Listening to our Narratives: Dialogue skills for tough conversations

Reconstructing Resistance: Fighting White Nationalism and Racism with professor Kate Boyd
11:30 a.m. – 12:20 p.m. in PUB 9208
This workshop provides an anti-fascist framework for understanding the rise of white nationalism in the current moment. Participants will unpack commonly held myths about white nationalism while learning about the history of the movement and its current efforts to mainstream. Grounded in an understanding of cultural organizing, we will explore how white nationalists have engaged culture and participants will develop their own anti-racist and anti-fascist cultural organizing practices. Participants will leave with concrete strategies to disrupt, defuse, and dismantle white nationalism and racism.
Film Showing 14: Dred Scott, Wong Kim Ark & Vanessa Lopez
12:30-2:30 p.m. in PUB 9208
The documentary film 14: Dred Scott, Wong Kim Ark & Vanessa Lopez explores the recurring question about who has the right to be an American citizen. 14 examines the citizenship clause of the 14th Amendment through compelling personal stories and expertly-told history. Under the Fourteenth Amendment, “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside ”Descendants of Dred and Harriet Scott and those of Wong Kim Ark tell the stories of how their ancestors fought all the way to the Supreme Court and changed American history.

We’ll spend this time celebrating a work or works by one or two key African American writers.

The Food Pantry Kick-off
11:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. in PUB 9201 & 9202

Sponsored by Center for Equity and Engagement and Student Leadership.
Film Showing: 13th – Q&A with the Black Student Union
11:30 a.m. – 1:20 p.m. in PUB 9208
The title of Ava DuVernay’s extraordinary and galvanizing documentary 13TH refers to the 13th Amendment to the Constitution, which reads “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States.” The progression from that second qualifying clause to the horrors of mass criminalization and the sprawling American prison industry is laid out by DuVernay with bracing lucidity. With a potent mixture of archival footage and testimony from a dazzling array of activists, politicians, historians, and formerly incarcerated women and men, DuVernay creates a work of grand historical synthesis.
“Echao p’alante”: Working Towards an Inclusive and Intersectional Understanding of the US Civil Rights Movement
1:30pm- 2:30pm in PUB 9208
The Civil Rights Movement simply did not just start in 1954 and end in 1964. Our primary school education, history books, and associated media have in many ways collapsed and limited our understanding of the US Civil Rights Movement by esteeming certain types of action and actors while vilifying others often at the expense of the collaborative movements that many have worked so hard to build. This workshop will draw on multiple forms of media in order to contextualize and highlight multiple forms of resistance and sustained struggle against oppression culminating in all of the participants working together to build an inclusive and intersectional visual timeline of the civil rights movement. Presented by BSU Advisor, Jessica Gonzalez.

The show will run: May 12, 13, 14, 19, 20, and 21. Dr. Charles Enlow will be the producer and musical director.
About the show:
The Producers is based around the character of Max Bialystock, a down and out Broadway producer whose latest work flopped on opening night. Max, plagued by his former success and scrabbling to stay afloat, experiences a change in fortune when downtrodden accountant, Leo Bloom, discovers there is money to be made in Max’s theatrical failure. As a result, the two formerly defeated business men form an unlikely union with the goal of creating the worlds worst musical. The plot develops as the duo enlists the help of ridiculous and often farcical characters on the way such as former Nazi and on-going Third Reich enthusiast Franz Liebkind, Ulla the blonde bombshell secretary/receptionist and the flamboyant homosexual director Roger De Bris. As a result of the characters combined brainpower and ludicrous behavior Spring Time for Hitler is born in Broadway.

The college is participating in the Community College Survey of Student Engagement (CCSSE, often called “Sessy”) this quarter. The survey was last administered in 2015 and the results from this new survey will to continue to inform efforts in creating an environment that enhances the student learning experience here at Shoreline.
The survey will be administered in person in about 55 classes from February 6th – March 13th. To generate a representative sample of students, national CCSSE office personnel will select which classes are surveyed by using a stratified random sampling technique. It is anticipated that it will take most if not all of one class period for students to complete the survey.
“I realize it is a great hardship to sacrifice a class period to gather this information, but I believe the CCSSE data are even more relevant now than they have been in the past,” says Alison Stevens, Executive Vice President for Academic and Student Affairs. “The results of the Winter 2015 survey suggest that, compared to other similar schools, we are essentially average in how we engage students. Fortunately for us, we now have a strategic plan designed to move us from average to extraordinary.”
