SUMMARY:Workshop of Feminist Methodologies in Communication and Development
DESCRIPTION:In research that aims to address issues of social change and influence policy\, can we conceive of a particular method that can further ’empower’ some of the communities that we engage with? In the current context where the use of mixed methods approach has become more popular\, can we still talk about ‘feminist research methods\,’ or a particular methodology praxis for engaging with research which aims to tackle issues of social injustice? \nThese are just some of the questions that the workshop lead by Carolina Matos\, Ph.D.\, visiting associate professor in Global Communication and senior lecturer in Media and Sociology from City\, University of London\, engages with. Funded by the Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF)\, the project\, Gender\, communications and reproductive health in international development\, made use of a mixed methods approach to examine the use of communications strategically by 52 health and feminist NGOs from both the north and the south\, from the U.S. to Europe\, Latin America\, and South Asia. \nThe workshop centers specifically on the focus groups findings with a group of women from low-income backgrounds in the state of Campinas\, Sao Paulo Brazil\, which was conducted in partnership with the NGO Reprolatina during the summer of 2021. Designed for graduate students\, Ph.D.s\, and early career researchers\, this workshop will be followed by a hands-on activity on methodology application to one’s own research\, as well as critical thinking on methodology and feminist perspectives on qualitative and quantitative research\, use of interviews\, ethnography\, and focus groups.

SUMMARY:The Sight & Sound Top Ten: 'Beau Travail'
DESCRIPTION:The Cosford Cinema is proud to present a screening series of the top 10 films of the 2022 Sight & Sound Top 100 Poll: The Greatest Films of All Time. \nBEAU TRAVAIL | YEAR: 1999 | DIRECTOR: Claire Denis | 4K DCP projection | RUNNING TIME: 92 minutes | RATED: Unrated (adult themes) | In French with English subtitles \nWith her ravishingly sensual take on Herman Melville’s “Billy Budd\,” Claire Denis firmly established herself as one of the great visual tone poets of our time. Amid the azure waters and sunbaked desert landscapes of Djibouti\, a French Foreign Legion sergeant (Denis Lavant) sows the seeds of his own ruin as his obsession with a striking young recruit (Grégoire Colin) plays out to the thunderous\, operatic strains of Benjamin Britten. Denis and cinematographer Agnès Godard fold military and masculine codes of honor\, colonialism’s legacy\, destructive jealousy\, and repressed desire into shimmering\, hypnotic images that ultimately explode in one of the most startling and unforgettable endings in all of modern cinema. \nAdmission is $5 for the general public\, free to UM students with Cane Card (use code UMSTUDENT at checkout).

SUMMARY:'Evil Dead Rise' Free Preview Screening
DESCRIPTION:Come catch a free sneak preview of “Evil Dead Rise” at the Cosford Cinema at 7:30 p.m. Monday April 10! \nEVIL DEAD RISE | 4K DCP | writer-director: Lee Cronin | RUNNING TIME: 1H 37M | RATED R for strong bloody horror violence and gore\, and some language. \nMoving the action out of the woods and into the city\, “Evil Dead Rise” tells a twisted tale of two estranged sisters\, played by Sutherland and Sullivan\, whose reunion is cut short by the rise of flesh possessing demons\, thrusting them into a primal battle for survival as they face the most nightmarish version of family imaginable. \nAdmission is FREE\, but registration required at link. \n“Yes\, “Evil Dead Rise” is the most “Evil Dead” movie\, from the mind-melting body horror to the outrageous creature design to the darkly comedic spring in its step. Here’s a movie that invites you to treat the decimation of a family unit by demonic forces like a big ol’ party. There is a select portion of the human population who will find that reprehensible. The rest of us freaks can just crack open the cursed book\, read the cursed words\, and enjoy the cursed ride.” — Jacob Hall\, Slashfilm.

