The 2008 Legislative session has ended, but we are trying to keep HB 1076 in everyone’s mind so it can be discussed throughout this next year. HB 1076 is the Bias Crimes Bill which would provide harsher sentences and punishments for those who attack and become violent towards a person or a group based on their race, ethnicity, sex, sexual orientation and gender identity.Indiana is one of seven states currently that does not have any hate crime legislation and we would like to change that.
On April 10, 2008,in the Maple Room at the Indiana Memorial Union from 7-8pm, come join us for a transgender panel in which transgender rights and the issue of hate crimes will be discussed. Please attend to expand your knowledge on this sensitive subject and further educate yourself about the challenges that this community faces.
We do encourage our participants to write a brief letter to their local representatives expressing their concern that Indiana does not have any hate crime legislation set into law. Materials will be provided at the forum. We encourage and appreciate your participation.

As the population ages, many adults are grappling with an unprecedented social, cultural, economic and personal revolution as they become the primary caregivers for their aging parents. This documentary draws much-needed attention to this widespread reality. Through an intimate look at five American families, the first 90 minutes of the special underscore today’s struggle to keep parents at home, the tensions between siblings and the complexity of shifting caregiver roles. In the end, successful caregiving requires one primary ingredient—love. Immediately after the 90-minute broadcast, former NBC medical correspondent Dr. Art Ulene leads “A Conversation About Caring,” a half-hour panel discussion that offers concrete advice and guidance on how to start the conversation—often the most difficult step in caregiving.

There is a question why more and more women subject themselves to time-consuming, expensive and sometimes painful processes in their quest for physical perfection. Yet this constant striving to reach a beauty ideal is not simply a matter of an individual's personal aesthetic choice. Traversing historical and contemporary notions of beauty, stereotypes and iconography within Asian and popular cultures, NEVER PERFECT incorporates a rich selection of archival footage and commentary from numerous voices which ignites lively debate on the phenomena as they pertain to race and gender identity. Never Perfect explores the complex journey of a young Vietnamese-American woman’s struggle with popular perceptions of beauty and body image as she fights the stigma of racial self-hatred in her decision to undergo cosmetic surgery.
