raise funds for Ricky Ambriz and his family, we will be holding a series of fundraisers throughout the week and satisfying all your cravings. There are a number of events this week, including taco sales; the most direct avenue is through an on-line fundraising site.  All funds go directly to Ricky's family. Click here for more information and to view schedule of fundraisers.

STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS
PHIL 169: Feminism and Philosophy
Mondays & Wednesdays | 2-4:50PM
Summer Session I
Instructor: Amy Berg

In this course, we will discuss why feminism has mattered to philosophers and how to apply philosophy to issues women (and men) face in everyday life. We will study the history of feminist philosophy, feminism's contributions to philosophy, different kinds of feminist philosophy, and new directions for feminist philosophy, including issues of class, race, and the environment. Everyone is welcome! No previous work in philosophy or academic feminism is required, and there are no prerequisites for this course.

For more info contact Amy Berg at aeberg@ucsd.edu or visit the website here
CGS 105: Queer Theory
Queer Theory/Queer Cinema
Mondays & Wednesdays | 2-4:50PM
Summer Session II
Instructor: Ashvin R. Kini

 

This course will offer an introduction to some of the key debates and questions in the study of lesbian, gay, trans, and queer sexualities. We will approach the field of queer studies by viewing a handful of iconic queer films of the past few decades: Isaac Julien's Looking For Langston; Dee Rees' Pariah; Jennie Livingston's Paris is Burning; and Wong Kar-Wai's Happy Together. These films will allow us an opportunity to engage a range of issues addressed in the various critical essays we will read by queer studies scholars and activists including the history of sexuality; family, kinship, and marriage; representation and performance; queer subcultures; and migration and globalization. Throughout our study, we will consider how gender and sexuality intersect with formations  of race, class, citizenship, and culture. Click here for more info!
Racialized Hauntings, Ghosted Embodiments
Mondays & Wednesdays | 2-4:50PM
Summer Session II
Instructor June J. Yuen Ting
  
Gender/text/culture: in this somewhat unconventional "literature" class, we will see "culture" itself as "texts" to be read like literature, and take "gender" - or better, the critiques of heteropatriarchy - as the lens to analyze culture as texts. This course will explore "hauntings" as a genre of critical inquiry that attends to the surplused, unclaimed, and uncontainable relations of the empirical, juridical, and rational modes of knowing and embodying - as well as unknowing and disembodying - the enduring violence of slavery, genocide, imperialist war, and primitive accumulation. Click here for more info!

 
ETHN 118: Contemporary Immigration Issues
Mondays & Wendesdays | 11AM-1:50PM
Summer Session II
Instructor: Kyung Hee Ha

This course will examine diverse issues around (im)migration -the movement and circulation of bodies, cultures, and knowledges -in the era of globalization.
