Summer Session A: Ethnic Studies 144AC- "Racism and the U.S Law: Historical Treatment of Peoples of Color"- Announcement
Ethnic Studies 144AC - "Racism and the U.S. Law: Historical Treatment of Peoples of Color"
Monday/Wednesday, 5-9pm, 213 Wheeler Hall
Session A: May 28-July 3
CCN: 43890
"Learn about the evolution of American legal treatment of race from the colonial era to the Obama era! Earn your American Cultures requirement while learning about the law from a civil rights attorney with a Ph.D. in ethnic studies! Do you wonder what the talking heads mean when they say that America is "Post-Racial"? We will examine this concept critically in the context of the history of the complex relationship between legal/juridicial structures and racial formation in the United States. We will consider how legal processes are interrelated with discourses and practices about race and rights in the U.S. In order to unravel the DNA of this relationship, we will investigate the formation of citizenship rights; education access; and police and war powers amongst other contexts.

CED Alum Documentary Screening: If You Build It (May 28th)
Come see a documentary about the work of CED young alum, Emily Pilloton!
Event details: http://ifyoubuildit.eventbrite.com/
And a trailer: http://vimeo.com/51710235 (password is "bertie")
Join us for a sneak peek screening of If You Build It, a full-length documentary that chronicles one year in our Studio H design/build high school program. Made by acclaimed filmmakers Patrick Creadon and Christine O'Malley, along with executive producer Neal Baer, If You Build It tells the stories of 13 students from Bertie County, North Carolina, who dreamed up a beautiful solution that would change the face of their hometown, then went out and built all 2,000 square feet of it. As their instructors, we were honored to work with them and lead them along the journey. The story exemplifies the power of hands-on education, the raw brilliance of youth, and the impact a few budding creative minds can have on the future of a community.
Come see the film before it is widely released, meet some of our current Studio H students from REALM Charter School, enter an awesome raffle, and learn more about how design and hands-on building can transform education for youth (including information about our new program, Studio G, a summer building camp for girls ages 9-12).
**ALL PROCEEDS WILL HELP FUND BUILDING MATERIALS FOR THE ONGOING STUDIO H PROGRAM, now housed at REALM Charter School in Berkeley.
Doors open: 6:30pm (arrive early for good seats + raffle ticket purchases!)
Film begins: 7:00pm
RAFFLE ITEMS!
Buy raffle tickets at the door for $5 each or 5 for $20. We'll have a few great items including projects made by Studio H students and other builder-maker-designer-type gifts! For a great value, buy a VIP ticket, which includes 10 raffle tickets. Drawing will take place after the film screening.
About Studio H
Studio H is a public high school "design/build" curriculum that sparks community development through real-world, built projects. Originally launched in rural Bertie County, North Carolina, Studio H is now based at REALM Charter School in Berkeley, CA. Studio H is the cornerstone educational initiative of the nonprofit Project H Design.
By learning through a design sensibility, applied core subjects, and industry-relevant construction skills, students develop the creative capital, critical thinking, and citizenship necessary for their own success and for the future of their communities.
Over the course of one semester, students earn high school credit and have the opportunity to design, prototype, and build a full-scale community project. Our students have designed and built some crazy chicken coops for families in need, and a 2,000-square-foot farmers market pavilion.
Studio H is a different kind of classroom. We design, build, and transform.
