Romance, Muslim Women, Grandparents, Divorce Addressed in
Lineup of Events for Women’s History Month at
CSU Dominguez
Hills
Carson, CA— Homeless
women, Muslim women, romance, grandparents raising grandchildren,
and divorce are among the subjects of weekly talks and documentaries
at California State University, Dominguez Hills in celebration
Women’s History Month from March
8 through April 12.
The events, free and open to the public, are sponsored by
the university’s Institute of Cultural Diversity. All
of them will be held at noon in Welch Hall, Room A-410. Seating
is limited.
The events are:
- “It Was a Wonderful Life,” March 8.
Actress Jodi Foster narrates this documentary of six former
middle-class women who had it all and lost it. They became
the “hidden homeless,” avoiding public shelters
and struggling to survive on their own by sleeping in their
cars or on a friend’s sofa.
- “Life of Muslim Women,” March 15. Sophia
Momand will speak about the home and family life of a Muslim
woman.
- “Romance in the Golden Years,” March 22.
The documentary draws a humorous and in-depth portrait
of a segment of American society whose inner lives are
not often explored, in the process making a snapshot of
America’s senior citizens.
- “Grandparents Raising Grandchildren,” April
5. The stories of three grandparents who have sole responsibility
for raising their children’s children are told in
this documentary. It is estimated that these stories are
repeated in about four million households across the United
States.
- “Shattered Dishes,” April 12. The intense
emotions surrounding the break up of families is confronted
in this documentary. The documentary also shows the ways
the experience can later affect the development of those
involved and their relationships.
