The Justice and the Arts Initiative (JAI,) in collaboration with the
Theatre & Dance Department and the CPA, is proud to present Mauricio
Salgado of ASTEP (Artists Striving to End Poverty) from New York as a

6:00 – 9:00 pm Workshop will focus on best practices and
approaches to teaching the arts in a wide spectrum of community
settings. Participants will engage in ensemble building techniques,
diversity scenarios, activities for setting an environment, and explore
the intersections of culture, community and creativity. No arts or
teaching experience required. Dress comfortably.
A word about JAI:
Student-artists come to Santa Clara University to grow in their own
artistic disciplines and obtain a well-rounded, liberal arts education.
In the process of attending SCU, students are exposed to the Jesuit
tradition of intellectual inquiry, ethics and spirituality. The programs
of JAI are one possible entry point for them as they seek to integrate
their artistry with the greatest needs of the world and work in creative
solidarity with people from marginalized populations. The Justice and
the Arts Initiative of the College of Arts and Sciences creates an
intellectual frame of reference for examining and fostering artistic
processes that are critically bound to issues of justice. The Guest
Artist Series features world-class artist-activists in film, theatre,
music, dance, visual and literary arts who have dedicated their lives to
issues of social justice.
ASTEP is in residency at SCU for the entire week. Please contact us at
jai@scu.edu or phone x5542 if you wish to arrange to meet with Mr.
Salgado outside of the above workshop time.
JAI is Co-Directed by Kristin Kusanovich and Carolyn Silberman.
Reservations (especially for groups) are appreciated but not necessary:

The Santa Clara University Department of Anthropology is pleased to announce the upcoming presentation by Dr. Lee Panich
19 January 2011
5:10 - 6:00 pm
Kennedy Commons
Dr. Panich will present
"The Archaeology of Spanish Missions: A View from Mission Santa Catalina, Baja, California."
Dr. Panich will explore how archaeology can add to our understanding of Spanish
colonial missions, using the case study of Mission Santa Catalina, in northern Baja California, Mexico. Founded in 1797, Santa
Catalina was a Dominican mission contemporaneous with the Franciscan
missions of Alta California. In both areas, archaeology can shed new light on the
lives of the indigenous people who lived and worked at mission sites, as well as the ties that native people maintained to communities and resources beyond the mission walls. At Santa Catalina, research into the mission’s native population has employed archaeological investigations, in addition to archival research and community partnerships. These diverse lines of evidence can help to create a more nuanced understanding of colonial California and the role of the mission period in the long-term histories of California Indian groups.
Snacks and refreshments will be provided.

Further, she has held leadership positions in several scientific societies, including her current appointment as President of the American Association for Cancer Research.
