Mission

Social Justice programs supports, advocates, and educates the University of Arizona and greater community in the areas of inequality and social injustices found in our society. We look at what we can learn from the distribution of power, privilege, and oppression. Our mission is to create a socially conscious campus.

We are located on the 4th floor of the Student Union Memorial Center, room 404.

event :: view calendar times    CANCELLED: House of Numbers, from the Films That Make a Difference Series, FREE Gallagher Theater Description: In House of Numbers, an AIDS film like no other, the HIV/AIDS story is being rewritten. This is the first film to present the uncensored POVs of virtually all the major players; in their own settings, in their own words. It rocks the foundation upon which all conventional wisdom regarding HIV/AIDS is based. House of Numbers could well be the opening volley in a battle to bring sanity and clarity to an epidemic gone awry. Mon Nov 23, CANCELLED    And the Band Played On, FREE Gallagher Theater There was a time when AIDS was not thought of in terms of a catastrophic world epidemic. Don Francis (Matthew Modine) and his tiny band of researchers at the Centers for Disease Control battle ignorance, indifference, prejudice, and politics in their fight against this deadly disease. Mon Nov 23, 7pm    Passion and Power: WRC Film, Free Gallagher Theater An entertaining documentary that explores the controversial history of the vibrator, from the Victorian era when doctors used the device to relieve women of hysteria through the sexual revolution of the 1960s and to the post-feminist present revealing the vibrator?s fascinating past. This provocative yet unexpectedly funny film digs deeper to uncover the mysteries of the female orgasm, and examines its ramifications for sexual politics and gender dynamics from the time of Hippocrates to the present day. Sponsored by ASUA Women's Resource Center and the Center for Student Involvement & Leadership. This is a WRC Film. Wed Dec 02, 7pm
