Francisco Huichaqueo Pérez is an artist from the Indigenous Mapuche community in Chile whose work explores the social landscape, history, culture, and worldview of his people. His films use a variety of approaches to engage with, activate, and preserve Indigenous traditions and foster understanding. Kuifi ül (Ancient Sound) enacts the healing and awakening power of the trutruka, a traditional wind instrument. Trankal Küra presents a dance of resistance on stolen land, while reveries are re-created in Super 8 film and video in Los sueños de la Machi Silvia Kallfüman. Künü documents the commissioning and construction of a Mapuche ceremonial center, memorial, and place for parliament in Loncoche. It demonstrates the diplomatic prowess of the Mapuche leaders, who won consensus amongst disparate Indigenous communities, a forestry company, and the Chilean architects who helped them design the place.

Reproductive Justice: The Intersection of Health, Rights, and Social Justice
Wednesday, March 20th, 2024
06:30 PM
Student Union
Reproductive justice is a feminist framework, developed by women of color, that center’s the needs of the most marginalized and affirms our human right to bodily autonomy and to live healthy lives with access to the necessary physical, mental, political, economic, social, and sexual resources for the well-being of all people. The three core values of reproductive justice are the right to have a child, the right to not have a child, and the right to parent a child or children in safe and healthy environments.
This discussion will examine and highlight the disparities in care, access, and how it affects Black maternal health and mortality rates. Attendees will also understand the reproductive justice framework, learn about access and advocacy in Connecticut, and the barriers students have in accessing care.

Dr. Michele Back “Performing Knowledge and Identity in Native/Heritage Spanish Peer Tutoring Interactions”
Dr. Back offers a retrospective analysis of three previously published works (Back, 2020; Back, 2016a; Back, 2016b) about native/heritage speaker interaction in Spanish peer tutoring contexts. She first examines how knowledge is negotiated and co-constructed in peer tutoring sessions, particularly when gaps in lexical knowledge are evident on the part of the peer tutor. She discusses how these peer tutors draw upon embodied, artifactual, and historical resources, as well as “social others” (Lantolf, 2015) to resolve lexical gaps and position themselves as experts or non-experts. She then moves to an examination of a peer tutoring session in which knowledge of a popular Mexican television personality led to resistance and interactional asynchrony between the tutor and tutee. She outlines possible reasons for this asynchrony, with a focus on the difficulties of negotiating cultural and symbolic knowledge among native/heritage speakers, despite the potential richness that peer tutoring environments could provide for this type of language learning. She concludes with implications for language learning, including the potential the benefits of peer tutoring programs for both native/heritage and L2 Spanish learners, as well as the need for more transformative approaches in language learning for these programs to be truly enriching.
Dr. Michele Back is Associate Professor of World Languages Education at the University of Connecticut’s Neag School of Education, where she works with Spanish, French, Chinese, and ASL language teacher candidates. Dr. Back’s research interests include teacher development and professionalization; cultivating global citizenship; the ethical and equitable use of language learning technology, intersections of race, discourse, and identity; developing a pedagogy of symbolic competence; and the role of translanguaging and multilingual ecology in transforming schools and other communities of practice. She has published articles in the Modern Language Journal,Foreign Language Annals, TESOL Quarterly, and CALICO, as well as the books Transcultural Performance: Negotiating Globalized Indigenous Identities (Palgrave, 2015) and Racialization and Language: Interdisciplinary Perspectives from Peru (co-edited with Virginia Zavala, Routledge, 2019).

“Invisible Wounds: Unveiling Migration Trauma” chronicles 15-year-old Ruth’s migration from Honduras to the US upon discovering her pregnancy. Through interviews and home videos, the documentary intimately reveals the struggles of millions of undocumented migrants, emphasizing their contributions to the nation. Beyond the journey’s challenges, it delves into reuniting with family, adapting to new lives, and confronting anti-immigrant sentiments. The film critically examines mental health barriers, offering a timely and empathetic portrayal of the often-overlooked struggles faced by this vulnerable sector of American society.
Oscar Guerra is an Emmy® award-winning director, researcher, and educator. He is an Associate Professor of Film and Video at the University of Connecticut and a producer at PBS FRONTLINE. Dr. Guerra’s focus is storytelling that promotes critical thinking and social investment. He aims to produce media that provides a way for underrepresented groups to share and disseminate counterstories, contradict dominant and potentially stereotypical narratives, and strengthen their voices and identities. Dr. Guerra’s career spans the spectrum of television environments, music, multimedia production, documentaries for social change, promotional video, immersive media, and vast international experience. Follow him @guerraproduction.
Ana María Díaz-Marcos is a Professor of Spanish Literature at the Department of Literatures, Cultures and Languages. Her research interests include Spanish literature and theater, feminism and gender studies, and Hispanic antifascism in the press. She has published a monograph on representations of fashion in modern Spanish literature entitled The Age of Silk (2006). Her book Thinking out of the Box: Spanish Writers and the Quest for Emancipation (2013) examines the rising of a feminist consciousness in Spain. She is the editor of an open-access anthology of plays written by contemporary Spanish women playwrights: Escenarios de crisis: dramaturgas españolas en el nuevo milenio (2018). Her latest Digital Humanities projects include a bilingual exhibition about the history of the antifascist newspaper La voz (1937-1939) that was published in New York, a collection of articles from that newspaper that illustrate the intersections of Pan-Hispanic feminism and antifascism in the thirties, and a collection of cartoons from the press entitled “Sketches of Harlem” by Puerto Rican artist José Valdés Cadilla, that is on display at CUNY this Fall.

Talk Title: Naturalistic Reading Comprehension in L1 and L2: What can “model-brain alignment” tell us about its neurocognitive mechanisms
Abstract: With the rapid developments in generative AI and large language models (LLMs), researchers are assessing the impacts that these developments bring to various domains of scientific studies. In this talk, I describe the “model-brain alignment” approach that leverages the progress in LLMs. Along with recent proposals on shared computational principles in humans and machines for naturalistic comprehension (e.g., listening to stories, watching movies), we use model-brain alignment to study naturalistic reading comprehension in both native (L1) and non-native (L2) languages. By training LLM-based encoding models on brain responses to text reading, we can evaluate (a) what computational properties in the model are important to reflect human brain mechanisms in language comprehension, and (b) what model variations best reflect human individual differences during reading comprehension. Our findings show that first, to capture the differences in word-level processing vs. high-level discourse integration, current LLM-based models need to incorporate sentence prediction mechanisms on top of word prediction, and second, variations in model-brain alignment allow us to predict L1 and L2 readers’ sensitivity to text properties, cognitive demand characteristics, and ultimately their reading performance. Overall, our work highlights the utility of the model-brain alignment approach in the study of naturalistic reading comprehension at multiple levels of cognitive processing and multiple dimensions of individual variation.

About the Film
A Double Life unravels the mystery of Stephen Bingham’s past as a civil rights activist/lawyer and political fugitive, including his alleged involvement in a 1971 prison rebellion that left six people dead. In the aftermath of this incident, he spent 13 years living underground in Europe under an assumed identity, finally returning in 1984 to stand trial. The film presents a multi-layered portrait of a turbulent era and the role of one individual seeking justice for others and later for himself.