SUMMARY:How Women and Health NGOs Use Communications Strategically to Advocate for Gender Equality and Reproductive Health
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for “How women and health NGOs use communications strategically to advocate for gender equality and reproductive health” to mark the launch of Carolina Matos’\, Ph.D.\, book “Gender\, communications and reproductive health in international development\,” which presents the research findings of a funded Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF) project. \nPanelists include Karin Wilkins\, dean of the School of Communication\, Professors Suzanne Clibsy (University of Coventry\, UK) and Rosalind Gill (City\, University of London)\, and the CEO of NGO Reprolatina\, Margarita Díaz. \nA hybrid event\, it will be attended by NGO practitioners and academics and students from across the world. \nPanel description: To this day\, women globally are subjected to forms of control over their bodies\, and their ability to exercise their reproductive rights in particular is still constrained. Amid a rise of challenges to the advancement of women’s rights\, including the recent overturning of Roe v. Wade in the United States\, sexual and reproductive health rights (SRHR) are at the forefront of conversations about the advancement of gender equality. \nThis panel with various scholars has been set up as part of a discussion to launch Matos’ forthcoming book\, “Gender\, communications and reproductive health in international development” by the Canadian university publisher McGill Queen University Press\, which will be published in June 2023. Matos will provide a condensed examination of the research findings and core theoretical frameworks of the work\, arguing over the need to deconstruct discourses around SRHR under challenging times and concluding that NGOs need better communication strategies and practices in their advocacy communication efforts.  \nThis event will take place at the School of Communication in room 1021 and virtually. \nPlease register via the following Eventbrite links. \nEventbrite link for virtual event: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/595952508997 \nEventbrite link for in-person event: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/597921979737 \nZoom link for Virtual event: https://miami.zoom.us/j/95620857877?pwd=UklYUDQvR0ozSnJkc3d2bVVMWC83Zz09

SUMMARY:Watching Movies with Gloria Estefan: 'Young Frankenstein' (1974)
DESCRIPTION:Join the iconic music superstar Gloria Estefan and Bill Cosford Cinema manager\, Rene Rodriguez\, for a screening of Mel Brooks’ uproarious 1974 comedy “Young Frankenstein\,” followed by a Q&A in-person discussion about Estefan’s love for movies. \nEstefan is a Grammy award-winning singer\, actress\, songwriter\, author of two New York Times best-selling children’s books\, philanthropist and humanitarian. She is considered one of the world’s most recognizable and beloved performers and the most successful Latin crossover artist in music history\, per Billboard Magazine. \nHaving sold over 100 million records worldwide\, Estefan has garnered eight Grammy Awards and an Oscar nomination for her performance of the song “Music Of My Heart.” She has received an American Music Award for Lifetime Achievement\, the Gershwin Prize for Popular Song\, and was inducted into the Latin Songwriters Hall of Fame. \nIn 2015\, President Obama honored Emilio & Gloria Estefan with the Presidential Medal of Freedom\, the Nation’s highest civilian honor\, presented to individuals who have made meritorious contributions to the United States\, to world peace\, and cultural endeavors. In 2017\, Gloria was the first Cuban-American singer-songwriter to receive The Kennedy Center Honors. \nShe is the founder of the Gloria Estefan Foundation whose mission is to support charitable programs for disadvantaged children and empower young people through education and opportunity. The Foundation also supports spinal cord research through the Miami Project to Cure Paralysis. \nIn June\, Estefan became the first Latina in history to be inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. \nYOUNG FRANKENSTEIN (1974) | d. Mel Brooks | With: Gene Wilder\, Peter Boyle\, Marty Feldman\, Madeline Kahn\, Cloris Leachman\, Gene Hackman. | Running time: 1H 46M | RATED PG \nWriter-director Mel Brooks had already enjoyed one smash hit in 1974\, “Blazing Saddles\,” when he released “Young Frankenstein” in theaters that same year. Arguably the director’s funniest and best-made film\, this affectionate spoof of the 1931 horror classic “Frankenstein” is a riotous comedy and a loving homage to the monster films of the 1930s. \n“‘Young Frankenstein’ is as funny as we expect a Mel Brooks comedy to be\, but it’s more than that: It shows artistic growth and a more sure-handed control of the material by a director who once seemed willing to do literally anything for a laugh. It’s more confident and less breathless. \n“The movie is a send-up of a style and not just of the material. It looks right\, which makes it funnier. And then\, paradoxically\, it works on a couple of levels: first as comedy\, and then as a weirdly touching story in its own right. \n“A lot of the credit for that goes to the performances of Gene Wilder\, as young Frankenstein\, and Peter Boyle as the monster. They act broadly when it’s required\, but they also contribute tremendous subtlety and control. Boyle somehow manages to be hilarious and pathetic at the same time.” — Roger Ebert \nTickets are $10 and are available via the link.
