As with many artists of his generation, punk culture became an avenue in which the artist formulated his own creative identity. As both a participant in the punk scene and as a visual artist, Ortiz-Torres&#8217;s works demonstrate his intimate relationship with his subjects. The diverse media included in this exhibition, such as paintings, drawings, photographs, and video, exemplify Ortiz-Torres&#8217;s rigorous technical skill and also provide a rare opportunity for visitors to experience this highly-regarded artist&#8217;s earlier works.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: Verdana;\"><br \/>\nClean Energy in the Californias <\/span><\/h3>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana;\">November 7, 2011<br \/>\nWeaver Center \u2014 Institute of the Americas UCSD campus <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana;\">FREE EVENT (Advance Registration Required) Register at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.iamericas.org\/en\/events\/registration\/event\/60\/Clean-Energy-in-the-Californias-\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.iamericas.org\/en\/<wbr>events\/registration\/event\/60\/<wbr>Clean-Energy-in-the-<wbr>Californias-<\/wbr><\/wbr><\/wbr><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana;\">Event will be conducted in English with simultaneous interpretation <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana;\">CONFIRMED SPEAKERS: Cecilia Aguillon, Director, Government Affairs, Kyocera Solar Scott Anders, Director, Energy Policy Initiatives Center, University of San Diego Law School Gilberto Garc\u00eda, Government Relations and Policy Director Latin America, GE Energy Daniel Hill, CEO, Silicon Border David Mu\u00f1oz Andrade, Director General, Energy Commission, State of Baja California Tim Olson, Senior Policy Advisor, California Energy Commission Nicolas Puga, Partner, Bates White Duncan Wood, International Relations Program Director, ITAM &amp; Researcher, Woodrow Wilson Center <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: Verdana;\"><br \/>\nUSD Trans-Border Institute (TBI): The Effects of Violence in Mexico on Migration and Immigration Policy<\/span><\/h3>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana;\">November 8, 2011<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong>Location: University of San Diego, Joan B.

This change is primarily concerned with the design of programs, such as conditional cash transfer (Oportunidades) and universal health insurance (Seguro Popular) that affect the work of doctors and nurses who offer medical services. While it has sought to minimize the influence of political interests in these programs, and medical professionals in Mexico are highly professional, doubts persist about the fair and transparent use of public resources and accountability. At the same time, responsibility for funding and provision of health services was returned to state governments in a process of decentralization, which in turn raises questions about institutional arrangements and their impact on the provision of public goods and services such as clinics and hospitals. The aim of this conference is to explore these issues with tools of social science and biomedical background to understand the challenges facing Mexico in the field of public health. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.universityofcalifornia.edu\/casa\/directions.html\" target=\"_blank\">Directions to the House of California<\/a><br \/>\nFor more information, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/usmex.ucsd.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\">USMEX page<\/a><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: Verdana;\"><br \/>\nCall for Papers: National Association of Hispanic and Latino Studies <\/span><\/h3>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana;\">20th Annual NAAAS &amp; Affiliates National Conference<br \/>\nFebruary 13-18, 2012<br \/>\nCrowne Plaza Executive Center<br \/>\nBaton Rouge, Louisiana <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana;\">Abstracts not to exceed two (2) pages, should be submitted that relate to any aspect of the Hispanic and Latino experience.

We will identify 18 Latino grocery stores (or tiendas) in San Diego County and randomly assign them to intervention or control conditions. The intervention will consist of communication change strategies and structural change strategies with the goal of changing aspects of the social and physical environments of the tiendas to increase sales and consumption of produce. The intervention will include employee and manager trainings to promote the sales of fruits and vegetables and a food marketing campaign. The primary aim is to increase self-reported fruit and vegetable intake in a sample of 360 adult store customers between baseline and 6-month follow up. Intervention effectiveness will be evaluated at the employee, manager, and store levels. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana;\">Are you interested in working with our Latino community? El Valor de Nuestra Salud is a public health research study promoting healthy foods through grocery stores. We are currently seeking a Bilingual research assistant to recruit and conduct baseline evaluation activities with customers and employees of Latino grocery stores in San Diego County.

But this mythic depiction of heroic struggle conceals a much more complicated history, which Victoria Gonz\u00e1lez-Rivera unravels in this book. As early as 1837, she shows, some Nicaraguan women expressed interest in eliminating the tyranny of male domination, and this interest grew into full-fledged campaigns for female suffrage and access to education by the 1880s. By the 1920s a feminist movement emerged among urban, middle-class women and lasted for two more decades until it was eclipsed in the 1950s by a nonfeminist movement of mainly Catholic, urban, middle-class and working-class women who supported the liberal, populist, patron-clientelistic regime of the Somozas in return for the right to vote and various economic, educational, and political opportunities. Counterintuitively, it was actually the Somozas who encouraged the participation of women in the public sphere (as long as they remained loyal Somocistas), whereas their opponents, the Sandinistas and Conservatives, often appealed to women through their maternal identity. What emerges from this fine-grained analysis is a picture of a much more complex political landscape than that portrayed by the simplifying myths of current Nicaraguan historiography, and we can now see why and how the Somoza dictatorship did not endure by dint of fear and compulsion alone. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CLAS E-Bulletin: November 3, 2011 To be added to the E-Bulletin email list, send a message to Elizabeth S\u00e1enz at esaenz@mail.sdsu.edu Having trouble viewing this email?\u00a0 You can view the E-Bulletin online at: http:\/\/latinamericanstudies.sdsu.edu\/ebulletin.html. 1-CLAS and Other Events at SDSU CLAS and LASSO present: Lotri for Haiti A Raffle of a Photograph by Robert Bear [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6979","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-avisosyconvocatorias"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.colef.mx\/elmuro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6979"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.colef.mx\/elmuro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.colef.mx\/elmuro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.colef.mx\/elmuro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.colef.mx\/elmuro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6979"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.colef.mx\/elmuro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6979\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.colef.mx\/elmuro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6979"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.colef.mx\/elmuro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6979"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.colef.mx\/elmuro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6979"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
