How Women and Health NGOs Use Communications Strategically to Advocate for Gender Equality and Reproductive Health
2023-04-19 10:00 - 12:00 (America/New_York) | Center for Communication, Culture, and Change, 5100 Brunson Dr., Coral Gables, 33146, United States
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.
Panelists 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.
A hybrid event, it will be attended by NGO practitioners and academics and students from across the world.
Panel 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.
This 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.
This event will take place at the School of Communication in room 1021 and virtually.

Miami-Dade County’s pioneer eco-artist and inaugural artist-in-residence, Xavier Cortada, will celebrate Earth Day 2023 at the University of Miami’s Cosford Cinema by working with his team at the Xavier Cortada Foundation to engage guests in a series of thought-provoking and solutions-oriented art projects that explore our deep interconnectedness with the rest of the planet.
Cortada will invite everyone in attendance to participate in The Underwater, a countywide campaign that’s catalyzing action on sea level rise through elevation-driven public art installations. After receiving their personalized Elevation Marker, participants will have the opportunity to join Cortada in the Longitudinal Installation, a ritual aimed at building empathy and connection that he performed at both of the Earth’s poles. Inside the theater, Cortada will provide a preview exhibition of Underwater Florida, hand-painted Elevation Markers that he created at 54 coastal city halls to expose their vulnerability to rising seas, and share reflections on how we can mobilize communities around the climate crisis by tapping into our own creativity.
The program will close with DO NOT OPEN, a project asking the audience to write a letter to someone in 2123 that will be sealed and stored in the University of Miami’s archives for 100 years.

Watching Movies with Gloria Estefan: 'Young Frankenstein' (1974)
2023-09-16 17:00 - 19:30 | Bill Cosford Cinema, 5030 Brunson Drive, Dooly Memorial 225, Coral Gables, FL, 33146, United States
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.
Estefan 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.
Having 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.
In 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.
She 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.
In June, Estefan became the first Latina in history to be inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN (1974) | d. Mel Brooks | With: Gene Wilder, Peter Boyle, Marty Feldman, Madeline Kahn, Cloris Leachman, Gene Hackman. | Running time: 1H 46M | RATED PG
Writer-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.
“‘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.
“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.
“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

Unveiling New Horizons In Narratives: A Digital Frontier: Dr. Hartmut Koenitz
2023-09-28 11:00 - 12:15 | Bill Cosford Cinema, 5030 Brunson Drive, Dooly Memorial 225, Coral Gables, FL, 33146, United States
Join us as we welcome Dr. Koenitz, a distinguished professor hailing from prestigious institutions including Södertörn University, University of Amsterdam, and Trinity College Dublin.
Narratives play a pivotal role in recording, communicating, and comprehending the intricacies of human existence. As our world grows increasingly complex, traditional narrative forms fall short of representing this reality. The widening gap between our intricate reality and the limitations of traditional discourse— often confined to newspaper articles and TV newscasts— creates a breeding ground for political extremism. What we truly need are narrative representations that embrace this complexity, prompting a reinvention of storytelling through the transformative potential of digital media.
Interactive digital narratives emerge as a groundbreaking response, akin to how video games immerse individuals in compelling stories by offering competing perspectives, choices, displaying resulting consequences, and allowing for repeat experiences. These narratives break barriers, enabling audiences to actively shape their experiences.
This talk introduces a model to comprehend these new narratives, drawing parallels to the interactive elements witnessed in video games. Join us as we delve into the questions of design and application, navigating the uncharted territories of narrative evolution in the digital era.

