Reading and Community Discussion with Professor Mary Gray

Out in the Country: Youth, Media, and Queer Visibility in
Rural America
By Mary L. Gray

Reading and Community Discussion at Boxcar Books
Thursday, September 24th
408 E 6th St
8:30pm
Free and open to the public!
Sponsored by BloomingOUT on WFHB

From Wal-Mart drag parties to renegade Homemaker’s Clubs, Out in the Country offers an unprecedented contemporary account of what it’s like for  young people who forego or never make it to the BIG CITY. Drawing on the author's experiences working for nearly 2 years in rural parts of Kentucky and in small towns along its borders, the book maps out a fascinating and often surprising look at the contours of gay life and the politics of visibility in rural communities.

For the discussion, Mary will draw on specific stories of rural LGBTQ youth, communities, and advocates from her research to offer examples of rural LGBT organizing and the lessons they hold for campus, statewide, and national advocacy more broadly.

4th Annual ATA Film & Video Festival

Artists' Television Access Film & Video Festival announces its 2009 program.

ATA celebrates original, independent and underground film & video with the 4th ATA Film & Video Festival on October 21, 22 & 23, 2009.

On Wednesday, October 21, the ATA Film Festival begins with a free workshop on experimental film exhibition and distribution, hosted by local experimental filmmakers and distributors. Visit http://festival.atasite.org/2009 to sign-up for this unique event.

On Thursday and Friday, October 22 & 23, ATA will screen two programs of short works: "Specters & Machines" and "Stories we tell ourselves." Both programs offer unique representations of the myriad facets of life and feature the work of local talents including Paul Clipson, Kerry Laitala, and Tommy Becker, and national and international filmmakers such as Maarit Suomi-Väänänen, Chris Kennedy, Laida Lertxundi and Martha Colburn.

The screenings will be followed by musical performances and the announcement of ATA Audience Awards.

In addition, two installations by local artists will be presented in ATA's gallery: "Gaze," by Mary Franck, exploring new possibilities of speculation through digital technology, and "Trace," an Intervention by Rebecca Najdowski, focusing on thresholds of humankind and the natural world.

And finally, the ATA Window will project a selection of experimental shorts and innovative animations during the month of October. Pieces range from Jeejung Kim's sinister, ocular - --opened eye, closed i - i closed, eye opened-- - to Anna Geyer's glorious Ich bin ein junger Hupfer, a hand-manipulated color study accompanied by birdsong and yodeling.

ATA is at 992 Valencia at 21st Street. Doors open at 7pm every night. Screenings start at 7:30pm. Tickets are $7-$10.

Hutton Honors College Ethics Evening on Tuesday, Sept. 15!

Undergraduate Program: Debating REAL-WORLD ETHICAL Issues

►Tuesday, Sept. 15, 7:15-9:30 p.m.
►Hutton Honors College (811 E. Seventh St.)
►SIGN-UP REQUIRED (See below for info on how to sign up and note that participants must be able to attend for the full length of the program.)

Does the mother of a mentally handicapped teenager have the right to have her daughter sterilized because the youngster does not have the capacity to care for a child or the competency to make a fully informed reproductive decision on her own? Should the federal Bureau of Prisons be permitted to limit the religious books available to prisoners as a means to quell terrorist activities? Is the use of killer robots in armed combat justifiable, even if their designers cannot prevent them causing civilian casualties? With some U.S. states allowing gay marriage, what are the justifications for prohibiting polygamy, which some argue is a free exercise of religion?

These and other tough ethical questions come from current, real-world situations. Do you have answers? Can you persuade others that you are right and your arguments relevant? At this program, such ethical dilemmas will be explored, and debated, with the guidance of students from (and alumni of) IU’s National Champion Ethics Bowl Team. Also participating will be team faculty advisor SANDY SHAPSHAY of the philosophy department and team sponsor RICHARD MILLER, director of the Poynter Center for the Study of Ethics and American Institutions and a member of the religious studies faculty.

►SIGN-UP INFO: If you are interested in attending this event, please email Hannah Dubina at the Hutton Honors College (hdubina@indiana.edu), indicating you wish to sign up for the ethics evening and including your name, e-mail address, year in school, and field(s) of study.
