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.

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.
