No Dads, No Masters serves as an interrogation of white, working-class, midwestern, hetero-masculinity as a material subject, and subsequently, an interrogation of myself, as I am of this array. The artworks presented, and writing herein, make for a repositioning of contemporary gender theories to be overlaid onto these specific material masculinities.

The Institute for Latino Studies welcomes Nilda Flores-González, Professor of Sociology at the University of Illinois at Chicago, to present on her latest book titled Citizens but Not Americans: Race and Belonging among Latino Millennials. A reception and book signing will precede the event on February 6th at 6:15 p.m. in the McKenna Hall Atrium. The lecture will begin at 7:00 p.m.
"In Citizens but Not Americans, Nilda Flores-González examines how Latino millennials understand race, experience race, and develop notions of belonging. Based on nearly one hundred interviews, Flores-González argues that though these young Latina/os are U.S. citizens by birth, they do not feel they are part of the “American project,” and are forever at the margins looking in. The book provides an inside look at how characteristics such as ancestry, skin color, social class, gender, language and culture converge and shape these youths’ feelings of belonging as they navigate everyday racialization." –

Show Some Skin
: Try Us
will be held on
February 22, 23, and 24 at 7:30pm in the Debartolo Performing Arts Center
. The special performance at the South Bend Civic Theatre will be on April 7 in collaboration with Indiana University South Bend students. This year’s performance places a special emphasis on moral imagination. We have dared our writers and actors to emerge with something that will try our capacity for empathy, and we know our audience will be challenged as we have been.
Given the current climate and the role that university campuses can play in facilitating constructive dialogue on crucial issues around mental health, race, gender, poverty, sexual assault, etc., Show Some Skin plays an indispensable role in initiating, enhancing, and over all, humanizing these necessary conversations on our own campus and broader community. Over the past years we have successfully created a space where dialogue on these essential issues are brought to the forefront and conducted in a constructive and thoughtful way. The art form we employ has also proved to have the most potential in facilitating needed changes to our campus climate. We aim to elevate the conversation, giving a human voice and face to topics that are all too often reduced and weaponized for tribal political machinery.
It has been a great six years and as we look to ensure that
Show Some Skin: Try Us
is a successful performance.

Gender Studies is about understanding people, both yourself and others. Gender Studies teaches us how human identities are shaped by gender and related traits such as sex, sexuality, race, ethnicity, class, religion and nationality. Through Gender Studies, we not only strive to understand people better, but because of this endeavor, we hopefully become more understanding people.
