4:30-7:00 PM Film Screening Central Station (1998) and Discussion by Dr. Ayers, McLane 121
Central Station (1998). Director Walter Salles tells a profoundly moving tale of the human spirit. Inside Rio de Janeiro’s bustling Central Station, two very unlikely souls are about to become inextricably linked. When a young boy witnesses his mother’s accidental death, a lonely retired schoolteacher reluctantly takes the child under her wing. Although initially distrustful of each other, the two form an uncommon bond as they venture from the bustling city to Brazil’s barren and remote northeast region in search of the boy’s father. Together, the two embark on a journey of the heart that restores the woman’s spirit and teaches the child precious life lessons. This highly acclaimed film received numerous awards, including a Golden Globe and two Academy Award nominations. In Portuguese with English subtitles. 113 min.
Dr. William Ayers is founder of both the Small Schools Workshop and the Center for Youth and Society, teaches courses in interpretive and qualitative research, urban school change, and teaching and the modern predicament. A graduate of the University of Michigan, the Bank Street College of Education, Bennington College, and Teachers College, Columbia University, Ayers has written extensively about social justice, democracy and education, the cultural contexts of schooling, and teaching as an essentially intellectual, ethical, and political enterprise. He is currently the vice-president of the curriculum division of the American Educational Research Association, and a member of the executive committee of the UIC Faculty Senate.
Ayers' articles have appeared in many journals including the Harvard Educational Review, the Journal of Teacher Education, Teachers College Record, Rethinking Schools, The Nation, Educational Leadership, the New York Times and the Cambridge Journal of Education. His has authored and co-authored several books including To Teach: The Journey of a Teacher (Teachers College Press, 1993), which was named Book of the Year in 1993 by Kappa Delta Pi and won the Witten Award for Distinguished Work in Biography and Autobiography in 1995.

“The Struggle for Armenian Genocide Recognition in the United States”
The Armenian Studies Program at Fresno State presents
Michael Bobelian, Free-Lance Writer and Editor
“The Struggle for Armenian Genocide Recognition in the United States”
Date: Wednesday, April 21, 2010
Time: 7:30 PM
Place: Fresno State University Business Center
A. Peters Auditorium, Rm. 191
Free Admission. Parking restrictions are relaxed in UBC Lot after 7:00PM.
Despite the growing literature on the Armenian Genocide in recent decades, little has been written about the post-Genocide history of the Armenians or their decades-long struggle for justice in the face of Turkish denial of this atrocity. This lecture fills that gap by closely analyzing this period through the use of previously untapped archives and Freedom of Information Requests.
Copies of Bobelian's book, "Children of Armenia:A Forgotten Genocide and the Century-long Struggle for Justice " will be available for sale at the lecture.

"It is In You: Health Justice Performance in Tanzania"
Date: Friday, April 16, 2010
Time: 2 PM
Place: Education Building 172
California State University-Fresno Department of Communication Presents
"It is In You: Health Justice Performance in Tanzania"
A performance in movement, spoken word and live music exploring the politics of development, HIV, and the body
Come, Watch, Enjoy, and Participate!!
Directed by Joseph Megel
By Marie Garlock
Created in collaboration with, and catalyzed by insight of Tanzanian educators, health justice and artistic activists
Inviting all invested in global and cultural studies, performance, public health, and community development to a performance of critical ethnography.
Marie Garlock comes alive in listening, movement and collaboration; and in art moving for new possibility, for health and for dignity. This has taken shape in modern and African dance, cultural and spiritual storytelling, composition of motion and spoken word, health justice/arts organizing, and the discovery of critical ethnography performance. She enjoys being able to question, envision and journey along with an audience, as part of an experience that breathes, coming alive in the vitality of bodies present with one another. Previously envisioning a career in law and politics, she is learning that performance is perhaps most practical in its humanity - effective and living because of the inextricable body, ever-questioning spirit and mind that yearns for expansion through the company of others. She is drawn to work that is magnetizing as it recognizes the capability of restlessness, goodwill and transferable knowledge in all of us. This is where art makes your heart leap; where the notion of justice compels art. In pursuit, solidarity, as witness, spark, as not just end, but beginning.
Garlock's recent work includes performing in a quartet of African, Balinese and Ballet/Modern Dance fused with Tai Chi, set by powerful South African choreographer Vincent Mantsoe; a staged reading of "Trojan Barbie," a feminist car crash encounter with Euripedes' "Trojan Women"; work with an interactive forum theatre group at UNC surrounding issues of sexuality, sexual assault, body image and race; and curation of a regional celebration of dance and best practices in direct-service HIV initiatives co-founded with Dr. Chuck Davis in 2006, the Triangle Dance Festival for AIDS.
