Hello All,

This looks great, my friend DaVaughn asked me to pass it along. You 

should all consider attending this as well as "The Message of Crash" at 

7:30 Thursday night in the Ira Allen Chapel, and "The Female Orgasm" at 

9PM on Friday in CC Theater.

It looks like it's going to be a good week...

Hope it's good to you all,

The Next Installment Women's HerStory Month Programming

                            "Slaying the Dragon"

                               Hosted by SOJO



Slaying the Dragon takes a close look at the portrayal of Asian and

Asian American women in Hollywood films.  This has been a subject of

much debate over time and now the debate comes to UVM.



The film "Slaying the Dragon" is an one-hour long documentary which

identifies and

examines the various racial and stereotypical roles and portrayals

that Asian-American women have played in American media.



Particular emphasis is place on the evolution of the Asian-American

women?s image in American film; from the use of white actors to play

Asians in early American films to the type casting of Asian-Americans

women in to the role of anchorwoman of today and seductive, stealthy

martial arts actress.



Come watch this film and share your thoughts in a facilitated

discussion following the screening by members of SOJO Special Ops.
