Ninotchka Rosca
Hello all!
Yes, I'm still in orals mode. Apologies for using this blog for announcements. I promise that I'll have more interesting things to contribute after the mayhem. I wanted to let you know that I just received this announcement about a talk by Ninotchka Rosca. Here's the info in case any of you are interested in going.
The Center for Southeast Asia Studies, UC Berkeley presents a lecture
"Labor Export: Institutionalized Trafficking"
Ninotchka Rosca
Writer & co-founder of the GABRIELA network
Trafficking is not simply a criminal activity. For nations and countries, it is an economic strategy -- only it's called by some other name.
Ninotchka Rosca is a contemporary writer, human rights activist and feminist. Her novel, Twice Blessed, earned the 1993 American Book Award for excellence in literature. A political prisoner under the Marcos regime in the Philippines, Rosca is a founder and the first national chair of GABRIELA, an important Philippine-US women's solidarity mass organization.
Talk organized for the Townsend Center's Geballe Research Opportunities for Undergraduates Program (GROUP) Spring 2006 course "Using People: Human Rights and the Transnational Commodification of Women" (Prof. Pheng Cheah, instructor)
Monday, April 10, 2006
4:30 - 6:00 p.m.
Geballe Room, 220 Stephens Hall
Townsend Center for the Humanities, UC Berkeley
This event is free and open to the public.

Yes! I've never seen Ms. Rosca lecture, so I'm definitely going to block off some "study break" time to go to this event.
