of women that actively works towards solidarity, leadership, and community
wellness a The Ohio State University. We guide this program, based in the
seven principles: truth, justice, righteousness, reciprocity, balance, harmony
and order. Using these principles, we begin an ongoing journey of increasing
awareness and making conscious choices towards a more successful existence

São Paulo on the Big Screen:
Não Por Acaso / Not By Chance
Director Philippe Barcinski,
2007.
For more information: http://clas.osu.edu/filmSeries.php
Following on the same device as used in Amorros Perros and Crash, Not By Chance uses a car crash to thread two stories together. In a car accident in Sao Paulo, a man and a woman in a car hit a girl and then crash, all three people getting killed. We then follow the lives of the girl's boyfriend and the former partner of the woman in the car. If there is a common thread in the two stories it's difficulties in communication: between the girl killed and her boyfriend and the daughter of the woman killed and her father. This is, however, a very loose thread and the two stories really look as they belong to two different movies.
Not bu Chance is, however, always interesting and very well acted. It does not quite achieve the fluency of the aforementioned films in neatly tying up these stories together but it's a welcome diversion from your usual Hollywood movie.

For more information: http://clas.osu.edu/filmSeries.php
A modern love story set in Sao Paulo, Brazil, South America’s most populated city. Heitor (played by actor Marco Ricca of Romeo and Juliet Get Married) is a writer and professor of literature. Julia (Alice Braga of City of God and Solo Dios sabe) is a theatre student turned veterinarian. A fight over the telephone propels Heitor into a journey through the chaotic city streets to reconcile with Julia. Their personal history unfolds against the backdrop of the city and its people in a series of events representing the struggle between poetry and science. Cinematography portrays the movement of people in a metropolis of 30 million, juxtapositioning the stars above with faces of the individuals that Heitor meets on his journey. The soundtrack enlivens the film with a contrast of classical composers and contemporary artists such as Manu Chao.

Latino/a Studies Minor available at OSU
Latino/a Studies Minor
The minor in Latino/a Studies explores the social, cultural
and historical realities facing Latinos/as residing in the
United States as well as how such realities interface with
those of Central and Latin America and the Hispanophone
Caribbean. The minor attends to all variety of cultural
phenomena as well as social and historical event in the
Americas that inform the shaping of a pan-Latino identity
and experience.
The minor in Latino/a Studies requires 25 credit hours and
draws upon course work in several departments and
colleges. Students must choose one of the 3 focus areas
(Culture and Literature; History; and Social Issues) which
are comprised of a minor core, a focus core course and 15
elective hours. Minor course work may overlap with the
GEC where appropriate.
*Courses marked with an asterisk have variable topics.
Syllabi for these courses need approval from the minor
coordinator to count on the minor.
Choose one focus area to complete the minor:
Culture, Literature and Arts Focus
Students choosing this area will focus their coursework on the
various forms of creative expressions that have emerged from the
U.S. Latina/o community: literature, film, art, dance, theater, music,
comic books, and more. This might also occasion the exploration of
Latina/o cultural phenomena as it interfaces with that arising out of
communities in the Americas generally. Students will explore just
how such Latina/o cultural making and engaging is a means of
creative expression as well as a potential vehicle for social
transformation.
History Focus
This focus area will situate Latina/o history on the border between
U.S. and Latin American history. Students will learn about the
experiences of communities who had been rendered invisible by
canonical histories in the U.S. and Latin America. Moreover, they
will learn new methodologies for historical research and gain a
greater understanding of the relationship between history and
power.
Social Issues Focus
The emphasis of this focus area will be the current issues affecting
the Latina/o population in the U.S. These social issues (that stretch
across the Americas) may include, though are not limited to,
immigration, educational policy, language, labor, voting trends, etc.
Classes will require students to analyze current media reports about
the contemporary state of affairs in the Latina/o community and
place these reports within a broader historical backdrop.

Intergroup Dialogue Course (EDU P&L 270.04)
The Multicultural Center is excited to introduce...
Intergroup Dialogue Course (EDU P&L 270.04)
Intergroup Dialogue (IGD) courses are two-credit courses
designed to bring together students from different social
identity groups in a sustained and facilitated learning environment.
IGD engages students to explore issues of diversity and inequality
and their personal and social responsibility for building a more just
society. This year's topics will include one course on race and the other
on gender.
To enroll in an intergroup dialogue:
Email Nicole Nieto, nieto.12@osu.edu, for an enrollment request form.
You will be notified by Multicultural Center (MCC) staff about the
status of your enrollment request.
Once your request is granted, you will be able to register for the
course.
Intergroup Dialogues are 2-credit courses carefully structured to
explore social group identity, conflict, community, and social justice.
Each intergroup dialogue involves identity groups defined by race,
ethnicity, religion, socioeconomic class, gender, sexual orientation,
or national origin. Each identity group is represented in the dialogue
by a balanced number of student participants, usually 5-8 participants
from each group. Trained facilitators-one from each represented identity
group-encourage dialogue rather than debate. Students examine and discuss
reading materials that address issues and experiences relevant to the groups
in the dialogue, in relation to both the University setting and general
society. Facilitators and participants explore similarities and differences
among and across groups, and strive toward building a multicultural and
democratic community.

International Student Volunteers (ISV)
Amazing Travel Opportunity
International Student Volunteers (ISV) is looking for students from the Ohio State University to travel overseas this summer on its exciting volunteer and adventure programs.
Selected participants will have the opportunity to travel with a group of students from all over the world (18 years and over) on volunteer projects and adventure tours to either Australia, New Zealand, Costa Rica, Ecuador, the Dominican Republic, Thailand, Eastern Europe and South Africa. The standard program lasts for one month but some students elect to travel from two weeks up to three months.

Traveling alongside ISV trained project and tour leaders, students will spend the first two weeks volunteering in real hands on projects, in either social community development (improving the quality of impoverished villages, building houses for refugees, teaching children English etc) or conservation (working with endangered sea turtles, elephants and dolphins, ecosystem rehabilitation, environmental education etc).
The second two weeks will see participants launch into an adrenaline filled cultural and adventure tour of their chosen country, involving such activities as white water rafting, glacier climbing, waterfall rappelling, scuba diving and jungle kayaking.

ISV’s Campus Representative, Rachel Blakeman says the organization is looking for fun, outgoing students to partake in the highly sought after programs.
Jewel Romero from Ohio State University recently participated in the Dominican Republic program: “This trip went above and beyond my highest expectations. The lessons and new outlook on life I’ve gained was worth every penny. With this trip, I was able to visit an entire country and open my eyes as well as my heart. I fell so blessed to have been able to come.”

ISV is a not for profit organization that takes over 4000 students on its life changing programs every year. Its mission statement is “to combine education; conservation and recreation into the most incredible experience of a lifetime, while giving back to the local communities in the countries in which we are traveling.” Because ISV is a not for profit organization, students can offset the cost of the program through tax deductible sponsorship donations from the community.
Some students may also apply to receive academic credit for their participation in the ISV program as there is a strong educational element throughout the entire trip.
More information on the program can also be found at www.isvonline.org
