You’ll also learn the history of Cuban political development at Havana’s Presidential Palace Museum, and have an opportunity to interact with Cubans from all walks of society.

The film challenges the media's limited and often disparaging portrayals of women and girls, which make it difficult for women to achieve leadership positions and for the average woman to feel powerful herself. The film had its broadcast premiere on OWN Oprah Winfrey Network in October 2011.

Featured in the 2011 Sundance Film Festival, it focuses on how the media’s misrepresentations of women have led to the underrepresentation of women in positions of power and influence (and what needs to happen to change that). So it looks at how the characterization of women in the media – from the news to movies and reality TV – affects women and girls (and men and boys) in everyday life, especially as we grow up and imagine our futures.

On Borneo, a vibrant green island in the South China Sea, you’ll find the earth’s oldest rainforest as well as Mount Kinabalu, one of the world’s most important biological sites, with 4,500 plant, 326 bird, and 100 mammal species—an abundance that has earned it a World Heritage designation. In addition to seeing these treasures, on your Malaysian/Bornean expedition you’ll meet the “old man of the forest”—the endangered orangutan—and snorkel the vibrant coral reef of Pulau Sapi. You’ll then embark on an eight-night cruise aboard the colonial-style riverboat Orient Pandaw, sailing on the Rajang, the grandest river in Sarawak (one of the two states that comprise Malaysian Borneo). The tour will be led by Gerry Ellis, an award-winning nature and environmental photojournalist. A post-trip extension to Kuching, the largest city in Borneo, is available.]]> admin Smith Travel Mon, 09 Jan 2012 10:45:31 +0100 CA1720070707-0-20081021-1-1167 http://alumnae.smith.edu/calendar/cal_popup.php?id=1258 Monthly Book Group

Cuba’s defiant history makes it a Caribbean island unlike any other. With recent changes in travel policy, you are now able to visit its colonial towns and tropical landscapes and explore its Afro-Cuban culture. You’ll traverse the island from east to west—Santiago to Havana—taking in colonial towns with small squares and cobblestone streets, where you’ll meet contemporary artists to learn their views on thematic shifts in 21st-century Cuban art, trending away from revolutionary content. You’ll also learn the history of Cuban political development at Havana’s Presidential Palace Museum, and have an opportunity to interact with Cubans from all walks of society. Please note that this trip is awaiting a People to People license to be issued by the Office of Foreign Assets Control.]]> admin Smith Travel Mon, 09 Jan 2012 10:46:26 +0100 CA1720070707-0-20081021-1-1168
