Latin American Studies Fall Documentary Film Festival: Amazon Journal
The Center of Latin American Studies invites you to the first event of its Fall Documentary Film Festival:
Amazon Journal
Wednesday, October 28- 7:00pm, Wescoe Hall Room 4012
Brief introduction to the film by KU professor of Environmental
Studies and Geography, Chris Brown.
"60 min., 1995. Going beyond the strict documentation of social and political events, Geoffrey O'Connor's Amazon Journal offers a critical, first person analysis of the complex web of misunderstanding that has distanced semi-isolated indigenous societies and Western European populations for centuries.
Some of the other landmark stories woven through this documentary include the impact of a gold rush and ensuing malaria epidemic on the Yanomami Indians between 1987 and 1990, the historic gathering of Indigenous People at Altamira in 1989, Sting's quest to "save the rain
forest," the assassination of Chico Mendes, the demarcation of Kayapo lands, the UN's "Earth Summit" in 1992, and the events surrounding the massacre of Yanomami Indians in 1993. The result is a unique, densely crafted personnel essay exploring a dimension of the rain forest story previously untouched by any other filmmaker."
Additional films this semester:
11/4- Señorita Extraviada- A film tracing the story of the "Women of Juarez" and the murders along the U.S.-Mexico border.
11/11- Zapatista- A look at the EZLN rebellion in Chiapas following the implementation of NAFTA in 1994.
11/18- Cowboy del Amor- A documentary comedy about "Cowboy Cupid" Ivan Thompson as he finds Mexican brides for disillusioned men searching for the perfect wife.

Welcoming Party at Cielito Lindo
We hope that your summers have been as relaxing and/or as productive as you intended them to be. The new semester is upon us, and the department together with GRASP invite you to a get-together to meet our new graduate students and instructors:
Cielito Lindo Restaurant in downtown Lawrence (815 New Hampshire Street)
Tuesday, August 18
5:00 p.m.
This year there will not be a sponsored lunch prior the mandatory meeting earlier in the day, and we thought that this would be a nice way for you to interact with your new colleagues before the beginning-of-semester rush. Faculty is also being invited to join us. The Department will provide appetizers, and you are welcome to purchase the beverages of your choice.
We hope to see you there!

Nuevo año de GRASP
Hola colegas,
Como ustedes saben, el final del semestre primaveral significa que se buscan los nuevos representantes de GRASP para el próximo año. Todo el mundo está muy bienvenido a expresar su interés, y esperamos escuchar de muchas personas inclinadas a participar. El grupo se compone de cuatro personas: el presidente, el vicepresidente, el tesorero y el secretario. Estas personas dividen los deberes de GRASP entre sí a lo largo del año. Tales deberes pueden incluir:
• Asistir a las reuniones mensuales de los profesorados (una persona se presencia en cada reunión)
• Mantener los blogs de GRASP con información pertinente al Departamento y a los estudiantes graduados.
• Informarles a los estudiantes sobre charlas y eventos y animarles a asistir a tales actividades.
• Organizar el Stop Day Colloquium con los Profesores Bayliss y Rivera.
• Colaborar con el Spanish Club de los undergrads en promover Café Castellano (grupo de conversación).
• Participar con el Departamento en varias actividades, tal como la fiesta del invierno.
• Asistir a las reuniones mensuales de la Graduate Professional Association.
• Posibilidades para el próximo año: invitar a un visitante para dar una ponencia; continuar la producción de una constitución del grupo.
No se requieren todas las antemencionadas responsabilidades ni se limitan a ellas. GRASP es lo que los estudiantes graduados quieren que sea. Los oficiales pueden expandir el papel del grupo o pueden minimizarlo. La dinámica del grupo depende de sus participantes y las necesidades del Departamento y sus estudiantes.
Además de ser una oportunidad para conocer al fondo el funcionamiento de nuestro Departamento, también es una responsabilidad respetable para poner en el CV. De una perspectiva personal, como la presidenta yo he disfrutado mucho del último año por las relaciones que establecí, tanto con los profesores como con los estudiantes graduados, que no habría existido sin mi involucramiento en GRASP. Además, agradezco mucho la participación de ustedes en muchas actividades, tal como Café Castellano y el Stop Day Colloquium.
En fin, si le interesa participar en GRASP, responda a este anuncio. Por favor, díganos cuál posición más le interesa. Recuerde que los nuevos oficiales van a tener el apoyo de muchas personas: todos los miembros anteriores de GRASP; el consejero de GRASP (probablemente Profesor Pérez); los otros profesores del Departamento; y Rhonda Cook, la secretaria de los estudiantes graduados.
Muchas gracias por su tiempo y por la oportunidad de servirles como los miembros de GRASP este año. Suerte con lo que queda del semestre.
-Tammy, Liz, Lucia y María
