Description: Come join us for our first-ever workshop about the practical applications to activism geared toward a broad audience of undergraduate, graduate, and community members. All are invited to attend. This will require active participation and discussion in smaller group break-out sessions on the topic of media portrayals, the impact of immigration reform, racial quotas in school admissions, and racially-motivated hate crimes facilitated by graduate students at Madison.
When: Tuesday, November 13, 2007, 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
Where: Helen C. White Building, Room 7191 (room holds about 100 or more)
Who: Every major Asian American student organization member and allies are welcome
What: We will be featuring local speakers and gearing this workshop toward gaining hands-on skills to advocate and talk about the issues that matter to you. The theme is "learning from each other" because we all come from different career and student leadership backgrounds and can benefit from learning from one another's activism and energy.
Speaker:
Ray Hsu is a Ph.D. candidate in English literary studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He won a Humanities Exposed Evjue Research Award for establishing a creative writing community and GED tutoring program in a prison.

Kartika Review, a literary journal that publishes Asian American creative writing, would like to place an open call for submissions from any of your members who write fiction, poetry, narrative essays, or who are artists.
Our website is at www.kartikareview.com, but please bear with us on the web design. We just hired a professional web designer, who is in the midst of renovating the site. What you'll see now is amateur web design work by someone who knows nothing about web design and which was done in MS FrontPage.
Kartika seeks fiction, poetry, narrative essays, book reviews, and artwork. Although our inaugural issue will be a downloadable e-Journal PDF file from our website, we will publish in print an annual anthology of the best works of that year, which all contributors will be given complimentary copies of. Please consider supporting our journal by submitting your creative works. We would love to hear from you!
Direct all submissions or queries to: editor@kartikareview.com
