SASU is screening 'Subtext: real stories' by Eric Weissman on Saturday, March J.A. De Seve Theatre (LB-‐125) Library Building (1400 de Masionneuve west) at 1:00 PM.
The free screening will be followed by a discussion with the filmmaker.
Subtext is a rough-cut documentary exploration. It explores an urban shantytown and the strides of activists, ex-residents, and the City of Toronto to find solutions to homelessness. Its focus is the residents of Tent City. The subjects dictate where cameras go, leading us into their pasts, conflicts, and daily lives -- by road and foot through the urban landscape. We examine caves on the Don River, squats under the highway, trips to the hospital, and abandoned buildings, but our journey always leads back to Tent City … to a thorough, often surprising understanding of the people who lived there.
Eric Weissman is currently a SIP doctoral student in Sociology & Anthropology at Concordia University.
Beverley Best has published a book entitled "Marx and the Dynamic of the Capital Formation: An Aesthetics of Political Economy".

 ÂThe Arts and Science Undergraduate Research Day will take place on Friday April 9, 2010 at the downtown campus. Guidelines for oral and poster presentations as well as deadlines can be found via this link.
The goal of this annual event is to showcase the diverse nature and outstanding quality of research and research-creation work that is being undertaken by undergraduate students in our many programs. It is a wonderful opportunity for students to gain experience presenting in a conference-like setting amongst their peers, and to be adjudicated by experts in their fields.
Last year's event was a great success. Nineteen departments and colleges were represented, with 64 poster and research-creation presentations, and 18 oral presentations. As with the past three Undergraduate Research Days, there will be a reception and an awards ceremony with cash prizes for the best posters and oral presentations.
If you are interested please contact Victoria Palmer by Friday February 26th.ÂDepending on demand, the department may be able to provide financial support for the production of posters. Templates and instructions for posters can be found via the Shaver/Reimer Tips and Tools page.
Details can also be found on the .A&S Undergraduate Research Day webpage
