On Opting Out? by Pamela Stone: "Noting a phenomenon that may seem to recall a previous era, NY Times recently described women who leave their careers to be full-time mothers as 'opting out'. But, is this the case? Based on a series of interviews with women who returned home after having children, Stone explores the role that external influences have on women's decisions, and suggests that women are not 'opting out' but instead being pushed out of the workplace."
Books are currently available at the Women's Center (306 Alexander Ave) for $5.

Is there a human right to health? If not, should be there be? If so, does that include a right to health care and who should provide that? This joint meeting of the GHWG and the HRWG will feature brief presentations by group members on the traditional status of "health" within international human rights law, on recent efforts to advocate for global health through a human rights framework, and on arguments that have been raised against viewing health (or, at least, health care) as a human right. Come join the discussion!
If you would like to read up before the discussion, we recommend you take a look at the 3 documents that comprise the International Bill of Human Rights (the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights - all available at http://www.unhchr.ch/html/menu6/2/fs2.htm), and two brief fact sheets on health and human rights put out by the World Health Organization (http://www.who.int/hhr/HHR%20linkages.pdf and http://www.who.int/hhr/Right_to_health-factsheet.pdf).

Come see Wild Side, the third movie of the Love=Love LGBT Film Festival.
Wild Side tells the story of Stephanie, a jaded transsexual prostitute who leaves Paris to take care of her dying mother in the country.
For more information about the movie and other movies in the series, see http://www.duke.edu/web/gap/DukeOUT/ComingEvents.html
Sponsored by Duke OUT, DUU, GPSC, Fuqua Pride, Duke Allies, OSAF, Center for French and Francophone Studies, Office of Institutional Equity, Nosh, HRC, Club Steel Blue, the Film/Video/Design program, and the Division of Student Affairs.
Check out http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=9930013724 for more information about this film as well as the DukeOUT social (Free food, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages) to be held before the film.
WILD SIDE (dir. Sébastien Lifshitz, France, 2004, 93 min) tells the story of Stéphanie (played by real-life transsexual Stéphanie Michelini), a jaded transsexual prostitute who leaves Paris to take care of her dying mother (Josiane Storelu) in the country. She brings along her two lovers, a street-hustling Arab boy, Jamel (Yasmine Belmadi), and a Russian ex-soldier named Mikhail (Edouard Nikitine). While Stephanie and her mom come to grips with their troubled past, Mikhail has his own problems dealing with his mother back in Russia, as does Jamel who finds his lifestyle not warmly accepted by his conventional family. This is a film about crossing barriers sexually, personally, and even--to comical effect -- linguistically, as Mikhail does not speak French, so everyone has to communicate in the commonly shared broken English.

This event has been POSTPONED due to rain. Please watch for more details on the new date.
Come out, get your hands dirty, and make new friends as we assist Lakewood Elementary in maintaining their school's garden. The garden is very important to Lakewood as children use the garden to learn about all aspects of the natural world: plant and animal lifecycles, composting, where food comes from, care for the environment, enjoyment of the beauty of flowers. The garden also provides a primary experience for developing literacy and math skills. Activities will include weeding, pruning, and digging...nothing glamourous about the work, but having our assistance will mean the world to the people at Lakeview Elementary. Please RSVP as soon as possible to jar7@duke.edu.
