Career Discovery Series: Environment and Sustainability Career Panel

The Career Discovery Series is a program consisting of various career panels, which aim to educate students on the different career possibilities that they might consider.
Each panelist will discuss their current position, career path, and any tips and hints for students wanting to get into that career field. This is a great opportunity for students to learn from professionals who have been in their shoes before.

Part II: Dancing the Diaspora: Exploring the African Diaspora is a Movement
                                           

This is Part II of the Contemplative Reflections Upon Race: Time to Move workshop. You are encouraged to attend both Part I and II, though you are welcome to attend either one on its own. 

This workshop allows us to engage with traditional and cultural movement practices such as West African dance, Latin dance, Social dance, and Hiphop as a global art form. The Africanist aesthetic is found throughout American and non-American dance forms, this workshop allows us to embody and identify them in a way that builds community, develops identity, and creates self-awareness about the human experience. The workshop is for all levels of experience and all movers, disabled and nondisabled participants are welcome. It is an invitation to the community to connect in a different way.

Hors d’oeuvres will be provided. 

Directions to the workshop can be found in the interactive map located here. From the Mesa Parking Structure, walk towards University Drive (i.e., away from the Bren Events Center). The Mesa Office Building will be on your left, and is attached to the Mesa Parking Structure.”

Rebooting U.S. Global Internet Policy for Democracy and Human Rights


How should American policy promote and protect internet freedom? Can human rights provide a framework for constraining the behavior of technology companies? What would a ‘reboot’ of U.S. internet policy look like after Trump?

Come to a lecture and discussion with Rebecca MacKinnon, one of the leading voices for human rights online. MacKinnon, a fellow with the UC National Center for Free Speech and Civic Engagement, is the founder and director of Ranking Digital Rights and a co-founder of Global Voices. Her 2012 book, Consent of the Networked: The Worldwide Struggle for Internet Freedom, was one of the first to address the way in which governments were beginning to use the internet to interfere with fundamental rights. She serves on the board of the Committee to Protect Journalists and was a founding member of the Global Network Initiative. Rebecca, fluent in Mandarin Chinese, was CNN’s Beijing bureau chief from 1998-2001 and Japan bureau chief from 2001-2003. She has held fellowships at the New America Foundation, Harvard University’s Berkman Center for Internet and Society, the Open Society Foundation, and Princeton’s Center for Information Technology Policy.
