CODAC sponsors

diversity war workshop
Members of the University community have held a wide sampling of events relating to the war in Iraq, but tonight, the University Center on Diversity and Community hopes to offer a fresh way of looking at the broader context of how the war impacts people’s lives and society as a whole.
CODAC is sponsoring “Local Faces, Global Fates,” a workshop dealing with diversity and the war on terrorism, today at 7 p.m. in the Gerlinger Lounge.
Session topics will include media representation of Arabic people, different impacts of war on American people of color, recreating places of community and the case of Marine Lance Cpl. Stephen Funk — a multi-ethnic gay man who is the first known objector to the war.
Session speakers include journalism Associate Professor Debra Merskin, law Associate Professor Steve Bender and ethnic studies Professor Nerissa Balce.
The event is free. For information, call 346-3212.
