Africaâs Hope is an emotionally charged and vibrant show that blends the true stories of Rwandan genocide survivors with traditional Intore dance, Kinyarwanda singing, contemporary dance and movement and live East African drumming. Created by Mashirika, the most highly acclaimed theatre company in Rwanda, Africaâs Hope is an incredible and energizing performance that looks to the future in the wake of the appalling 1994 genocide. Over the course of three months, one million people were murdered in Rwanda simply because of who they were. Those who survived were scarred for life. In Africaâs Hope, an internationally experienced cast of young and talented Rwandan artists tells the stories of their country through theatre, dance and music. While this production conveys the brutality of the conflict, it also highlights universal lessons of individual responsibility.
Established in 1997, Mashirika is composed of artists from a variety of disparate cultures who were exiled in Uganda during the 1994 genocide. This core group of actors, dancers and musicians is dedicated to presenting workshops and plays exploring issues around collective trauma, conflict resolution, HIV/AIDS education, genocide healing and reconciliation.

Creating synergies through a meeting of trans-disciplinary minds and perspectives
Workshop Theme:
Computational Approaches to Social Communication and Interaction Development in Autism
The entire community is invited but space is limited. Complimentary admission for registered attendees is on first-come/first-serve basis.
To register please visit: http://mhi.usc.edu/engineering-and-autism-workshop/
The Engineering and Autism Workshop is a one-day national workshop at USC that aims to bring together engineering researchers, especially in the broad domain of social/affective and communicative behavioral computing, with leading Autism researchers and clinicians as well as the broader community of stakeholders including families. It aims to highlight and explore the opportunities and possibilities of engineering and computing advances in supporting research and translation in Autism by creating synergies and partnerships by initiating a multidisciplinary dialog.
The focus of the workshop is on Social Communication and Interaction Development in Autism. Leading Autism researchers will speak about early detection and intervention advances while engineering researchers will highlight advances in sensing, behavioral signal processing, computing and behavioral informatics that hold promise for supporting Autism research and clinical translation. A panel of experts will discuss the potential, challenges and new directions for collaborative partnerships across the community.
The Engineering and Autism Workshop is sponsored and hosted by the Ming Hsieh Institute of the USC Viterbi School of Engineering. It is also hosted by the Center of Behavior Imaging of Georgia Institute of Technology and the Center of Autism Research in Engineering (CARE) of the USC Signal Analysis and Interpretation Laboratory.
Other workshop affiliates include Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign, Boston University, Carnegie Mellon University, Emory University, Northeastern University and the University of Pittsburgh.

The Daughters of Thelma & Louise
Sat, Sep 29, 2012 @ 05:00 PM - 08:00 PM
USC Viterbi School of Engineering
University Calendar
Admission is free.
Reception to follow.
Reel Roles: Representing Gender in American Media is a two-part series that looks at the representation of gender and sexuality in film and television and its impact on social and cultural perceptions and identity. The series will begin with a screening and discussion of the groundbreaking film Thelma & Louise. In 1991, Thelma & Louise was received by mainstream audiences to great acclaim and was seen by some as a call to arms for gender equality in modern America. Yet, more than twenty years later, itâs questionable whether or not this call has been heard, and some suggest that society has regressed in this regard. Following a screening of the film, Jennifer Warren from the USC School of Cinematic Arts will moderate a conversation with Callie Khouri, the Academy AwardÂÂâwinning screenwriter of Thelma & Louise; USC English professor Alice Echols; and film critic and cultural theorist B. Ruby Rich. They will discuss the filmâs impact on the motion-picture industry, the culture at large and gender roles today.Location: Eileen L. Norris Cinema Theatre (NCT) - Norris Cinema Theatre
