Dear colleague:
I am hoping to get your help in promoting the Center for Cultural
Pluralism's Fall 2011 Social Justice Film Series. Our theme '(Un)covering
Identities' offers participants an educational opportunity to
explore through film and subsequent discourse to engage issues of
identity in its various forms, visible and invisible. Please see the
attached flyer that outlines our Fall 2011 schedule. Please feel
free to forward on your listservs, or even print out a copy and
spread the word.
Coming up...next Wednesday! Our first film screening - Here are the
details!
"People like us" (Part One)
When/Where: Wednesday, September 7th, 2011 at 12 PM
(Allen House) and 7:30 PM (L/L Fireplace Lounge). Note: Each
film will have two viewings.
Synopsis: Bud or Bordeaux? The choices you make reveal
your class. Being middle-class, working-class, upper-class - its
the 800-pound gorilla in American life that most Americans don't
think about: How do income, family background, education,
attitudes, aspirations, and even appearance mark someone as a
member of a particular social class? Class can be harder to spot
than racial or ethnic differences, yet in many ways, its the most
important predictor of what kind of financial and educational
opportunities someone will have access to in life.
Look forward to your help in promoting our program as well as
your participation.
With deepest respect,
Dirk
