October 21 Can We Rebuild a Positive Consensus for International Trade? 7:00 PM, Parrington Hall Forum (309) a presentation by Bill Center, President, Washington Council on International Trade. Washington is often described as "the most trade dependent state in the nation." Even so, "trade" has become one of the most difficult issues on today's policy agenda. The 1999 Seattle WTO demonstrations spotlighted both growing divisions within traditional pro-trade coalitions and very real challenges associated with trade and globalization. The collapse of the recent WTO ministerial session in Cancun is but the latest speed bump on the road to trade liberalization. In a presentation titled "Can we rebuild a positive consensus for international trade?" Bill Center, President of the Washington Council on International Trade, will explore the importance of-and policy priorities for-addressing the challenges of globalization in order to create and sustain prosperity and improve the quality of life for ourselves and our global trading partners. Sponsored by the UW's Marc Lindenberg Center for Humanitarian Action, International Development and Global Citizenship; the World Affairs Council; The Forum at the Evans School; the UW's Global Trade, Transportation and Logistics Program; and the UW's Henry M.

She will discuss queer disruptions of global flows in two contexts: the political significance of popular film narratives of "white male stupidity" such as Dude, Where's My Car? and the theoretical importance of recent rethinkings of the relation between queer spatiality and queer temporality. In each of these very different cases, Halberstam draws on the insights of post-modern geography in order to disrupt the reproductive time of the nation. Both the public lecture and the workshop offer paradigms for reimagining the globalization of sexualities in terms of a queer critique by locating sexual politics today at the intersections of struggles over race, gender, class, and nationality. WORKSHOP: Fri, Oct 24. 3:00 PM, 202 Communications Bldg. Registration is required; spaces are limited. Please call 206.543.3920. This workshop will be based on a discussion of the first chapter of Halberstam's forthcoming book, In a Queer Time and Place: Essays on Postmodernism and Gendered Embodiment. This reading is available at the Simpson Center. Thinking Sex in Transnational Times is a series of free public lectures that explores sex across different epistemologies, spaces, regions, epochs, and disciplines.

A Great Wonder. (Kim Shelton, Producer). A new documentary about the "Lost Boys and Girls of Sudan." Orphans from the longest running civil war in Africa who have recently resettled in America. "A Great Wonder" traces the extraordinary journey of three young Sudanese orphans who have spent the majority of their lives either in flight from war or in a refugee camp. Having navigated the hazards of warfare, disease and starvation, and having survived a children's exodus of Biblical proportions, their arrival and settlement in America is not your average immigration story. The film follows two boys and one girl for 18 months as they struggle to not only assimilate into the American culture but cope with the memories of a life of war. (Source: http://www.agreatwonder.com/) The event features the award-winning documentary film "A Great Wonder" which portrays the lives of three Sudanese young adults in the Seattle area. Following the film, six panelists will discuss issues and concerns surrounding the education of refugee youth. The panelists include: Martha Akech, Abraham Dut Jok, and Santino Thiep Lual, the three Sudanese students portrayed in "A Great Wonder;" Tom Stritikus, Assistant Professor of Language, Literacy & Culture, College of Education, University of Washington; John Boyd, Principal, Bilingual Orientation Center, Seattle School District; and Mahamed Accord, Director, Somali Society Services, Seattle.

Qadri Ismail, University of Minnesota. October 30 Fun Thai Films for Fall, Nang Nak. 6:30 PM, Simpson Center, 206 Communications Bldg. (Free. Thai with English subtitles). After recovering from battle wounds, conscripted soldier Maak returns home to his adoring wife Nak and his new infant son. But why is everyone acting so strangely? And why are villagers dying? It soon becomes clear that all is not what it seems, and something is very wrong indeed! Just in time for Halloween, join us for this lavish re-telling of Thailand's most famous ghost story - and that's saying something in a country famed for its spooks and ghouls. Universally know and much loved in Thailand, Nang Nak is rumored to be a true story and has been filmed over twenty times for television and the cinema. This 1999 film version was a huge hit and features beautiful cinematography and an excellent cast. The nineteenth-century sets and costumes are carefully detailed, so between the spooks and chills, viewers can catch a glimpse of traditional life in a central Thai village of the past. November 5 The Challenge of Islam and Democratization in the Middle East. 7:00 PM, 110 Kane Hall. Saad Eddin Ibrahim, American University of Cairo.

Speaker: Arvind Krishna Mehrotra November 6 Fun Thai Films for Fall, Moonhunter (14 Dula, Songkram Prachachon). 6:30 PM, Simpson Center, 206 Communications Bldg. (Free. Thai with English subtitles). This film relays the story of some of the most important events in recent Thai history from the perspective of two students at the heart of the action. In the early 1970s, Seksan and Chiranan -- two university students in Bangkok -- were young, in love, and passionately committed to ending military dictatorship in Thailand. Seksan and other student leaders led the biggest mass demonstration in modern Thai history in October 1973, an event that led to the popular uprising that toppled the military dictatorship and restored democracy. But Seksan and Chiranan's lives take a drastic turn when they are caught in the wave of political violence, stirred up by remnants of the old ruling elite agitating for the return of dictatorial rule. The two flee to the jungle to join the Communist Party, fighting guerilla-style in the forests of Thailand. Cutting between "newsreel" footage of the 1973 protests and the activist's lives in the jungle, this film is a thought provoking attempt to come to terms with a part of recent Thai history that still has social and political repercussions.

Mekong Full Moon Party. 6:30 PM, Simpson Center, 206 Communications Bldg. (Free. Thai with English subtitles). More than 100,000 people gather by the Mekong River in Northeast Thailand on November Full Moon each year. After sunset, mysterious fireballs rise up from the river and disappear into the sky. While the locals still adhere to the traditional myth of the dragon, Great Naga, making a sacred offering to Buddha, the Western visitors take a more skeptical stance: Dr. Norati sets out to prove that the fireballs are natural; Dr. Surapol wants to prove the phenomenon a hoax. Meanwhile, temple-custodian Abbot Loh believes his monks have been responsible for the "miracle" for the past 30 years. The critically-acclaimed movie about the mystery of the controversial naga fireballs in Nong Khai province was honored for Best Movie, Best Director, and Best Actor.
