<div class="moz-cite-prefix"> Due to totally unexpected travel
problems beyond their control, we regret that the visiting
scholar activists will not be coming to Hampshire College this
week. We hope to reschedule their visits in the future.<br>
<u>HOWEVER, both events will proceed WITHOUT the visitors:</u><br>
<ol>
<li>Hampshire faculty will lead a discussion related to Vron
Ware's feminist work at <strong>5.30pm on Thursday, March
28th at The Center for Feminisms</strong> (light
refreshments)</li>
<li>Video clips sent by Paul Gilroy will be screened at <strong>4pm
on Friday, March 29th at The Cultural Center </strong>(light

We apologize for the change of plans, and hope many will still
join us.<br>

Inspired by the words of Gertrude Stein, Vron Ware reflects on
her life-work fighting racism and militarism. From combating
fascists in the 1970s to investigating the British Army in 2008,
Vron will talk about how the politics of feminist curiosity have
guided her in her life as an activist, scholar and writer. Vron
Ware has engaged in life-long activism around questions of post
colonialism and race, She is currently a Research Fellow at The
Open University, UK. Author of the influential book <strong>Beyond
the Pale: white women, racism and history,</strong>she has
also written <strong>Out of Whiteness: color, politics and
culture</strong> and <strong>Who Cares about Britishness?</strong>.
Her new study of racism and diversity in the contemporary
British Army, <strong>Military Migrants: Fighting for YOUR
country</strong>, was published by Palgrave Macmillan in 2012.
She was editor of the anti-fascist, anti-racist, magazine
Searchlight from 1981-3 and taught at Yale from 1999 to 2005.<br>
