The ACLU of KY is bringing their statewide “I Am a Kentuckian” tour to campus on March 30 at 4 p.m. in GRH Auditorium. It is our initiative to engage in dialogue on undocumented immigrant issues, and to put real faces with the issue. The featured speakers for WKU’s stop are English Department alumnus Luiggi Carlin and his sister Valeria who will talk about what it’s like to live in the shadow of potential deportation, have no driver’s licence, no financial aid access, etc. It will be a larger human rights discussion as well.
- Location: Cherry Hall 125
- Time: 7:00pm
Speakers: Dr. Grace Hunt (Philosophy) and Dr. Jerod Ra'Del Hollyfield (English/Film)
The Tournées Festival returns to WKU this March with a lineup of 2013-2014's most critically acclaimed French films that deal with issues of migrancy, terrorism, and postcolonial identity. If your classes this semester have included discussion of the Charlie Hebdo attacks or ISIS in Europe, this event will hopefully extend that dialogue through narrative and documentary film.
Post-screening discussion each evening will be hosted by a panel of WKU professors. This year, the festival will also feature speakers from the International Center of Kentucky. All films begin at 7:00 p.m. in Cherry Hall 125 and are subtitled in English. The event is swipeable.
