As we are all aware, borders remain a critical subject of debate around the world. The purpose of these Teach Ins are to provide a setting for our campus to discuss the relationship between borders and ethnicity, race and gender in the context of a local border area that is the largest and most well-known today that remains a complex and contested space. Both of these presentations will allow participants to reflect on issues of race, ethnicity, class, gender, sexuality, citizenship, trans-nationalism and cultural/national identity in relation to the U.S.-Mexico Borderlands.

Talk: Encountering the Everyday in the People’s Republic of China
Covering nearly a half-century, China Tripping is the first anthology of reflections by influential experts on their cultural and social encounters in the People's Republic. Filling an important gap, it allows scholars, journalists, and businesspeople to reflect on their personal memories, which often teach more about how a society actually works than a planned course of study can. These stories open a vivid window on a rapidly evolving China and on the zigzag learning curve of the China trippers themselves.
Editors Paul Pickowicz and Jeremy Murray will speak about the book project, with reflections from other China scholars at UC San Diego.
This event is co-sponsored by the UC San Diego Geisel Library and will take place at the Faculty Club Seuss Library.
Admission/Cost: FREE but registration is required.

Film: Angels Are Made of Light
Synopsis: Conceived as a cinematic ode to Afghan civilians, filmed over three years, Angels Are Made of Light traces the lives of young students and their teachers at a school in the old city of Kabul. Interweaving the modern history of Afghanistan with a present-day portrait of a working-class neighborhood, the film offers an intimate and nuanced vision. Moving seamlessly through the points of view of multiple characters—three brothers, their friends, parents, male and female teachers, an elderly cleaning woman at the school—the film allows their thoughts and ideas to play out on the grand stage of Kabul. Their memories of the Afghan kingdom, the communist revolution and the civil war are brought to life through rare 35mm archival material unearthed in Afghanistan.
Guest Speaker: Farahnaz, a teacher in her home country of Afghanistan, was resettled to San Diego in 2018.
Angels Are Made of Light is part of the IRC's (International Rescue Committee)11th annual International Film Series.
Admission/Cost: $15
