The  Power Shift Network   is partnering with the   California Student Sustainability Coalition   for Power Shift West Convergence 2016! Join young climate and social justice leaders from all over the West for a weekend of workshops, trainings, speakers, and movement-building. The theme of the convergence:  “Reclaim Today, Transform Tomorrow.”  We know that the face of climate and environmental activism too often doesn’t represent those who are most impacted by pollution, the impact of climate change, and the fossil fuel industry’s greed. In Berkeley, we’ll dig into how we can reclaim and transform our movement to put the stories and struggles of the most impacted communities front and center—starting today. Registration closes at 11:59 PM on Thursday, November 10. Click here for more info about Power Shift West Convergence. Berkeley Students ONLY: special rate   — $5.00  per ticket

Please join us at the inaugural Intersect Conference: October 10, 2015 In response to multiple incidents on campus during the fall 2014 semester, the results of the 2014 Campus Climate Survey and the impact of the spring 2015 Campus Climate Symposium, a partnership between various student serving populations emerged. This group of concerned staff and students came together to address the micro aggressions, prejudices and isms manifesting on campus. Through this day-long conference (followed by a comprehensive curriculum) we hope to examine how intersectionality impacts students, faculty and staff amongst our diverse campus community.  Register Now at   https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ucbic15  For more information please contact   intersectconferenceinfo@gmail.com .

Please join us for the Intersections between Popular Culture, Sexuality and Health Conference on Friday, April 10, 2015 from 1pm to 5pm at room 105, Boalt Hall, UC Berkeley. The goal of this program is to stimulate dialogue across disciplinary lines on issues concerning the intersection of gender, sexuality, race, cultural imagery and health research and policy. Each panel will include scholars from different disciplinary perspectives with the goal of illuminating key issues that could inform current theory and practice addressing sexual health disparities. The panels will address violence against women and HIV/AIDS, which remain subjects of major concern in the field of public health. At the same time, these issues generate various competing cultural narratives as well as scholarship in the humanities and sociology. Much of this discourse struggles with questions of individual autonomy, responsibility and blame. For example, can we question the decisions of survivors of violence wi...
