Interested in finding a summer internship but don't know where to start? Come to the Career Center's new Internship Spotlight Series to hear students speak about their past summer experiences and learn about exciting internship possibilities! Each week a new industry will be highlighted - from technology to human rights and everything in between. This week the series is on Arts, Communication, and Media. The series will be an informal opportunity to talk personally to students who have recently done internships in various fields, working for IBM and ABC, non-profit organizations and top universities. The event will be held from 5:00-6:00pm and is open to all undergraduates, and there is no need to sign-up beforehand. Please contact the Career Center at 919-660-1050 for the location.
The Women’s Center and the Sallie Bingham Center for Women’s History and Culture is sponsoring Resistance Behind Bars: The Struggles of Incarcerated Women, at 6:00pm in the Women’s Center. How does gender impact incarceration? With over 114,000 women in prison, why do we still think about men when we think about prison issues? What can we do to both act in solidarity with those struggling inside while working towards a world outside where prisons are no longer necessary? Victoria Law, author of Resistance Behind Bars and Tenacious (a zine of women prisoners' writings) will examine the particular challenges facing incarcerated women and discuss their past and present strategies of resistance. Alexis Pauline Gumbs, educator, scholar and member of the Durham Harm Free Zone Organizing Committee will talk about the connection between the Harm Free Zone Process happening here in Durham and will encourage attendees to think about solidarity.
