*About the Social Justice Film Series*: Brought to you by the Center for
Cultural Pluralism, the Spring 2015 Social Justice Film Series theme is
*/"Internationalizing Social Justice" /*and offers participants an
educational opportunity to explore through film and subsequent discourse
isses related to social justice and diversity through a transnational
lens. Participants will examine and deconstruct the boundary between
domestic and international views on identity and justice. Films selected
for the Social Justice Film Series have one viewing and are generally
screened up to a half hour and followed by an engaged discourse on the
themes by the participants. To be respectful of your time, it is our
hope that this entire educational program does not exceed ninety minutes.
