Junior’s obsession with straightening his hair elicits a tidal wave of homophobic panic in his mother. She finds it increasingly difficult to tolerate Junior’s personality and tries to induce him into “macho” ways, convinced his obsessions are in fact signs of his undefined sexuality.</p> <p>Pelo Malo is a Venezuelan film that addresses race, intolerance, hair and sexuality in Latin America. 93 minutes.

A critical aspect of the undocumented student movement has been to create new spaces of learning and to broaden people’s ideas about who can be a teacher, event organizers reported in a media release. From on-campus DACA clinics to Cash for College nights at high schools, undocumented students are teaching people how to navigate education and immigration policies, often to increase access to higher education for other unauthorized youth.</p> <p>This talk explores how undocumented students use public pedagogy to change people’s relationships to learning and education and to challenge the borders of higher education. Dr. Nájera is Associate Professor of Ethnic Studies at UC Riverside.<em> </em></p> <p><em>Visit <a href="http://mcc.sa.ucsb.edu/Calendar/index.aspx" target="_blank">http://mcc.sa.ucsb.edu/Calendar/index.aspx</a> for more information.</em></p> ]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title>UCSB Multicultural Center to present film screening of ‘Cesar’s Last Fast’ on April 29</title> <link>https://amigos805.com/ucsb-multicultural-center-to-present-film-screening-of-cesars-last-fast-on-april-29/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Amigos805.com]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Sun, 26 Apr 2015 14:00:07 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Cultural]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Education]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Entertainment]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Events]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Local]]></category> <category><![CDATA[News]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Politics]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Cesar Chavez]]></category> <category><![CDATA[fast]]></category> <category><![CDATA[UCSB Multicultural Center]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://amigos805.com/?p=22827</guid> <description><![CDATA[SANTA BARBARA — The UCSB Multicultural Center will present the film screening of “Cesar’s Last Fast” at 6 p.m. Wednesday, April 29 at the MCC Theater.
