We have composed a panel of experts who will take part in a roundtable event designed to discuss the experiences of people around the world who do not necessarily identify with any specific nation-state but find themselves still in a complicated situation with respect to belonging.

Dr. Solovyeva will discuss the Sakha people of Siberia. Dr. Cruz will discuss the Chatino people in Oaxaca, Mexico. Dr. Brooks will discuss the Roma people of Europe. Dr. King (UK Anthropology) will serve as moderator. The event will take place as a Zoom Webinar. Click here to join the webinar.

Mr. Thurman will be present for a Q and A to follow. Presented by the Department of Writing Rhetoric and Digital Studies and the Student Activities Board. 

If you have friends and colleagues who might enjoy Dark Frames, and if you have students who might learn more about this important tributary of cinema, please pass this on or consider integrating the film into your classes.  A file of this note and a poster are attached. 

The theatre should afford ample space for social distancing.
