| appreciationorappropriation.eventbrite.com It seems we can't go a week without hearing about Cultural Appropriation -- the adoption of elements of a minority culture by members of the dominant culture. No longer a subject confined within academia, Cultural Appropriation debates dominate social media platforms and blogs where reality stars, singers, fashion designers, restaurateurs, and everyday folks are called out. Cultural Appropriation is also a favorite example for those who feel that we as a culture, and especially "the left", have become overly sensitive. Why is Cultural Appropriation problematic? Where is the line between appreciation and appropriation? Can folks of color be guilty? We will grapple with all of this and more with an esteemed panel. Panelists include: Grace I. Yeh is Associate Professor of Ethnic Studies at Cal Poly.

More on Portals
The global public art initiative, Portals, is coming to Cuesta College! Portals are gold shipping containers equipped with immersive audio-visual technology. When you enter one, you come face-to-face, live, full-body, with someone in an identical gold shipping container somewhere else on Earth. TheCuesta_Portal will connect to countries around the globe, including Afghanistan, Australia, Germany, Honduras, Iraq, Jordan, Kenya, Mexico, Myanmar, Palestine, Nairobi and Rwanda.

How Portals can transform schools: We live in an interconnected world, when information travels quickly, economies are intertwined, and events occurring on another continent sometimes feel close to home. What's missing from our Twitter feeds, Facebook posts, and newspapers is the sense of truly knowing someone, the feeling of human connection. Our schools increasingly embed global competency into their mission statements, and certainly it is as crucial as ever to embed in our students an awareness of different cultures and value systems. But the typical American student leads a heavily scheduled and often scripted life, without the direct, focused conversations that lead to deeper understanding. To put it briefly, today's youth communicate constantly but rarely engage.

Jenel Guadagno, Cuesta instructor & softball coach, will present on the history of women in

“The fact that you have a body — regardless of your appearance or ability
level — means that you innately have access to physical power. Your body is an
instrument to be used for your benefit, and not a burden to drag around, hiding and
fixing along the way.”
