DESCRIPTION:SFSU Human Rights Summit 2011\n\nPredatory Globalization: \nTransplant 
 Tourism and Live Organ Harvesting\n\n“Will sell any organ of which I have 
 two and which the removal of will not cause my immediate death'”-- 38 
 year old unemployed man in Recife, Brazil.\n\nKairos Theater Ensemble is 
 collaborating with renowned Anthropologist Nancy Scheper-Hughes to present 
 a theater-based interactive colloquium on the Issues and Ethics surrounding 
 "Global Transplant Tourism": the globalized "outsourcing" and 
 bio-extraction of organs from impoverished slum-dwellers in the third 
 world. In particular, Kairos will highlight the political economy of 
 desperation within a globalized market place where the poor pay all: with 
 their bodies, their health, their organs and their lives.\n\nNancy 
 Schepper-Hughes is a world-wide authority in transnational organ 
 trafficking, responsible for raising awareness of, disrupting and 
 challenging this global trade through her reporting, expert testimony, and 
 global activism. She is the founder of the NGO Organs Watch, and the 
 director of the program in Critical Medical Anthropology at UC Berkeley.  
 \n\nKairos Theater Ensemble is a professional theater company dedicated to 
 addressing and challenging structural violence and systemic oppression, 
 using the tools of Theater to bear witness, raise consciousness, create 
 dialogue, and inspire creative problem-solving and activism. \n\n
