Join UAF Women's Center for a screening of the award winning documentary, Miss Representation!

Tuesday, April 21st 6:00 p.m.
Arctic Java in the UAF Wood Center

Miss Representation explores the under-representation of women in positions of power and influence in America, and challenges the media's limited portrayal of what it means to be a powerful woman. 

The film interweaves stories from teenage girls with provocative interviews, to give an inside look at the media and its message. The film’s motto, “You can't be what you can't see,” underscores an implicit message that young women need and want positive role models, and that the media has thus far neglected its unique opportunity to provide them. The film includes a social action campaign to address change in policy, education and call for socially responsible business.

Communicating frankly about sex is difficult! GTC's Dramatic Dialogues innovative Intervention Theater program combines short dramatic scenes, moderated talk-backs, and real life scenarios to cut through the rhetoric to get at the real issues.

Speaking of Sex . . . provides a safe forum to question or comment on the complicated webs of sexual communication and miscommunication. GTC's trained professionals solicit responses from students, challenge students to think past their initial responses, to look more deeply at the complexities, and to ask, "Is this really what I believe?" Speaking of Sex encourages students to teach and learn from each other.

WONDER WOMEN! THE UNTOLD STORY OF AMERICAN SUPERHEROINES traces the fascinating evolution and legacy of Wonder Woman. From the birth of the comic book superheroine in the 1940s to the blockbusters of today, WONDER WOMEN! looks at how popular representations of powerful women often reflect society’s anxieties about women’s liberation.

WONDER WOMEN! goes behind the scenes with Lynda Carter, Lindsay Wagner, comic writers and artists, and real-life superheroines such as Gloria Steinem, Kathleen Hanna and others, who offer an enlightening and entertaining counterpoint to the male-dominated superhero genre.
