MÁRIA BOGDÁN, JEKATYERINA DUNAJEVA, TÍMEA JUNGHAUS, ANGÉLA KÓCZÉ, MÁRTON RÖVID, IULIUS ROSTAS ¸ , ANDREW RYDER, MAREK SZILVÁSI, MARIUS TABA Nothing about us without us? Roma participation in knowledge production and policy making was a unique three-day gathering of Roma and pro-Roma activists and thinkers.1 Held in Budapest in October 2014, this forum provided opportunity to reflect not only on the previous decades of struggle, but also to think about future directions. Looking back on the early days of the Romani Movement, activists recalled the idealism and hope of times past, which had somehow vanished. This loss of hope was attributed to lost con- nections with communities; inward-looking and narrow ideologies; and hierarchical decision-making within government and civil society structures. It was also felt that acute forms of poverty and xenophobia had done much to disempower and disenchant. Structural racism in academia David Gillborn, the renowned advocate of critical race theory, contends that racism is engrained in the fabric and system of society and that institutional racism is pervasive in dominant culture. At Gillborn’s public lecture held in

  • 2020 Commencement Program.Pdf
    Commencement MAY 2020 WELCOME FROM THE PRESIDENT Dear Friends: This is an occasion of profoundly mixed emotions for all of us. On one hand, there is the pride, excitement, and immeasurable hope that come with the culmination of years of effort and success at the University of Connecticut. But on the other hand, there is the recognition that this year is different. For the first time since 1914, the University of Connecticut is conferring its graduate and undergraduate degrees without our traditional ceremonies. It is my sincere hope that you see this moment as an opportunity rather than a misfortune. As the Greek Stoic philosopher Epictetus observed, “Difficulties show us who we are.” This year our University, our state, our nation, and indeed our world have faced unprecedented difficulties. And now, as you go onward to the next stage of your journey, you have the opportunity to show what you have become in your time at UConn. Remember that the purpose of higher education is not confined to academic achievement; it is also intended to draw from within those essential qualities that make each of us an engaged, fully-formed individual – and a good citizen. There is no higher title that can be conferred in this world, and I know each of you will exemplify it, every day. This is truly a special class that will go on to achieve great things. Among your classmates are the University’s first Rhodes Scholar, the largest number of Goldwater scholars in our history, and outstanding student leaders on issues from climate action to racial justice to mental health.

Thursday, September 3rd, 1970 INT. PATIO TEPEJI 21 - DAY Yellow triangles inside red squares. Water spreading over tiles. Grimy foam. The tile floor of a long and narrow patio stretching through the entire house: On one end, a black metal door gives onto the street. The door has frosted glass windows, two of which are broken, courtesy of some dejected goalee. CLEO, Cleotilde/Cleodegaria Gutiérrez, a Mixtec indigenous woman, about 26 years old, walks across the patio, nudging water over the wet floor with a squeegee. As she reaches the other end, the foam has amassed in a corner, timidly showing off its shiny little white bubbles, but - A GUSH OF WATER surprises and drags the stubborn little bubbles to the corner where they finally vanish, whirling into the sewer. Cleo picks up the brooms and buckets and carries them to - THE SMALL PATIO - Which is enclosed between the kitchen, the garage and the house. She opens the door to a small closet, puts away the brooms and buckets, walks into a small bathroom and closes the door. The patio remains silent except for a radio announcer, his enthusiasm melting in the distance, and the sad song of two caged little birds. The toilet flushes. Then: water from the sink. A beat, the door opens. Cleo dries her hands on her apron, enters the kitchen and disappears behind the door connecting it to the house.
