"SOURCE Intergroup Dialogue on Skin Tone"
Participants will reflect on how "skin tone" impacts their college
experiences as well as the dynamics "skin tone" brings to the Cultural
Center. This dialogue explores similarities, differences and conflicts
related to the multicultural student community. This is also an opportunity
for personal exploration.

?Intergroup Dialogue is a facilitated face-to-face interaction between
students from difference background, with the goal of raising awareness
about their differences as well as commonalities. It creates room for
students to engage in honest and productive dialogues about issues of social
inequalities and explore ways in which they can work together towards
justice and equity.? Z??iga, X. & Nagda, B. A., Chesler, M, & Cytron-Walker,
A. (2007). Intergroup dialogue in high education: Meaningful learning about
social justice. ASHE-ERIC Higher Education Report Volume 32, Number 4. San

Hi, there,
if you keep receiving junk mail from hampshire mailing list, that's because
I have been trying to figure out how it works. I think I probably shouldn't
have sent through gmail account. Anyway, sorry if I bombarded you with tons
of weird emails.
An update:
Our new scholar won't arrive until monday and we can welcome him together at
some point. I will try to stop by the mod tomorrow morning and see how
everybody is doing.

Cheers,
Xiaolei

Subject: [CenterForFeminisms] Screening of THE HERETICS by Joan Braderman,
Oct. 22, Academy of Music/Northampton
To: centerforfeminisms at lists.hampshire.edu




THE HERETICS, a brilliant new documentary feature, by award winning
local filmmaker Joan Braderman, will be shown at the Academy of Music
in downtown Northampton at 7:30 PM on Thursday, Oct. 22.

The film opened to packed houses at the Museum of Modern Art in New
York City last Friday evening. An extra show was added after the first
to accommodate the overflow crowd. Friday morning, the New York Times
had published a rave review, calling the THE HERETICS,
"exuberant...gives a joyful sense of what it was like to be a
feminist in the 1970's, a time when `everything seemed possible'. The
high profile women artists and writers today, she writes, are "just
as passionate and engaged. It's a pleasure to spend time in their
company."

Three years in the making, THE HERETICS uncovers the inside story of
the Second Wave of the Women's Movement for the first time in a feature
film. Joan Braderman, director and narrator, follows her dream of
becoming a filmmaker to New York City in 1971. By lucky chance, she
joins a feminist art collective at the epicenter of the 1970's art
world in lower Manhattan. In this first person account, THE HERETICS
charts the history of a feminist collective from the inside out.

The Heresies Collective published "HERESIES: A Feminist Publication
on Art and Politics," from 1977-1992. THE HERETICS focuses on the
Heresies Collective as a microcosm of the larger international Women's
Movement in which thousands of small, intimate groups of women met
together to consider their situation -- as women in a man's world --
and to devise strategies for unlocking their potential.

Director Joan Braderman is an award-winning video artist and filmmaker
whose work is in such permanent collections as MoMA, the Stedelijk
Museum in Amsterdam, the Institute of Contemporary Art in London, and
the Georges Pompidou Center in Paris. Her films and videos have been
shown in film festivals around the world including: the 1987 Whitney
Biennial Exhibition, the Edinburgh Film Festival, the San Francisco Gay
and Lesbian Film Festival, VIDEO VISIONS at Lincoln Center in NYC, the
Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston, the British Film Theater, and
at the American Film Institute in Los Angeles. Braderman took a 3-year
leave from her job as Professor of Film and Video at Hampshire College,
in Amherst, MA to make this film.

Tickets are $20 general admission and $10 for students with ID. There
will be a question and answer period with Joan Braderman after the
screening. Tickets can be purchased at the Academy of Music box office
or on line at www.academyofmusictheater.com. The box office is open
from 3 to 6 PM from Tuesday through Friday. Credit card users will be
charged an additional 5%.

With its world premiere, a week long run, Oct. 9-15, at the Museum of
Modern Art, this will be the second showing THE HERETICS. You can get
more information on the project at www.heresiesfilmproject.org, where
there are also many hi-res stills available for promotion. You can see
a trailer at that site or at www.academyofmusictheater.com.

Do you sometimes wonder if talking to someone about your problems and/or

Are you curious about how you might use therapy? About what people talk
about in therapy?

Please join staff from the Health Services (
http://www.hampshire.edu/studentlife/10799.htm) for an information session
about therapy at Hampshire College. We will describe some difficulties

"SOURCE Intergroup Dialogue on Skin Tone" (SOURCE - coalition of Students of
Under-Represented Cultures & Ethnicities)
Participants will reflect on how "skin tone" impacts their college
experiences as well as the dynamics "skin tone" brings to the Cultural
Center and beyond. This dialogue explores similarities, differences and
conflicts related to the multicultural student community. This is also an
opportunity for personal exploration.

?Intergroup Dialogue is a facilitated face-to-face interaction between
students from difference background, with the goal of raising awareness
about their differences as well as commonalities. It creates room for
students to engage in honest and productive dialogues about issues of social
inequalities and explore ways in which they can work together towards
justice and equity.? Z??iga, X. & Nagda, B. A., Chesler, M, & Cytron-Walker,
A. (2007). Intergroup dialogue in high education: Meaningful learning about
social justice. ASHE-ERIC Higher Education Report Volume 32, Number 4. San
Francisco: Jossey-Bass.

"Between Cultures: The psychology of multiple cultural affiliation" workshop

Monday, Nov. 2
@ 3:30pm ? 5:00pm, Cultural Center

This brief workshop, facilitated by Dr. Nina Wurgaft of the Hampshire
College Counseling Service, will address issues that arise when a person
feels that "who they are" is too complex to fit into existing socially
sanctioned cultural categories. People who are multilingual, multiracial,
multiethnic or multinational often describe a feeling of "belonging both
everywhere and nowhere" at the same time; their identity, sometimes even
their name, is context-dependent. All who are interested in exploring the
complexities of this increasingly prevalent psychological experience are
welcome to attend. (This program is part of the Cultural Center's continued
series,"SOURCE Well-Being Programs")
