SUMMARY:Latin American Film Festival screening: Segredos do Putumayo
DESCRIPTION:In our current global situation of climate change and environmental catastrophe\, many environmental humanities scholars are turning to indigenous ontologies to seek out answers and guidance. The five movies curated for the festival showcase narratives from indigenous communities from several Latin American countries and portray their struggles and strategies of survival. With the festival\, we hope to honor their voices by showcasing their work to our Rutgers community. \n \nThe 2023 Latin American Film Festival screening is organized by Mentoring for Social Justice and Community-Building Project participants Ariela Parisi\, Rachel Perez\, Celín Hidalgo\, and Ivy Lopez-Flores. \nQuestions?

His work in Africa\, Brazil\, and his native Ireland still has repercussions today. \nIn 1910\, the British Consul General in Rio de Janeiro\, Roger Casement\, undertook an investigation into allegations of crimes against indigenous communities committed by the British-registered Peruvian Amazon Company. Narrated from his journals\, Secrets from Putumayo recounts the horrific treatment he uncovered there: an industrial-extractive system based on killings and slave labor in the midst of the Amazon rainforest\, “a real green hell.” Shocked by his discoveries\, and despite a heavy personal toll\, Casement was determined to bring awareness to the British of their own colonial atrocities by revealing the appalling human cost of the rubber industry. Blending unflinching passages from his journal (powerfully narrated by Stephen Rea) with unforgettable archival images\, the film makes space for the Indigenous relatives of the survivors to share the oral stories passed down by the family members\, who also recount current struggles for self-determination against today’s multinational corporations\, just as fixated on extracting the resources of the Amazon. Casement’s pursuit of justice continued when he returned to his native Ireland where he became an active Irish nationalist\, to be executed for treason during World War I by the British government. \nCheck out the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8j6vf_B2as \n— \nThis film festival is possible thanks to the sponsorship and collaboration of:  Center for Latino Arts and Culture\, Cinema Studies\, Center for Latin American Studies (Indigenous Studies Group)\, Spanish and Portuguese Department\, History Department\, Rutgers Union of Cuban American Students  \nThis festival was awarded a grant by PRAGDA \nEvent Organizers: \nRachel Perez is a junior at the school of Arts and Sciences double majoring in philosophy and Spanish with a minor in Women and Gender Studies.

SUMMARY:Anneliese Singh talk: Mentoring for Social Justice in Higher Education
DESCRIPTION:Mentoring for Social Justice and Community-Building in Higher Education \nwith Anneliese Singh\, PhD\, LPC\, Chief Diversity Officer at Tulane University \nMarch 30\, 12-2pm ET\, Zoom \nRegister at: https://go.rutgers.edu/anneliesesingh \n \nTalk Description\nMentoring of students in higher education often centers students’ academic and career development without a sufficient power analysis to understand how structural issues and social identities shape the mentoring relationship itself. In this talk\, Anneliese Singh will apply sociocultural and critical race theories to mentoring\, guiding participants through a deconstruction of the ideas and beliefs that shape our understandings of mentoring and moving toward an analysis of the structural forces that inform mentoring relationships\, all in service of cultivating a more just and power-conscious mentoring practice. Participants will learn power-conscious mentoring strategies that can be implemented across disciplinary areas to support undergraduate and graduate students’ personal\, professional\, and academic thriving. Anneliese will intersperse breakout rooms and discussion prompts throughout the talk\, offering participants an active space to reflect and make connections to their own mentoring practice with students.  \nAbout Anneliese Singh\nAnneliese Singh\, PhD\, LPC (she/they) is a Professor and Associate Provost for Faculty Development and Diversity/Chief Diversity Officer at Tulane University. Her scholarship and community organizing explores racial healing and racial justice\, as well as the resilience\, trauma\, and identity development experiences of queer and trans people\, with a focus on young people and BIPOC people. Anneliese is the author of The Racial Healing Handbook: Practical Activities to Help You Challenge Privilege\, Confront Systemic Racism\, and Engage in Collective Healing and The Queer and Trans Resilience Workbook. Anneliese is co-founder of the Georgia Safe Schools Coalition and the Trans Resilience Project. Dr. Singh is @anneliesesingh on Twitter and Instagram\, and her website is www.anneliesesingh.com. \n  \n~Event Co-sponsored by: School of Graduate Studies\, Douglass Residential College\, the Division of Diversity\, Inclusion\, and Community Engagement\, the School of Social Work\, the School of Arts & Sciences\, the School of Engineering\, the School of Environmental & Biological Sciences\, Edward J.

Immersing us in its characters’ customs and beliefs\, Ixcanul chronicles with unblinking realism\, a disappearing tradition and a disappearing people. \nMaria\, a 17-year-old Mayan girl\, lives and works with her parents on a coffee plantation in the foothills of an active volcano in Guatemala. \nAn arranged marriage awaits her: her parents have promised her to Ignacio\, the plantation overseer. But Maria doesn’t sit back and accept her destiny. \nPepe\, a young coffee cutter who plans to migrate to the USA becomes her possible way out. Maria seduces Pepe in order to run away with him\, but after promises and clandestine meetings\, Pepe takes off\, leaving her pregnant\, alone and in disgrace. There’s no time to lose for Maria’s mother\, who thinks abortion is the only solution. Yet despite her mother’s ancestral knowledge\, the baby remains\, “destined to live.” \nBut destiny has more in store for Maria: a snakebite forces them to leave immediately in search of a hospital. The modern world Maria has so dreamt about will save her life\, but at what price… \nCheck out the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tblugtW4z4E&t=2s \n— \nThis film festival is possible thanks to the sponsorship and collaboration of:  Center for Latino Arts and Culture\, Cinema Studies\, Center for Latin American Studies (Indigenous Studies Group)\, Spanish and Portuguese Department\, History Department\, Rutgers Union of Cuban American Students  \nThis festival was awarded a grant by PRAGDA \nEvent Organizers: \nRachel Perez is a junior at the school of Arts and Sciences double majoring in philosophy and Spanish with a minor in Women and Gender Studies.