Watching Movies with Kareem Tabsch: 'The Birdcage' (1996)
2023-10-07 17:00 - 19:30 | Bill Cosford Cinema, 5030 Brunson Drive, Dooly Memorial 225, Coral Gables, FL, 33146, United States
Join filmmaker and O Cinema co-founder Kareem Tabsch and Bill Cosford Cinema manager, Rene Rodriguez, for a screening of Mike Nichols 1996 comedy “The Birdcage” followed by a Q&A in-person discussion with Tabsch.
Kareem Tabsch is an Emmy-nominated filmmaker whose work focuses on documenting that which exists on the fringes of mainstream society. His feature films include “Mucho Mucho Amor” (2020) and “The Last Resort” (2018) and the short film “Dolphin Lover” (2015).
Tabsch’s work has been included at prestigious festivals like Sundance, SXSW, and HotDocs, and has been featured in outlets like The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, and NPR among others.
In 2020, Tabsch’s film “Mucho Mucho Amor” was named one of the 20 essential Latino Films by The New York Times. It was nominated for Emmy, GLADD, and Imagen Awards and was named Best Latinx Film by the National Association of Latino Independent Producers. He was named a ’40 under 40′ documentary filmmaker by DocNYC, America’s largest documentary film festival.
In 2011, Tabsch co-founded the long-running O Cinema non-profit arthouse theater chain with Vivian Marthell.
Tabsch is a first-generation American of Latino and Middle Eastern descent. Rush Limbaugh once said his work was contributing to the decay of American Society.
THE BIRDCAGE | 1996 | DIRECTOR: Mike Nichols | WITH: Robin Williams, Nathan Lane, Gene Hackman, Dianne Wiest, Hank Azaria, Calista Flockhart | RUNNING TIME: 1 HOUR 57 MINUTES | RATED R for adult language.
Mike Nichols (“The Graduate”) directed Robin Williams and Nathan Lane in this Hollywood remake of 1978’s foreign-language hit “La Cage aux Folles,” a comedy about an openly gay couple trying to pass off as straight in order to please the ultra-conservative parents of their son’s fiancee. Shot largely on location in South Beach.

“Remakes don’t get much better than Mike Nichols’s “The Birdcage,” which embraced drag shows long before they became the height of cool, and more unsettlingly, another casualty of the rising tide of fascism. The movie’s entire pivot point is the marriage in everything but name between Armand (the much-missed Robin Williams) and Albert (Nathan Lane), the former of whom is the owner of the drag club where the latter is star performer Starina.
“Their relationship is tested when their son Val (Dan Futterman) announces his marriage to Barbara (Calista Flockhart, in one of her first roles), the daughter of a Republican politician, and Armand and Albert attempt to pass as respectable straights. The result is a satire so subversive that audiences willingly laughed at many of their most sacred cows, including marriage, politics, sexism, homophobia, and the traditional family itself.” — Andrea Thompson, Chicago Reader

Watching Movies with Connie Ogle: 'Aliens' (1986)

Connie Ogle has worked at the Miami Herald for 36 years in a variety of roles, including books editor, movie critic, features writer, and editor. She is currently the food writer for the Herald.
ALIENS | 1986 | DIRECTOR: James Cameron | WITH: Sigourney Weaver, Michael Biehn, Carrie Henn, Bill Paxton, Lance Henriksen, Paul Reiser | RUNNING TIME: 2H 17M | RATED R for monster violence and language.
57 years after Ellen Ripley had a close encounter with the reptilian alien creature from 1979’s “Alien,” she is called back into action to help a group of highly trained colonial marines fight off against the sinister extraterrestrials.
But this time, the aliens have taken over a space colony on the moon LV-426. When the colonial marines are called upon to search the deserted space colony, they later find out that they are up against more than what they bargained for.
“‘Aliens’ is absolutely, painfully and unremittingly intense for at least its last hour. Weaver goes into battle to save her colleagues, herself and the little girl, and the aliens drop from the ceiling, pop up out of the floor, and crawl out of the ventilation shafts. (In one of the movie’s less plausible moments, one alien even seems to know how to work the elevator buttons.) I have never seen a movie that maintains such a pitch of intensity for so long; it’s like being on some kind of hair-raising carnival ride that never stops.” – Roger Ebert
