UBC’s Critical Studies in Sexuality Program presents Susan Stryker (internationally recognized scholar of sexuality and gender) presents her movie “Screaming Queens”.

March 26th @ 4pm
BUCH A 205, UBC Point Grey Campus

On a hot summer’s night in 1966 in the city’s Tenderloin district, a group of transgendered women and gay street-hustlers fought back for the first time in history against everyday police harassment. This was a dramatic turning point for the transgendered community and the beginning of a new human rights struggle that continues to this day.

Come, see the move, talk with Susan!

student activism, UBC

Students for a Democratic Society, UBC is hosting
a “Resisting the University” conference March
3-7. Resisting the University is about resisting
the commodification and corporatization of
education, with an anti-militarization,
anti-gentrification and direct-action bent. Our
conference features many UBC professors, local
community activists and students. Our two
keynotes are: David Noble from York University
(Monday 12-2 a.m.) and Denis Rancourt from the
University of Ottawa (Friday, 3-5 p.m.). The
entire conference schedule is attached and also
available on our website
http://www.sdsubc.ca or facebook
group
http://ubc.facebook.com/event.php?eid=20667840135.

If you are interested in learning more about
issues that aren’t addressed in the classroom but
pertain to you as students and members of
society, this week of resistance is for you!
