If you missed "Persepolis" at Pomona College last week, it will be playing again April 2nd at the Garrison Theater on the campus of Scripps College. The film is part of the Humanities Institute's Spring 2009 program, "Muslim Women: Contemporary Realities."
The program also features a number of lectures. The next one is 7:30pm on March 25th at Scripps' Boone Recital Hall. Dr. Amina Wadud, a visiting scholar at the Starr King School of the ministry in Berkeley will give a lecture titled "Islam Beyond Patriarchy."
On April 9th, one week after "Persepolis" is shown, you can hear Marjane Satrapi herself speak, 7:30pm at Garrison Theater. (Why they didn't have the film and the author/illustrator on the same night?)
Here are the films remaining in the Humanities Institute Spring 2009 program:
