Simulcast Film Screenings: "Sotong" and "Against This Messy World"
April 6
2:00–3:30 p.m.
Chiles Hall 128

In partnership with GETSEA (Graduate Education and Training in Southeast Asia), CAPS (the Center for Asian and Pacific Studies) will host a screening of two short films that explore the challenges facing artistic expression within Malaysia’s complex political, legal, and social landscape.

Sotong follows four fierce local drag queens who were part of the 2022 Halloween party raided by the authorities. One of them, Juan, was arrested for ‘a man dressing up as a woman’. Two years later, they revisit on the fallout of that night as they continue to perform underground and nurture the Malaysian drag scene in all its beauty, joy, and pain.

Against This Messy World is a deeply introspective and visually captivating short documentary that delves into the heart and soul of artistic expression in Malaysia. A personal exploration, narrated by Malaysian artists, this documentary takes viewers on an evocative journey to understand the essence and purpose of being an artist in a world marked by chaos and uncertainty and piece together conversations and unfiltered moments in their lives.

Universities from across North America will come together to watch the films simultaneously, then connect via Zoom with the filmmakers for a post-screening discussion.

NW-NALRC Community Project Planning and Development Workshops
April 1–30
3:30–4:30 p.m.

The Northwest Native American Language Resource Center's Community Project Planning and Development (CPPD) workshops are designed to help guide you through the process of creating a community-based project: from coming up with the idea, to building a solid organizational and logistical foundation, and all of the other necessary steps to get your project proposal completed. Overall, there are 15 CPPD workshops in this series

Each workshop also has an associated next-day drop-in assistance hour. This workshop series is meant to take participants with little to no experience in community project planning and development and help them complete their first project proposal. While we are focused on assisting with project planning and development of Alaskan Native/Native American Language projects, much of the content that you will be learning in these workshops is readily transferrable to other types of projects.

Registrants will have access to all workshops in this April offering. Attendance at all workshops in the offering is recommended but not required. 

All instruction is provided online and instructors will join online. Participants will join remotely via zoom (please see technology section below.)

Workshops in this Offering

The CPPD workshops are offered in smaller, five workshop offerings. The first five workshops were offered in November and December of 2025. The workshops that are available in the April offering are: 

Workshop 6: Identifying Long-Range Goals 

  • Topic: Supports facilitation of community discussions to identify vision-aligned, long-term goals that drive project outcomes.
  • Date: 4/1
  • Drop-In Assistance: 4/2

Workshop 7: Defining Barriers to Long-Range Goals 

  • Topic: Identifies internal and external barriers, explores strategies to surface challenges, and begin problem-solving approaches.
  • Date: 4/8
  • Drop-In Assistance: 4/9

Workshop 8: Creating Project Goals & Objectives 

  • Topic: Translates community vision into specific, measurable project goals and objectives using clear, structured frameworks.
  • Date: 4/15
  • Drop-In Assistance: 4/16 

Workshop 9: Outcomes, Outputs, & Activities 

  • Topic: Distinguishes outcomes, outputs, and activities, aligns them within a project framework/logic model.
  • Date: 4/22
  • Drop-In Assistance: 4/23

Workshop 10: Building a Project Work Plan

  • Topic: Hands-on strategies to create a work plan with timelines, milestones, responsibilities, and deliverables.
  • Date: 4/29
  • Drop-In Assistance: 4/30

Technology

The CPPD workshops will be held via Zoom and will use Canvas, a course management system, for materials and activities. Participants must have an email address. It will be best to join on a computer that has a stable internet connection, a webcam, and headphones (depending on your work environment). Using a computer rather than a mobile device will improve your experience - you will be able to better  interact with others, participate in hands-on activities, and see presented materials.

NW-NALRC Community Project Planning and Development Workshops 6-10
April 1–30
3:30–4:30 p.m.

The NW-NALRC's Community Project Planning and Development (CPPD) workshops are designed to help guide you through the process of creating a community-based project: from coming up with the idea, to building a solid organizational and logistical foundation, and all of the other necessary steps to get your project proposal completed. Overall, there are 15 CPPD workshops in this series

Each workshop also has an associated Next-Day Drop-In Assistance Hour. This workshop series is meant to take participants with little to no experience in Community Project Planning and Development and help them complete their first project proposal. While we are focused on assisting with project planning and development of Alaskan Native / Native American Language projects, much of the content that you will be learning in these workshops is readily transferrable to other types of projects.

Registrants will have access to all workshops in this April 2026 offering. Attendance at all workshops in the offering is recommended but not required. 

The CPPD Workshops are offered in smaller, five workshop offerings. The first five workshops were offered in November and December of 2025. The workshops that are available in the April 2026 offering are: 

Workshop 6: Identifying Long-Range Goals 

  • Topic: Supports facilitation of community discussions to identify vision-aligned, long-term goals that drive project outcomes.
  • Date: 4/1

Workshop 7: Defining Barriers to Long-Range Goals 

  • Topic: Identifies internal and external barriers, explores strategies to surface challenges, and begin problem-solving approaches.
  • Date: 4/8
  • Drop-In Assistance: 4/9

Workshop 8: Creating Project Goals & Objectives 

  • Topic: Translates community vision into specific, measurable project goals and objectives using clear, structured frameworks.

  • Drop-In Assistance: 4/16 

Workshop 9: Outcomes, Outputs, & Activities

Technology

The CPPD workshops will be held via Zoom and will use Canvas, a course management system, for materials and activities. Participants must have an email address. It will be best to join on a computer that has a stable internet connection, a webcam, and headphones (depending on your work environment). Using a computer rather than a mobile device will improve your experience - you will be able to better  interact with others, participate in hands-on activities, and see presented materials.

The Global Justice Program Presents: "Israel: What Went Wrong?"
April 13
7:00 p.m.
Ford Alumni Center Lee Barlow Giustina Ballroom

Please join the Global Justice Program for a lecture on "Israel: What Went Wrong?" by Omer Bartov, an Israeli-American scholar and Dean’s Professor of Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Brown University.

This lecture will provide a gist of Bartov's forthcoming book, Israel: What Went Wrong?, to be published in April 2026. The book explores the tragic transformation of Zionism, a movement that sought to emancipate European Jewry from oppression, into a state ideology of ethno-nationalism. How is it possible that a state founded in the immediate aftermath of the Holocaust, an event that gave legitimacy to a national home for the Jews, stands credibly accused of perpetrating large-scale war crimes? How do we come to terms with the fact that Israel’s war of destruction is being conducted with the support, laced with denial and indifference, of so many of its Jewish citizens? Tracing the roots of the violent events currently unfolding in Israel and the occupied territories, the book tracks Israel’s moral tribulations and considers the origins of Zionism; the intertwining of its independence with Palestinian displacement; the politics of the Holocaust; controversies over the term "genocide"; and the uncertain future. 

Bartov is an Israeli-American scholar and Dean’s Professor of Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Brown University. He has written widely on war crimes, interethnic relations, and genocide. Recent books, published in multiple languages, include Anatomy of a Genocide: The Life and Death of a Town Called Buczacz (2018), which won the National Jewish Book Award, and Genocide, the Holocaust and Israel-Palestine: First-Person History in Times of Crisis (2023), named Choice 2024 Outstanding Academic Title. Bartov’s essays and commentaries have been widely featured in national and international magazines and media outlets. His new book, Israel: What Went Wrong? will be published in April 2026 by FSG in the US and Penguin/Random Books in the UK.
