Hey Everyone!

Welcome to the new UWomen Listserv.Posted below are a collection of events that are not in any particular order. To avoid confusion, ignore below and look to your right instead. Here you will see a tantalizing selection of links under CATEGORIES which will bring you to specific events…

“Women’s Center Events/Programs,” for instance, will tell you what we are sponsoring.

“On Campus Events” will tell you about other events on campus that relate to our mission.

“Off Campus Events” works in a similar fashion… except it’s for off-campus events.

“Announcements” announce student organizations, calls for papers, and other deliciously sweet ways to get involved.

I think you get the picture.

You will also find a selection of links that bring you to pages that describe the listserv, give the Women’s Center’s mission, and allow you to view descriptions of the groups that we have to offer. Take some time to navigate the site.

19^th Thursday Night at the Movies - Racial Stereotypes in the Media
Although demeaning and offensive racial stereotypes were pervasive in popular media of every kind during the 20th century, most observers would agree that the media is much more sensitive to representations of race today. But the pernicious effects of that stereotyping live on in the new racism arising from disparities in the treatment of stories involving whites and people of colour in a ratings-driven news market, media-enhanced isolationism as a result of narrowcasting, and other sources. This program examines the relationship between mass media and social constructions of race from political and economic perspectives while looking at the effects media can have on audiences.
