·       César Chávez Week: This five-day event will be from Monday, March 26th through Friday, March 30th, and will be dedicated to recognizing the contributions of César Chávez, Dolores Huerta, documented/undocumented/Filipino farm workers, the QTPOC community, and women who made the United Farm Workers movement possible. Hopefully after discussing these topics, we can spark further conversations about how the movement should be framed and what it means for today's farm workers.

Monday [3/26] A Conversation About the United Farm Workers Movement, 12:00PM-2:00PM, César Chávez, Room 205
Attendees will have the opportunity to have conversations with special guests about César Chávez, Dolores Huerta, documented/undocumented/Filipino farm workers, the QTPOC community, and women who made the United Farm Workers movement possible.  Food will be provided.

Tuesday [3/27] Field Day (Interactive Activities), 12:00PM-2:00PM, César Chávez, Room 205. Food will be provided.
            -  Planting and Pesticides
-  Local Organizers and Artists
-  Decolonizing Our Diet (making food)
-  Painting with Melo Dominguez
Wednesday [3/28] Women of the Movement, 6:30PM-8:30PM, Women's Resource Center, 4th Floor of the Student Union. Join FORCE and the Guerrero Student Center for a special Sip N' Bitch in honor of César Chávez Week & Women's Herstory Month as we screen DOLORES.  Dolores Huerta is among the most important, yet least known, activists in American history. An equal partner in co-founding the first farm workers unions with César Chávez, her enormous contributions have gone largely unrecognized. Dolores tirelessly led the fight for racial and labor justice alongside Chavez, becoming one of the most defiant feminists of the twentieth century-and she continues the fight to this day, at 87. With intimate and unprecedented access to this intensely private mother to eleven, the film reveals the raw, personal stakes involved in committing one's life to social change. Food will be provided.

Thursday [3/29] Filipino Farm Workers of the Movement, 4:00PM-5:00PM, Nugent, Room 205. APASA Faculty Fellow Celeste Gonzalez de Bustamante will share her story, and the history/relationships of Filipino Farm Workers involved in the United Farm Workers movement. Dr. Gonzalez will discuss how her own family history is different than much of what is commonly associated with Filipino Americans' early experience in the U.S. Food will be provided.

Friday [3/30] The Changing Tucson Landscape: How Can We Preserve Culture and History, 12:00PM-1:00PM, César Chávez, Room 205. Students for Sustainability's Environmental Social Justice Committee, alongside members of the Tucson community, will hold a panel on gentrification, designed to engage students to implement change that addresses the socially unjust impacts of climate on already marginalized populations within the Tucson community. Food will be provided.

·       Join the Women's Resource Center for Women's History Month as we host Unceded Voices! The WRC will be celebrating Women's History Month with the following events: Decolonization & Art workshop, March 28, noon - 1:00 PM in the WRC (SUMC 4th Floor) and Intro to Wheat Pasting, March 28, 1:00 - 3:00 PM in Wassaja Lounge, Room 203 of Nugent Building.

·        Dissidentity: Portraying Labels to Break Them, Wednesday, April 4, 12:00 PM, SUMC Agave Room.  This presentation by visiting artist 2Fik deals with art practice that questions identity, image and perceptions. 2Fik will explain his process in using his falsely caricatural characters in order to break the mold of prejudice and perceptions. Here, his approach of the Dissidence of Identity, or "Dissidentity," shatters the human personality into as many fragments and pieces as experiences, cultures, knowledge, emotions, and views expressed in a lifetime. A person is more complex that they look...

·        Writing Program Workshop, Perserverative Design: On Disability and Multimodal Pedagogy, led by Melanie Yergeau, April 5, 12:00 - 1:30, Modern Languages 453.  In this workshop, we will think about the ways in which accessibility can serve as a guiding process in the design of our class discussions, assignments, and curricula. We will pay particular attention to multimodal composing, and the ways in which composing in digital or multi-sensory forms might enhance or limit broader student participation. In many ways, the interdisciplinary field of disability studies will serve as a guiding frame for our discussions. For example, how might we think about closed captioning - both as a text and as a composing practice - in classroom contexts? In what ways might trigger warnings, or other affective forms of descriptive writing, provide broader opportunities for discussion and analysis across discipline? How might a turn to accessibility foster campus interest in social justice and community involvement?  Seating capacity is limited in both rooms, especially for the sake of accessibility. Please RSVP to Sue Kroeger (suek at email.arizona.edu<mailto:suek at email.arizona.edu>) or Dev Bose (bose at email.arizona.edu<mailto:bose at email.arizona.edu>) by April 2 if planning on attending this event. Refreshments will be served.

·       Reading Group, April 6, 12:00 - 1:30, Education Building room 437.  In this reading group, we will read and discuss a chapter from Melanie Yergeau's latest book, Authoring Autism<https://www.dukeupress.edu/authoring-autism> with the author. Join us for a rich discussion about disability rhetoric and disability studies. Reading attached.  Please RSVP to Sue Kroeger (suek at email.arizona.edu<mailto:suek at email.arizona.edu>) or Dev Bose (bose at email.arizona.edu<mailto:bose at email.arizona.edu>) by April 2 if planning on attending this event. Refreshments will be served.
